Seven races on the Formula 1 calendar have been tabbed to host the film crew for Brad Pitt's upcoming Lewis Hamilton-produced movie, including the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Three grands prix - the British, Belgian and Hungarian - will host 'large scale' filming, while smaller shoots are planned for at least four other tracks.

As many as 400 people will be working behind the scenes at the big three shoots, with many set to work from off-site facilities.
