Although nearly half the age of his mega-famous 'F1' costar Brad Pitt, actor Damson Idris held his own, thanks in part to his mother's advice.

Javier Bardem, who plays Ruben Cervantes, points out Idris and Pitt likely felt more pressure filming during the live races in front of hundreds of thousands of people. But he says the crew’s “work” wasn’t lost on him.

Sir Lewis Hamilton actually served as a co-producer on F1, and the seven-time Formula One champion recently revealed that he “loved” working on the movie. Hamilton’s involvement brought authentic racing expertise to the production, ensuring technical accuracy throughout the film.
