Brad Pitt's previously untitled Formula One film, co-produced by seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, will be called "F1," it was announced on Friday at the British Grand Prix.
After months of speculation, the title was confirmed by Formula One, and is due for release next year.
Pitt, 60, was at Silverstone on Friday where he is filming scenes for the movie using an adapted Formula Two car that he drives on track between sessions involving other racing series.
The long-awaited movie was delayed by the United States actors' and writers' strike last year.
Hamilton has been involved in the script creation to ensure authenticity.
The film is being directed by Joseph Kosinski, who made "Top Gun: Maverick."

Will he attach a kōreisha mark to the back of the car?
Patricia Yarrow
The Kōreisha mark is a statutory sign that is set up in the Road Traffic Law of Japan to indicate "aged person at the wheel".

I know. It was a joke aimed at a 60 year-old driving Formula One.

Also, attach means to join or fasten (something) to something else.

Yes, as in attach a kōreisha sticker to his car. What's your point?

So basically it's Stallone's Driven with probably better cinematography. It was already unrealistic to have a 54 y/o Stallone driving in F1 so Pitt doing it at 59 is beyond ridiculous. There hasn't been a driver in F1 in his 50s since 1963.
