Idris took Silverstone's Copse 'flat out' during prep for 'F1'

Stars Damson Idris and Kerry Condon have detailed their immersive preparations for the upcoming F1 movie, set for international release on June 25. Idris, playing rookie Joshua Pearce, underwent intense on-track training, remarkably taking Silverstone's Copse Corner flat-out in an F2 car, witnessed by Lewis Hamilton. He drew parallels between his character's ambition and young football sensation Lamine Yamal. Meanwhile, Kerry Condon, portraying race director Kate, meticulously studied real F1 strategists like Bernie Collins and Ruth Buscombe, read Adrian Newey's book, and gained unparalleled access to the paddock. The film uniquely captured scenes during actual Grand Prix events, promising an authentic F1 experience for viewers.
