Brad Pitt's movie about Formula 1, coming to cinemas next year will simply be called 'F1'.

Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton is a co-producer of the project, which has been collecting footage at Formula 1 circuits around the world for the last two seasons.

Footage was taken at Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix, and at the Hungaroring near Budapest; as well as the historic Spa Francorchamps in Belgium; Japan's popular Suzuka track; and Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina circuit.

Pitt was at Silverstone on Friday and walked through the paddock area.

In the film, the 60-year-old American plays a former driver who returns to Formula 1 alongside a rookie teammate, who is played by London-born actor Damson Idris. Their fictional team is called APXGP.

The film , directed by Joseph Kosinski of "Top Gun: Maverick" fame, will be released next June.
