F1 boss thinks Brad Pitt movie will have huge effect on the sport

Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali believes the new Brad Pitt movie will have a Netflix Drive to Survive effect and help to take the series to “another dimension”.

The F1 has given its support to the production by giving unprecedented access, even allowing it take over a pit garage and be a part of the British Grand Prix weekend.

The production also had a major presence in the paddock, with a hospitality unit and truck.

“I think that was just amazing to see the reaction of all the F1 community because that was the first time that really you see what has been done,” Domenicali said.

“The quality of the production is really high. It’s been a really good standard. What was important for us was to keep separate the live and the actual racing, because that’s untouchable, with the movie preparation that has been done with the different cuts or angles of cameras, and so on.

“Also the drivers were very, very happy, and the teams were appreciating what we’re doing.”
