Major race scenes were filmed in the Formula One Circuit around the world including Silverstone in England.

“This was a real challenge because we were shooting during a live sporting event, so we were not in our own program. We were on Formula One schedule, which is very tight,” said Kosinski. “So, instead of having a few hours to shoot a scene, or days, I had only three minutes in some cases, which meant that the actors had one or two who used to take it to correct it.”

“This is my home turf,” he said. “And we all stood with Formula One Drivers; We met the national anthem – there was fireworks to end – and then we got to walk back to the scene that we were going to shoot that ‘We Will Rock You’ is playing. It’s Brad Pit. He is walking sexy. And I was also watching completely.
