Brad Pitt’s Formula 1 movie will be released next June, the sport’s bosses have confirmed.<\/p>\n
Filming for the movie, the name of which has yet to be revealed, was delayed amid the US actors’ and writers’ strike.<\/p>\n
But F1 said the film, co-produced by seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and extensively shot at the Silverstone Circuit, will be released on 25 June next year.<\/p>\n
Pitt, 60, will play the role of a veteran driver, Sonny Hayes, who is returning to the F1 grid after a long absence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Pitt raced an adapted Formula Two car between practice sessions at the British Grand Prix at the Northamptonshire circuit last July.<\/p>\n
Alongside his fictional rookie team-mate Joshua Pierce, played by British actor Damson Idris, Pitt lined up with the sport’s 20 drivers prior to the race.<\/p>\n
Oscar-winner Javier Bardem, who plays the team principal, was also filming on the grid with Pitt last year.<\/p>\n
A garage was also set up in the paddock for the “11th team”, called APX GP.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It is understood that Pitt has been filming at Silverstone in recent weeks, and further scenes are expected to be shot at next month’s race and throughout the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n
Hamilton has been heavily involved in the script to make the film as authentic as possible.<\/p>\n
“We want everyone to love it and to really feel that we encapsulate what the essence of this sport is all about,” said Hamilton last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Apple has bought the rights to the movie with a budget said to be in the region of $140m (\u00a3125m).<\/p>\n
Joseph Kosinski, the man behind Top Gun: Maverick, is directing the film, while Jerry Bruckheimer, who also worked on the Tom Cruise blockbuster, is listed as a producer.<\/p>\n
In a statement, F1 said: “The movie is a landmark for the sport and cinema, filmed in real-time during Grands Prix around the world and involving the Formula One community, including all 10 teams, the drivers, the FIA and race promoters.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
