Hollywood icon Bra✃d Pitt has admitted to ignoring the advice of a professional F2 driver while film♚ing scenes for his upcoming Formula 1 move.

Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes in Joseph Kosinski’s much-anticipated F1 film, playing a veteraไn driver who returns to the sport to mentor young talent Joshua Pearce, portrayed by Damson Idris.

In preparation for the role, Pitt and Idris drove a specially modified Formula 2 car at real circuits during live rꦜace weekends. Pitt underwent extensive training to cope with the physical demands of single-seater racing, inc𒅌luding high g-forces.

He w🐽as guided on set by 2012 FIA F2 champion Luciano Bacheta who also served as his stunt ❀double.

During training🐻, Bacheta used to warn Pitt about his speed, but the 61-year-old ⛦would reply: ‘Yep, I am ignoring your speed-limit warning.’

“I became quite impassioned, needlessly,” he told GQ. “It was actually qui🃏te comical in the end. And then when they fina🤡lly lifted it and just trusted us and let us be, everything was lovely.”

Pitt argued that driving too slowly was actually more dangerous, as the tyres would lose temperature and the car♏ won’t be producing the necessary downforce to tackle corners.

“The idea of going down a freeway 180 miles an hour sounds completely reckless and dange♑rous—just absolutely not,” he said. “But these things, the more you pick up speed, that’s when everything starts working.”

Seven-time F1 champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton was heavily involved in the scriptwriting processܫ and also provided technical consultancy to ensure the racing scenes were as close to authentic as poꦇssible.

“The most interesting th🐽ing about Brad is that he’s alrea♋dy a bit of a racer at heart,” said Hamilton.

Prod🃏ucer Jeremy Kleiner added: “I think for Brad there’s probably a physiological component to the driving, a spiritual high.”

F1 will be released in theatres worldwide from 25 🐠June.
