Why "F1" movie actor Callie Cooke completed a real pitstop at the British GP:

— Callie Cooke, portraying pitcrew member Jodie in the F1 movie, shared insights into her audition process and executing a real pitstop at the 2024 British Grand Prix. Speaking to BBC Radio Northampton, Cooke described the experience as one of the best of her life.

“It was one of the best experiences of my life.”

— For her final audition, Cooke spent a day with Carlin Motorsport, engaging in tasks like oil and tyre changes. She believed her ability to adapt in such an environment helped secure her role.

“I spent the day there and I was changing the tyres and I was changing the oil, changing the wing of the car, and just seeing if I could exist in the world of a garage.”

— Growing up near Silverstone, Cooke felt her background contributed to her success in the male-dominated industry.

“I knew that if I was going to play a woman in this male-dominated industry, I was just going to have to hold my own and get stuck in, and I think maybe that's how I got the job.”

— Cooke shared her training journey on social media, highlighting her collaboration with former Sauber head of race strategy Ruth Buscombe.

“Learning the job for real was so special. My first time holding a wheel gun with our casting team Lucy Bevan & Emily Brockmann, the weeks spent training with Carlin Performance, and then months annoying the real teams and our experts with a million questions a day.”

— During the 2024 British Grand Prix weekend, Cooke participated in a real pitstop alongside the film crew, achieving speeds comparable to professional teams.

“We did a real pitstop in between Mercedes and Ferrari, and we did it as quick as the other teams. It was just mad.”

— Reflecting on her experience, Cooke expressed how special and real it felt, especially given her Northampton roots.

“It's just been the coolest thing.”

— The F1 movie, directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, was released internationally on XX June and in North America on XX June. It quickly became Apple's highest-grossing film, earning $XXX million globally within XX days.
