A Hollywood star has described the home of the British Grand Prix as "hallowed ground" as a new film about Formula 1 is set to open in cinemas.
Brad Pitt made the comments about the Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire, where he shot scenes for F1: The Movie, due for release this week.
The production had a fully operational garage situated in a real F1 pit lane at the circuit during the 2023 and 2024 grands prix.
"We were on hallowed ground," Pitt said. "It was very humbling, stepping into a sport that is so revered and treated like religion. We just wanted to make sure we didn't get in anyone's way."
The 61-year-old plays fictional veteran driver Sonny Hayes, a former star returning to the grid after a long absence.
