CNN —Apple Original Films has unveiled details of Oscar winner Brad Pitt’s eagerly awaited Formula 1 feature film, as crews begin filming scenes with the actor at Silverstone, where Sunday’s British Grand Prix is being staged.
The movie is being made in collaboration with F1, and stars Pitt as a former driver returning to the sport with fictional team APXGP, alongside “Snowfall” actor Damson Idris as his teammate.
And what better place to film such a feature than Silverstone, famously the first circuit to ever host an F1 race in 1950.
The fictional team will even have its own pit-stop at the track, and filming is due to take place amid this weekend’s British Grand Prix.
The fictional team will even have a space on the grid at Silverstone.
