4. Support from Real Racing Icons

Seven-time F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton offered his expertise during the production, ensuring

authenticity in racing scenes and technical accuracy, further boosting the film’s credibility.

Age in Formula 1: Realism vs Fiction

While Brad Pitt’s real-life age of 61 may seem unrealistic for a modern-day F1 driver — especially

compared to current active drivers like Fernando Alonso (nearly 44) — the sport has seen older

champions in its earlier decades.

Notable examples include:

Louis Chiron and Philippe Étancelin, who raced at 55

Luigi Fagioli, who won at 53

This historical context lends authenticity to the character and plot.
