Motorsport star Colton Herta has taken a playful swipe at Brad Pitt on social media as the Hollywood heartthrob prepares to take to the track at the British Formula One Grand Prix. Pitt, 59, will drive a race car at Silverstone from July 7 as he continues filming an F1 movie – and the irony of being beaten to getting a grand prix drive by an unqualified actor didn’t go unnoticed by Herta. News of the movie star being permitted to race on the track during the Grand Prix lit up social media – and it didn’t paint Pitt in a positive light. It has since been confirmed Pitt will film on-site at the British Grand Prix in July – between the main F1 sessions.
