Apple’s new F1 movie is in the making with Brad Pitt starring in it. However, the recent situation at Hollywood has caused a chain reaction leading all the way up to the F1 paddock. A strike that has been led by the Screen Actors Guild over pay and residuals has affected the filming of a lot of movies with some starring major celebrities. However, the case with Brad has been a bit different here. 

Brad Pitt has shown his solidarity towards the actions of the SAG. Even though he might be absent, the filming of the movie will keep on continuing. Lewis Hamilton has joined the panel as a producer and will be providing his insights to make the movie as accurate as possible. Opportunities for the same are plenty as the track action and paddock footage can be obtained even without the main actors.

I’ve got so much respect for everyone out there in all classes. I’m going to be here till they kick me out. Because I’m loving it. I think it’s every guy’s dream,” He said.
