“Their whole garage is set up like most other tea𒐪ms’.

Tedꦉ Kravitz addeꦅd: “Everyone here is an extra in a movie set.

“APXGP is the name of the team. They’ve got their own barriers. Sonny Hayes is running Kಌimi Raikkonen’s #7 - that is Brad Pitt, of course.

“His teammate in the fictional as-yet-untitled film is Damson Idris, he’s running Mar♑cus 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 Mer🌳cedes. To make it look like the current regulation rear wings…”

The film, which ha🌠s no title yet, 🥂will be released by Apple TV.

Lewis Hamilton is involved as a co-producer.
