Formula 1 has gained massive traction in viewership in recent years, courtesy of Liberty Media’s efforts. The Formula 1 film produced by Lewis Hamilton that features Brad Pitt as a lead actor was being shot throughout the 2024 season. Hence, following the culmination of the film’s shooting, Pitt opened up regarding his feelings.
Brad Pitt was present at the majority of the Grand Prix locations, racing for the ‘APXGP’ team for the film. The season finale in Abu Dhabi was also the final race in the upcoming Formula 1 film. The American actor wasn’t too happy with wrapping up the shooting of the movie. Pitt reckoned that he had the time of his life during the filming process. The 60-year-old wished the filming process could go on for another year.
I’ve been having the time of my life. I wish it could go on another year. I might shed a tear. You might see a grown man cry.
Brad Pitt told Sky Sports
Apart from the imaginary scenes in the film, Pitt also experienced just how intense Formula 1 is at times. As a result, the American actor started to hold more respect for all the drivers at the pinnacle of motorsport. The 60-year-old labeled that the potential of the drivers and the car in the sport were ‘off the charts.’
I’ve got so much respect for these guys. What these drivers and cars can do. It’s off the charts.

Brad Pitt revealed the secret to making Formula 1 the ‘best racing movie’
The film titled Formula 1 went with a generic name for the movie to make it more realistic and original. Moreover, the film will contain super realistic scenes including cars as the filming crew was present during live races. Brad Pitt revealed another secret that will make the movie the best of the rest. Pitt recalled that the director advised the actors to put the car in the bed and themselves on the weekend to make the best movie. Pitt was confident that the crew had already achieved this goal before the final release.
It’s really good fun. Our director said put actors in the car and bed ourselves in the weekend and make the best racing movie. I dare say we have done it.
Brad Pitt noted
The winter break is upon the sport as the teams and drivers look for a great time off for themselves. The fans are usually bored over the break due to the lack of racing in the sport. As a result, the release of this film alongside the Netflix Docuseries Drive To Survive will be a great way to pass the time over the break.
