With Kosinski at the helm, the film was shot during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competes against the titans of the sport. Pitt previously revealed the tone of the film, “The vibe is amazing, to get to be part of it and tell our story. The teams have opened their doors to us.” Further elaborating, “I play a guy who raced in the 1990s who has a horrible crash and disappears, to race in other disciplines. His friend, played by Javier Bardem, the team owner, contacts him. They’re last in the grid, they haven’t scored a point. But they have a young phenom, played by Damson Idris, and they bring me in as kind of a hail mary. You’ve never seen speed, you’ve never seen the G-forces like this, the footage is really, really exciting.”

Along with Pitt and Idris, the star-studded cast also includes Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia and Samson Kayo. The feature also has Formula One racing icon Lewis Hamilton on board as a consultant. Kosinski also co-wrote the screenplay with Ehren Kruger, who was Oscar-nominated with Kosinski for their screenplay on Maverick. Kosinski also produces the feature alongside Top Gun collaborator Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman of Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner for Plan B Entertainment, and Hamilton under his Dawn Apollo Films banner.
