The upcoming Formula 1 movie, starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris and involving seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, has recently undergone a change in its filming schedule. Initially, the team planned to shoot some of its most thrilling scenes at the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix. However, the recent conclusion of the actors’ strike has led to a temporary halt in these plans, pushing the filming to a later date.

Hamilton, taking an active role in the production, shared his insights on the situation.

“Brad and Damson back in training getting ready to get back in the car,” he stated. “We were supposed to be filming this weekend. If there wasn’t a strike we would have been filming one of the really cool scenes here this weekend.”

The film, which is yet to receive an official title, has been making significant progress, with the crew already visiting various 2023 races, including the British Grand Prix at the Silverstone Circuit. Despite the recent hurdle, the production team remains committed to continuing the filming next year.

Hamilton added:

“We will continue on filming in next year so you’ll see them around more. We’ve already got great footage with the demo drivers who have done a great job, as the drivers got to see in Austin.”

“We’ll keep pushing along, it’s still going to be great, might cost a little bit more but I am really confident in what Jerry is going to produce,” he concluded, showing confidence in the project’s future.
