Brad was spotted making appearances at Northampton’s Silverstone circuit for the last couple of days where he is currently filming his upcoming Formula One-based movie.

On Friday, the Meet Joe Black sensation was clad in a helmet and racing suit as he prepared to hit the track for high-speed driving.

F1 chiefs are hoping the film – which will be released on June 25 next year – will follow the popularity of Netflix’s Drive to Survive series with a teaser is set to be released ahead of Sunday’s race

Brad plays the role of a veteran driver Sonny Hayes, who is returning to the F1 grid after a long absence.

Alongside his fictional rookie team-mate Joshua Pierce – played by British actor Damson Idris – the Fight Club star lined up with the sport’s 20 drivers prior to last year’s race at Silverstone and the two actors are due to be on the grid again ahead of Sunday’s event.

A garage has also been set up in the paddock at Silverstone for the ’11th team’, called APXGP.

Meanwhile multi-world champion Lewis has been heavily involved in the script to ensure the film is as authentic as possible.

Joseph Kosinski, the man behind Top Gun: Maverick, is directing the film, while Jerry Bruckheimer – who also worked on the Tom Cruise blockbuster – is listed as a producer.

This year’s event is about much more than just racing with the festival putting on a series of huge musical performances from the likes of Kings of Leon and Stormzy over the next four days to entertain guests.
