WATCH: Brad Pitt's Formula 1 Team Sucks At Pit Stops

While we still don't know the film's name, the fictional team's name has since been unveiled as APXGP. The production kept this secret until theteam debuted at the Silverstone Grand Prixearlier this year. APXGP was actually part of the formation lap that weekend but was kept well out of view of the live TV feed. Expect them to pop up at the eight upcoming races, too.

Lewis Hamilton is a named producer, so we know two things for certain: the movie will be an accurate depiction of Formula 1, and there will almost certainly be a Dutch antagonist. All of the sponsors on the Mercedes-built APXGP cars are real, meaning a hefty part of the movie's budget comes directly from product placement deals. As such, expect to see Merc's entire range of cars carefully placed throughout the film. Pitt's more experienced character, Sonny Hayes, will likely drive the newMercedes-AMG GT, while Idris' rookie Joshua Pearce will get aMercedes-AMG E-Scooteras a company car.

In all seriousness, we hope the director (Joseph Kosinski, who made the sublimeTop Gun: Maverick) includes a proper slow-motion sequence of a real-life Formula 1 pit stop. It's only possible to see everything clearly during a Formula 1 broadcast if you look at Scuderia Ferrari's slow stops, but for everyone else, it's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it affair. (Sorry, Carlos and Charles. The joke was right there.)

The current pit stop record belongs to Red Bull, who serviced Max Verstappen's car in just 1.82 seconds at the Brazilian Grand Prix. The fastest pit stop for the 2023 season also belongs to Red Bull, who serviced Sergio Perez's car in 1.98 seconds at theHungarian Grand Prix. That's the same race Ferrari took nine seconds to service a car.

You can see Red Bull's world record pit stop in slow motion below, but we want to see it from multiple angles. Maybe Pitt's film might help us live out that reality.
