Brad Pitt surprises fans with Mexican Grand Prix appearance as he films scenes for F1 movie

As a dedicated fan of Brad Pitt since his days in “Thelma & Louise,” I was utterly thrilled to see him living his dream as a Formula One driver! The man can do no wrong in my eyes, and this new role is just another testament to his versatility and passion for the art.


On Saturday, the surprise of many fans ensued as Brad Pitt made a public appearance at the Mexican Grand Prix held at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City.

The 60-year-old actor wore a white racer’s jumpsuit as he filmed scenes for his upcoming movie F1. 

Over a lengthy career, the former entertainer, who has been linked to his ex-wife Angelina Jolie potentially having a new love interest, was captured on camera brandishing a large Mexican flag while preparing for his role.

In an exhilarated frenzy, I couldn’t help but notice the transformation as Pitt unveiled her spiky, short brown tresses, a stark contrast from the protective pale blue helmet she had been wearing moments before. A hint of ruggedness graced her visage, a grizzled beard casting shadows that added to her allure.

During the July broadcast of the Formula 1 British Grand Prix, the initial teaser for the upcoming film was unveiled, with Brad and his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, present at the event.

Pitt’s action drama began production more than a year ago.

2023 saw the commencement of action in July, specifically at the Silverstone Circuit situated in the UK. During multiple Grand Prix competitions, the actor from Fight Club was spotted participating in races there.

The story centers around the character, retired Formula One driver Sonny Hayes (Brad), as he is inspired by a friend to rejoin the racing world, taking on a new role as a mentor.

Following the completion of Saturday’s qualifying races, a portion of the track was set aside for filming scenes, as reported by Hello.

Eventually, Brad emerged from his vehicle, took off his helmet, and enthusiastically greeted a crowd of cheering onlookers with a wave.

The movie is being led by director Joseph Kosinski, who is joined in the cast by actors such as Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, Damson Idris, Sarah Niles, and Tobias Menzies.

Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton produced the film alongside Pitt and Jerry Bruckheimer.

The creation of this product involved close partnerships with Formula 1, its entire community including all 10 racing teams, their drivers, the FIA, and promoters, collectively ensuring an accurate portrayal of the narrative.

apple purchased F1 for approximately $130 million to $140 million, with the compensation for the main cast, director, screenwriter, and producers not included in that amount, as reported by Deadline.

The film was shot at different Formula One races, specifically in Hungary, Belgium, and Las Vegas.

Filming is expected to continue into December when the Abu Dhabi race takes place.

Some viewers found the film’s title underwhelming upon announcement. Expressing their feelings on social media, one individual commented: “Such an unexciting and unoriginal title.

Another said dryly: ‘Must have taken them ages to come up with that.’
