Brad Pitt again in Formula-1 pit - Boxengasse at the GP Hungary becomes a film set

Hollywood star Brad Pitt (60) has once again set foot in a boxing ring: For his new film, Pitt is filming at the Formula 1 track Hungaroring, northeast of Budapest, and was spotted in the driver's village.

Unlike usual, eleven Formula-1 teams are represented at the driver's village in Hungary, as reported by the "Daily Mail". However, "APX GP" is not a real Formula-1 team, but rather the fictional team from the upcoming "F1" motor racing film featuring Brad Pitt in the lead role.

Pitt and the film crew are allowed to move freely during the normal Formula-1 race operations for the shoot. Pitt even sits behind the wheel of a Formula-2 racing car modified for the film. Press representatives and members of other racing teams were asked to remain discreet to avoid disrupting the authentic filming.

Pitt's Formula-1 film to hit theaters in 2025

Early July saw Pitt in Silverstone, where he took his girlfriend Ines de Ramon (34) through the Formula-1 race pits in Britain.

The film, titled "F1," is set to hit theaters on June 25, 2025. Formula-1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton (39) is involved in the film production as a consultant. A teaser trailer for the film was released during the British Grand Prix about two weeks ago.

In "F1," Pitt plays the role of Sonny Hayes, an aging driver who returns to Formula 1. He mentors Damson Idris (32), who portrays an up-and-coming racing driver. Javier Bardem (55) plays the team owner.
