What's Brad Pitt doing on a real Formula 1 podium?
The iconic actor has immersed himself in the world of motor racing as part of an officially untitled film project scheduled for release in 2025.
The scene is astonishing, with drivers Charles Leclerc and George Russel on the podium at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and alongside them... actor Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem popping champagne.
This is one of the scenes in the film being shot by the American actor. The story follows “Sonny Hayes”, a veteran racer who returns to the circuits to guide a young hopeful in search of one last chance to shine.
The film has a luxury sponsor in Lewis Hamilton, who acts as executive producer and technical advisor. His objective is clear: to capture the essence of Formula 1 with a level of realism that no feature film has ever achieved before.
