Seasoned actor Pitt found driving for F1: The Movie as 'shocking'

When Buxton asked Pitt how he learned to drive an F2 car so late in life, Pitt quipped, "You have to ask some of the professionals if they'll call it driving.”

While some actual Formula 1 and 2 drivers may not see what he did as driving, both Pitt and Buxton consider it real racing.

Pitt said that he did not start racing with a car at first. He said, “I started up as a kid, dirt bikes and a little bit of a white trash bone, and back then we had three wheelers and quads and up on two wheels, and so it didn't feel that different other than I was just amazed."

Even though Pitt has done plenty of stunts in his career, he admitted, ”When you first experience downforce, like even in this, it's shocking. It took my breath away."

One piece of advice that Pitt was given was "They keep saying trust the car, so in my head I go trust the car and take it in, and it was just harrowing, you are just trying to keep your head [straight]."

He then added another thing was was shocking to him; the braking speed.
