Action filming for the new, untitled Apple Studios film will take place at Silverstone during the 2023 British Grand Prix on July 9th. The car will include a small movable 6K camera so viewers can see Brad Pitt driving the race car.

Initially, ESPN announced that Pitt would be behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car (racing car). At the same time, he will supposedly ride on the track with other racers. This news alarmed the fans because Pitt is not a professional racer. Users began to actively write in social networks that Pitt himself and other riders could suffer. However, the information was later denied.

Variety clarifies that Brad Pitt is actually driving a modified version of Formula 2 or Formula 3. These are slower and safer cars. There will be no other riders on the track. Filming will take place between sessions.
