Brad Pitt Films Scenes at Mexican Grand Prix

Brad Pitt made a surprise appearance at the Mexican Grand Prix, where he filmed scenes for his upcoming movie 'F1', portraying retired driver Sonny Hayes who returns to mentor a young racer. Dressed in a white racing jumpsuit, Pitt celebrated with fans by waving a large Mexican flag after finishing a scene at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. The film, co-produced by Lewis Hamilton and directed by Joseph Kosinski, has been in production since July 2023 and aims to authentically represent the sport with contributions from all ten F1 teams. It will explore themes of redemption and mentorship as Hayes navigates a comeback after a career-ending crash in the 1990s. Scheduled for release on June 25, 2025, the film has generated significant excitement among F1 fans, particularly with hints of spoilers from the filming events. This venture represents a strategic move for F1 to expand its reach in American markets, building on the success of the 'Drive to Survive' series.
