New details of Lewis Hamilton-produced F1 film emerge: "Apex will be 11th team"
The seven-time world champion is playing a crucial role in t🏅he development of a 🎃new F1 movie directed by Joseph Kosinski - the man behind Top Gun: Maverick which featured Tom Cruise.
The ident🦹ity of🍨 the new team that will feature in it has been revealed - Apex Racing.
Last month it was announced t♐hat Pitt would drive a Mercedes-designed F2-level car at the British Grand Prix later this year𝓀.
Real life foo⛄tage from the 10 F♉1 teams will also appear in the film.
“We have a few more details,” Kravitz said. “Lewis was talking about how great it was to watch Brad in action - how he’s going to approach the character. Brad Pitt is playing a retired racing driver who comes out of retirement to help a y🧔oung driver - Damson Idris - to championship success or whatever it is. That is the plot.
“T🧸he team is going to be called Apex Racing and it’s going to be in amongst all of the other teams. So all of the other teams - Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull will be playing themselve⛦s in the movie and it will be intercut with proper racing footage.
“The 11th team - Apex Racing - piloted by, I think, Damson Idris and Brad Pitt, is going to be amongst it all.♑ Good luck Joseph Kosinski, the director, to sort out all of that 💦continuity.
“I believe all of the othe✅r teams have said yes, absolutely happy for our names and intellectual property to be in the movie.
The technical director of Apex Racing, the team, is played by Kerry Condon - the Irish actress. Brilliantly, Oscar-nominated. She is pla༺ying James Allison which I like and Lewis was talking about this even though he wouldn’t confirm those actors I was talking about.
“He’s so proud and pleased we’ve got aꦐ diverse cast in there,ꦺ in the film and he’s so excited about it.”
