Ted Kravitz added: “Everyone here is an extra in a movie se♛t.

“APXGP is th⛦e name of the team. They’ve got their own barrie💖rs. Sonny Hayes is running Kimi Raikkonen’s #7 - that is Brad Pitt, of course.

“His teammate in the fictional a☂s-yet-untitled film is Damson Idris, he’s running Marcus Ericsson’s #9.”

Chandhok said about the car that Pitt will drive: “The car is a GP2 chassis but they have been modified to look like F1 cars, with help from Mercedes. T🦄o make it look like the current regulation rear wings…”
