The Silverstone-filmed blockbuster is produced by Lewis Hamilton.
Filming for the movie, the name of which has yet to be revealed, was delayed amid the US actors' and writers' strike.
Pitt, 60, will play the role of a veteran driver, Sonny Hayes, who is returning to the F1 grid after a long absence.Pitt raced an adapted Formula Two car between practice sessions at the British Grand Prix at the Northamptonshire circuit last July. Oscar-winner Javier Bardem, who plays the team principal, was also filming on the grid with Pitt last year.It is understood that Pitt has been filming at Silverstone in recent weeks, and further scenes are expected to be shot at next month's race and throughout the remainder of the season."We want everyone to love it and to really feel that we encapsulate what the essence of this sport is all about," said Hamilton last year.
In a statement, F1 said: "The movie is a landmark for the sport and cinema, filmed in real-time during Grands Prix around the world and involving the Formula One community, including all 10 teams, the drivers, the FIA and race promoters."Prison dance has 'profound' impact on dads and daughters
