Lewis Hamilton has been hired as a consultant to help Brad Pitt in a new Formula 1 film.
Apple studios confirmed in June that it will make the, as yet untitled, film with Pitt in the leading role.

Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski was also confirmed as part of the project.
Seven-time F1 champion Hamilton had been confirmed as an executive producer, but will also have a bigger role.
The Sun report the 37-year-old has agreed to serve as a consultant on set in order to teach Pitt all he needs to know about motorsport.
A source told The Sun: "This is one of those films where everything just seems to be in the right place at the right time.
"F1 is obviously huge, but Brad is totally the right man for this role. Joseph couldn't be hotter at the moment thanks to the new Top Gun movie and Lewis is excited at the thought of a new experience.
"It's perfect. They're all so up for it."

Speaking ahead of the Baku Grand Prix last month, Hamilton spoke about the film but could not reveal too much about it.
"I can't really say too much about it because I don't think it's been properly announced," Hamilton said.
"But it's something we are working on in the background, a super exciting project, and a long time in the making.
"We are already working on the script, and I'm very much involved in the script, and spending good time with Brad (Pitt) which is pretty epic."
