“Top Gun: Maverick” filmmaker Joseph Kosinski came to Formula One like many Americans : “Drive to Survive” Kosinski saw potential for a cinematic event, full of immersive thrills.

Getting F1 on board Hollywood was a little easier to convince to make the film than the league.

Kosinski : "There’s no way the film could have happened or look like it does without that partnership".

The film stars Brad Pitt as a fictional F1 driver named Sonny Hayes who was “the greatest who never was” Kosinski knew Pitt liked cars and wanted to star in the movie.

They had 15 camera mounts built into the cars and were able to run up to four at a time keeping the weight penalty to a minimum.

They built six cars, which they transported all around the world along with production.

The film, everyone has acknowledged, was enormously expensive.
