Brad Pitt wears bucket hat & shades as he attends British Grand Prix qualifying while filming F1 movie
HOLLYWOOD star Brad Pitt stops off to enjoy the spectacle of the British Grand Prix qualifying.
The US actor, 60, wore shades and a bucket hat in the rain at Silverstone yesterday, where he has been filming an F1 movie.
British driver George Russell, 26, who arrived in an England footie shirt with his Spanish girlfriend Carmen Montero Mundt, took pole in his Mercedes for today’s race.
Formula 1 fans should keep an eye out for two very special appearances in Brad Pitt's new racing film Apex.
Legendary telly commentators Martin Brundle and David Croft will make cameos.
Apex follows Brad as F1 veteran Sonny Hayes, who returns to race for one final time while mentoring rookie driver, Pearce, played by Damson Idris.
Lewis Hamilton has been brought in as a consultant.
A source said: “Brad has gone all out to make Apex the most realistic F1 film ever made and he wanted some of the UK’s most iconic racing voices to help bring it to life.
"Martin and Crofty both signed up for cameos and have filmed their scenes.
"Crofty’s trademark catch- phrase, ‘It’s lights out and away we go’, will feature too. They jumped at the chance to get involved.”
