Lewis Hamilton proposed an idea to the FIA regarding setting up a specific date to start Next Year’s car development. Max Verstappen tore that idea to shreds by saying “Life Is Unfair”. Now Brad Pitt has crushed Max Verstappen’s scathing accusations to bits by implying Lewis Hamilton’s strict instructions. What were the instructions?
Brad Pitt and the crew of the new F1-themed movie produced by Lewis Hamilton were spotted at the British GP. Some racing scenes for the movie were shot during the race weekend. Everyone is very excited about the movie. However, Max Verstappen is on the other spectrum regarding this thought. When he was asked about the film being shot at Silverstone he said, “I completely can’t be bothered with this.” Further explaining how it’s just a movie that’ll have drama and everything won’t be real.

Nonetheless, Brad Pitt’s comments have crushed these accusations by Verstappen to bits. Last year at the US GP, Brad Pitt ignored Martin Brundle on the grid. This time around, the Hollywood star gave a special interview to the Voice of F1. When Brundle asked about how authentic the movie is going to be compared to real F1, Brad Pitt said, “Lewis, who’s also our producer, is really, really intent that we respect the sport, that we really show it for what it is.”
Lewis Hamilton had already explained that he wanted to reflect the reality of F1 into the movie and now Brad Pitt has backed his comments. We can truly only know about it once the movie is premiered. Nonetheless, the signs look promising as the racing scenes were actually shot during a race weekend.

Brad Pitt was spotted in the paddock and on the Grid multiple times during the weekend. Along with him, his co-star, Damson Idris, was also present. Scenes for the movie were shot between the session and on the formation lap. Mercedes developed a special F2-derived F1 car for the movie that was run by the actor to shoot the scenes.
However, what was surprising was that the Hollywood stars also took part in the Nation Anthem Ceremony and were seen standing next to Max Verstappen. From the photos that have been uploaded on social media, it’s understood that there might be a chance that some other drivers are spotted in the movie.
