The Hollywood superstar w💜as the 21st driver in a pre-rac♏e starting grid at Silverstone, as part of his upcoming Formula 1 movie.
Lewis Ham☂ilton is a co-producer of 🌊the movie which doesn’t have a title yet.
Pitt, 59, whose character is called Sonny Hayes, has been behind the wheel of his APXGP - which is, in reality, an F2 car modified by Mercedes to look like a moder♈n F1 car.
No footage of Pitt in his APXGP car was br🐻oadcast via Sky Sports or Channel 4, to keep a degree of secr🥂ecy for the movie.
Pitt's car is an F2 machine which Mercedes helped to resemble a modern Fo🍨rmula 1 car.
The actor has driven it on the Silverstone track over the British Grand Prix weekend, using the liv꧋e crowd as extras in the movie.
James was a sports journalist at Sky Sports for a decade covering everything from American sporꦛts, to football, to F1.
