It is very likely that Formula 1 will be inspired by the Brad Pitt film for an interesting innovation.
Anyone who has been to any motorsport event will have noticed the teams manually pushing their cars back from the parc ferme to their pits, both during technical inspections and during the pit stop exercises that F1 usually take place on Thursday, media day. Here, the mechanics split into two groups, with one team simulating the entry by pushing the car while the other changes the wheels and nose. In the film, created by Brad Pitt, these scenes were filmed using a specially designed electric-assisted car. Pitt has now said that the teams envied them the idea and are now considering fitting an additional battery pack to be used exclusively during these pit stop exercises. This would reduce the need for human resources and, thanks to the faster arrival speed, the simulation would be more realistic.
An interesting consideration that could double the film crew's place in Formula 1 history / PITTstop :) /?
