Brad Pitt’s super-cool F1 movie is being filmed at an actual race, and it looks so realistic

If you see an 11th team on the grid at Formula 1’s stop at Silverstone this weekend, it’s not a mistake.

That team would be known as APXGP, and it’s fictional. Because it’s part of the movie that Brad Pitt and Damson Idris are filming in England at this weekend’s F1 race.

Pitt apparently plays Sonny Hayes, a driver coming out of retirement to help young Joshua Pearce (Idris). Drive to Survive fans are going to love this.

The photos and videos from the weekend have already begun dropping, so let’s show you what we’ve seen so far from the track:

The APXGP car being used in the F1 film looks better than some of the actual cars on the grid 🥶
