Caption: Damson Idris praises Brad Pitt for making F1 movie 'better every step of the way’. In the upcoming racing drama, Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a former Formula One driver who is asked to come out of retirement to mentor hotshot rookie Joshua Pearce, played by Idris, for the APXGP team. During an appearance at Goodwood Motor Circuit in England on Saturday, the Snowfall actor reflected on "sparring" with the Hollywood star on set. ”Brad Pitt is just an amazing character, such a kind spirit. He taught me about humility, no matter how huge you get, and as an artist, he's just one of our finest.” "A lot of people - well everyone really - is going to be really proud of him in this movie. He was such a great leader. He made the movie better every step of the way and he was a great sparring partner for me.” The British star, who performs much of his own driving in the movie, was asked who would win in a race between him and the Oscar-winning actor and he confidently declared himself the winner. ”Oh, definitely me, hands-down. I'll beat Brad any second. He ain't got nothing on me. He’s good on the clutch though, but apart from that, nah, he's not beating me.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
