Hamilton said missing out a role in Top Gun: Maverick “broke my heart”.

But he will still go from Silverstone to the silver screen – and with the same director, Joseph Kosinski, as in Tom Cruise’s 2022 Top Gun sequel.

Hollywood great Pitt, 58, plays a veteran driver who comes out of retirement to mentor a young prodigy.

Established actors like James Bond villain Javier Bardem, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies and Sarah Niles are also in the cast.
