Pitt has been working on the delayed project for quite some time now, with the budget for the flick said to have exceeded $300 million.

The film has been directed by Joseph Kosinski, whilst Pitt himself, Jerry Bruckheimer, and none other than Lewis Hamilton have helped produce the flick.

Naturally, Pitt is set to play the starring role in the film, playing a former F1 driver - Sonny Hayes - who is lured back into the sport to drive for a fictional 11th team on the grid known as 'APX GP'.

Alongside Pitt, Damson Idris is also set to play a prominent role in the movie as rookie driver Joshua Pearce, whilst the likes of Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and Tobias Menzes, among others, also feature.

After a social media post revealed the name of the film on Friday to be 'F1', spectators both at the track and at home were treated to a short trailer prior to Sunday's race action at Silverstone

The one-minute and 45-second trailer showcased footage from both inside the paddock and at real circuits such as Silverstone, Monza, and Spa, where some of the filming for the movie has taken place.
