Pitt has been working on the movie 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'.

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

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.
