Rumor: Liberty Media to invest in Brad Pitt F1 movie

A rumor in the Austin paddock centered around the upcoming Brad Pitt F1 movie.

We hear that Pitt met with Liberty Media boss Greg Maffei and is looking for them to invest in his F1 movie, in exchange for a cut of the profits.

Given that Liberty Media invested in the Drive To Survive Netflix series that has propelled F1 to new heights by open up the sport to a much younger fan base, it makes sense that they would also invest in Pitt’s F1 movie because if the movie is successful, it will propel F1 to new heights.
