And, just like the real-world teams, Pitt’s fictional APX GP team has some new sponsorship news to announce, in the form of a partnership with Swiss watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen.

Watches to feature in the film, which doesn’t yet have a name, include the IWC Big Pilot’s Watch 43 in stainless steel with a black dial, the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Top Gun in black, and the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41, also in steel with a black dial.

Motorsports fans learnt long ago not to get too excited at the prospect of their favourite sport appearing on the big screen. The history of the racing movie genre is littered with missed opportunities, lackluster scripts and far too many dramatic gear changes to truly impress hardcore fans of the real-world sport. But we’re an optimistic bunch, and hopes are still high that with Apple’s budget, Hamilton’s vast experience and Pitt’s star value, the upcoming film will be a success.

We’re pleased to see it being filmed at real F1 events, for starters. A pair of APX GP cars lined up at the back of the grid ahead of the 2023 British Grand Prix (since the script casts the APX duo as backmarkers) and shots of the real-world event were captured to add authenticity to director Joseph Kosinski’s vision. That’s the same Kosinski who was responsible forTop Gun: MaverickandTron: Legacy.
