Simone Ashley On Shooting ‘F1’ Alongside Real Grand Prix Races: “One Of The Craziest Things I Think I’ve Ever Been Part Of”
Simone Ashley previewed her adrenaline-filled experience shooting 'F1,' the high-octane racing drama from 'Top Gun: Maverick' helmer Joseph Kosinski.
Speaking to Who What Wear for a cover story, the Bridgerton actress, who will appear opposite Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem and others in the Brad Pitt vehicle, said the rush came from filming and touring alongside real Grand Prix races for limited minutes at a time. “Obviously, with the strikes and delays, we finally wrapped in Abu Dhabi in December,” she said of the project, due in theaters June 27. Apple TV+ recently released a trailer for the action-packed flick, which features Pitt as has-been (bordering on never-was) racer Sonny Hayes, who aims to stage a comeback after his promising career was derailed by a track accident, finding that his biggest competition may be his young, irreverent upstart teammate Joshua Pearce (Idris).
