During the British Grand Prix, filming is under way for a new F1 film starring Brad Pitt. Many a racing driver likes it and Lewis Hamilton is even involved in the film as a producer, but two-time world champion Max Verstappen does not care that much.

During the drivers' briefing held on the Friday of the British GP weekend, it was explained to the drivers what role the fictional eleventh F1 team would play for the film, this race weekend at Silverstone. There is an eleventh pit box, an extra motorhome and the car will also take to the track during the weekend.

Verstappen not engaged with Brad Pitt

Pitt was also present at the briefing. Verstappen seems unimpressed with the film project this GP weekend. Speaking to the press, including GPblog, the Dutchman says: "I met him [Pitt] in Austin last year and very briefly on Friday during the drivers briefing. I think they are going to use some shots of everyone. But you know, I'm totally not being busy with that."

In line with his opinion on Netflix series Drive to Survive, Verstappen thinks the new film will be a lot more dramatic than reality. Verstappen once again concludes: "I think it's all fine. I'm not worrying about it."
