The Hollywood superstar was the 21st driver in a pre-rac💫e starting grid at Silverstone, as part o𒈔f 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 ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚF1 car.
No footage of Pitt in his APXGP car was broadcast via Sky Sports or Channel 4, to keep a degree of secrecy for the mov🐭ie.
Pitt's car is an ꦡF2 machine which Mercedes helped to resemble a ꦜmodern Formula 1 car.
The actor has driven it on the Silverstone track over the British Grand Prix weekend, using the♔ live crowd as extras in the movie.
