The actor, 59, sported a racing suit and walked the grid with real-life Formula 1 (F1) drivers to film his new movie at the British Grand Prix on Sunday.

Together with his costar Damson Idris, Pitt, who has been cast as a veteran F1 driver in the film, wore a white and black racing suit with the logo for their fictional team APXGP.

“Welcome to the grid, APXGP 👀#F1,” the official Instagram account for Formula 1 wrote alongside a series of snapshots of the fictional team on the grid — with Pitt and Idris, 31, standing alongside drivers including current F1 world champion Max Verstappen and Ferarri’s Carlos Sainz.

Pitt was also filmed driving on the track for the movie and admitted he was feeling a “little giddy” after the adrenaline-filled drive in front of 140,000 race fans at the Silverstone race track in Northamptonshire, around 70 miles north of London.

“I’ve got to say it’s just great to be here,” Pitt told Sky Sports F1 presenter Martin Brundle after his turn in a modified Formula 2 car. “We’re just having such a laugh, such a laugh, time of my life.”

Pitt then went on to open up about the premise of the movie. “I would be a guy who raced in the 90s,” he said. “He has a horrible crash and kind of craps out and disappears and then is racing in other disciplines.”
The Big Short star also revealed that he’d never driven a racing car on a track before and had only driven bikes. “I’ve spent the last 20 years on bikes on tracks, so that helped a lot,” he said, adding that it was “really humbling” to have some of the drivers showing him the way on the track.
