In the round-up: Fernando Alonso filmed a scene for the upcoming Formula 1 movie after the British Grand Prix.
In brief
Alonso films scene for F1 movie
A filming crew for the movie, titled F1, was present in the media pen after the British Grand Prix and captured a scene involving Alonso. The Aston Martin driver said he didn’t have to rehearse beforehand.
“I didn’t practice,” said Alonso. “It was it was not too difficult so I hope it comes good on the screen.”
The scene was originally due to be filmed on Friday, he indicated. “After qualifying, I was in the pit lane, so when I came here, they were not ready. So it was today.”
Out of the current roster of drivers, 42-year-old Alonso is the closest in age to the film’s star Brad Pitt, 60, who plays an ex-driver who returns to the sport from retirement. The first trailer for the film was revealed last week.
