While Mercedes’ investment in the W14 does not seem to be paying off, its star driver’s $140,000,000 project seems to be off to a flyer. The F1 authorities gave green light to special permission with regard to the multi-million dollar project. Brad Pitt is set to create a historic moment for the F1 community as he puts his race suit on. The surreal moment will be created on the oldest and most iconic F1 circuit. Have you guessed what track it is? Regardless of your answer, let’s dive deeper into the story.

Lewis Hamilton’s dream to work with Tom Cruise in the Top Gun franchise could not be fulfilled. The 7X world champion was offered the role of a pilot by Tom Cruise, but Hamilton was entangled in a title fight and passed the opportunity. However, Lewis Hamilton’s production company, Dawn Apollo, is now producing a new F1 theme-based movie starring Brad Pitt set to release next year. The Briton did not get a chance to fly with Tom Cruise but will be getting a chance to drive alongside Brad Pitt.

The Hollywood star got special permission to set up on the grid of the 2023 British GP and drive the parade lap alongside the whole F1 Grid. The said scene is set to take place to ensure that the scenes and movie are as realistic as possible. While the scene may sound risky and may have negative consequences, an insider suggested that watching Brad Pitt driving around the iconic track with the whole grid would be an amazing spectacle for the viewers.

According to thesun.co.uk, talking about the movie scene, a movie insider said, “Watching Brad Pitt leading the field in the British Grand Prix will be an incredible and surreal moment for TV viewers and fans at Silverstone this July.”

Lewis Hamilton, while talking about the project and working with Brad Pitt, said, “It’s a cool project . . . [and] spending good time with Brad is pretty epic.”

The movie is about a veteran driver who makes a comeback in F1. While the details or the whole cast of the movie isn’t out yet, rumors suggest that Brad Pitt will be playing Lewis Hamilton’s teammate. While the teammate situation on the big screen looks great for Hamilton, it’s the complete opposite when we talk about F1. Former F1 team owner recently praised George Russell as he outperforms Lewis.

In light of George Russell outperforming Lewis Hamilton last season and outscoring him by 35 points, Eddie Jordan hailed Toto Wolff’s decision to sign Russell over other drivers. Despite requesting, Toto Wolff did not listen to the 7X champion and let Valtteri Bottas go. Jordan suggests how the 25-year-old surprised him. He concluded by suggesting that Russell is the right fit for Mercedes as he’s a genius.

According to F1Maximaal.com, Eddie Jordan said, “George Russell pleasantly surprised me. I never thought he could do what he’s doing now, I didn’t think there was enough in him. When he was with Williams, I saw he was good but cunning, old Toto (Wolff, ed.) took him straight to Mercedes and chose him over other drivers. He brought in the right person because George is a genius.”
