The last time we had 11 teams on the grid 👀 When F1 The Movie filmed with us at Silverstone 🎬 #F1 #BritishGP https://

What happened: F1 has revisited the moment the F1 feature film was shot at Silverstone, when a fictional eleventh entry briefly joined the ten championship teams on track. The production filmed alongside real cars during a Grand Prix weekend, creating the illusion of an expanded grid.

Why it matters: The look-back lands as the paddock heads to Silverstone for the British Grand Prix, giving the earlier film tie-in fresh relevance. The eleven-team framing underlines how unusual a full extra outfit on the grid would be against the current ten-team field.

What to watch: Attention now turns to the British Grand Prix weekend at Silverstone, where the real ten-team grid takes to the same circuit.
