Скачать или смотреть How Apple Secretly Filmed a Hollywood Movie in Real F1 Races

What if I told you the most cinematic F1 footage ever wasn’t shot with a Hollywood rig, but with a sensor from the iPhone 15 Pro? Apple’s top-secret project embedded custom camera tech into actual Formula One race cars. This isn’t CGI. This isn’t a commercial. It’s a legitimate movie production with director Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), real Grand Prix races, and yes, Brad Pitt.

The custom camera system had to survive brutal racing conditions: intense vibrations, extreme heat, and high G-forces. Built from iPhone components and disguised as a standard F1 camera housing, it allowed filmmakers to mount it in up to 15 locations on the car, from the nose to the cockpit and even the side pods. The footage was downloaded directly in the pit lane using an iPad, and controlled with precision down to exposure using ND filters and log color capture.

What’s even more fascinating is that this wasn’t a one-off prototype. It was deployed during real races, capturing Brad Pitt and Idris Elba driving modified F1 cars in front of live crowds. With collaboration from Mercedes engineers and even Lewis Hamilton himself, this project wasn’t just a tech flex. It’s a defining moment in how consumer-grade sensors can cross over into big-budget filmmaking. And it all happened using the tech in your pocket.
