Brad Pitt races in front of British Grand Prix crowd

The actor has been spotted filming scenes for his new movie with co-star Damson Idris for Apple Studios’ upcoming Formula 1 movie. The actors both wore white racing suits with their fictional team name, APXGP, on the front.

Pitt shot scenes for the film, which involved driving around the official circuit in front of 140,000 fans in Northamptonshire, UK.

“I have to say it’s just great to be here,” said Pitt with Sky Sports. “We just laughed so much, so much laughter, the best time of my life.”

“Listen, everything was just great,” he continued. “I mean, the vibe is great just being a part of it in that way and telling our story. Everyone was really cool with us. All teams opened the doors for us.”

Pitt also noted that the film “is going to be really good.”

“I’ll stay here until they kick me out because I love it. I think it’s everyone’s dream,” he added, before giving his own description of the film.

“Then his friend, played by javier bardem, is the team owner. They’re the last place team, they’re 21, 22 on the starting lineup, they’ve never taken a point and they’ve got a young phenomenon played by Damson Idris and he brings me as a kind of Hail Maria and Jokes in to make sure “He betrayed. “I’ll tell you what’s amazing about it: you’ll see the cameras all over the car, the footage you’ve never seen at speed, you’ve never seen g-forces like that, it’s really, really exciting. ” “

Pitt, who said he’s been racing his motorcycles for 20 years, remarked that learning to ride a track is “humbling”.

“I don’t know if you can call mine a hot lap, I call it kind of a warm lap,” the actor joked. “I did a couple of trips through the grass unintentionally, it was so high.”

Pitt also wanted to address possible criticism from viewers, saying any issues they might see were “on purpose.”

“For us, I want to say to all the chair experts out there, you need to give us some breathing room. If you see spin outs or anything that looks like a stable, that’s on purpose!”

Finally, he expressed his respect for the real F1 drivers he worked with during filming.

“As a civilian, I had no idea what it was like to be a driver and what aggressiveness and skill it entailed,” he concluded. “They are great athletes. I have a lot of respect for everyone out there in all classes.”
