The Hollywood𒐪 superstar was the 21st driver in a pre-race starting grid at Silverstone, as part of his upcoming Formula 1 movie.
Lewis Hamilton is a co-producer of the🅘 movie which doesn’t have a title yet.
Pitt, 59, whose character is called Sonny Hayes, has been behind the wheel of his APXGP - which is, in reality, an F2 car modified by🌄 Mercedes to look like a modern F1 car.
No footage of Pitt🉐 in his APXGP car was broadcast via Sky Sports or Channel 4, to keep a degr🎶ee of secrecy for the movie.
Pitt's car is an F2 machin𝄹e which Mercedes helped to resemble a modern Formula 1 car.
The actor has driven it on the Silverstone t𒁃rack over the British Grand Prix weekend, using the live crowd as extras in the movie.
James was a sports journalist at Sky Sports for a decade covering everything from American spo♌rts, to football, to F1.
