Pitt’s action drama began production more than a year ago.
It began in July 2023 at the Silverstone circuit in the United Kingdom, where the Fight Club star was seen racing during several Grand Prix events.
The film follows retired Formula One driver Sonny Hayes (Brad), who returns to the sport when a friend encourages him to become a mentor.
After Saturday’s qualifying races ended, an area of the track was dedicated to filming scenes, according to an account from Hello.
In the end, Brad got out of his car, took off his helmet, and then waved to a crowd of cheering spectators.
Joseph Kosinski directs the film, which also stars Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, Damson Idris, Sarah Niles and Tobias Menzies.
Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton produced the film alongside Pitt and Jerry Bruckheimer.
It was made in collaboration with Formula 1 and the F1 community, with all 10 F1 teams, their drivers, the FIA and race promoters contributing to the authenticity of the story.
