Forget pit stops—Brad Pitt just zoomed back into the Formula 1 scene like a Hollywood legend with a need for speed!
The ageless wonder (yes, 60 years old and still looking like a million-dollar pit crew) hit the track at the 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix on Saturday (October 26). But he wasn’t just there to sip margaritas and admire fast cars—oh no. Brad was in full-blown race suit mode, capturing new scenes for his much-anticipated F1 movie. Somewhere, a director probably whispered, “Action!” and Brad responded with, “Vroom-vroom, baby!”
Now here’s where things get spicy:
Brad was spotted leaping out of his race car, flashing a mix of fingers like he was inventing a whole new form of sign language. Two fingers? Peace sign. Three fingers? Maybe it’s Brad’s way of saying, “I’m three times cooler than you thought.” Or maybe he was just re-enacting his own secret handshake with Lady Luck.
And then—brace yourself for the real plot twist—he started waving the Mexico flag like he just won the taco-eating championship. And if that wasn’t enough charm for one afternoon, the man was BLOWING KISSES to the crowd. Yes, Brad Pitt served Formula 1 with a side of flirt. Someone get that crowd a defibrillator.
Sunday wasn’t any less fabulous. Our guy Brad was up in the stands during the big race, snapping pics and recording videos like your tech-savvy uncle at Thanksgiving—if your uncle also happened to look like a Greek god in a racing jumpsuit.
This marks Brad’s grand return to filming after his pit stop (pun absolutely intended) at the Belgium Grand Prix in July. Fans went wild back then when the first teaser trailer dropped, revealing that Simone Ashley joined the cast. (Yes, THAT Simone Ashley! The Bridgerton star, racing through genres now.)
In the film, Brad plays Sonny Hayes, a retired Formula 1 driver who’s dusting off his racing gloves for one more adrenaline-fueled lap around the block. But there’s a catch—he’s not just racing for glory. He’s also mentoring rookie Joshua Pearce, played by Damson Idris, on APXGP, a totally made-up but ridiculously cool “11th team” on the F1 grid.
So, is Brad Pitt technically now the coolest retired race car driver in the multiverse? Probably. Should Formula 1 just hand him a championship trophy for showing up? Absolutely. One thing’s for sure: when Brad’s around, the checkered flag isn’t the only thing waving—hearts, too, are fluttering.
