Attention, spectacle lovers! The 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix not only crowned the best drivers of the year, but also transformed into a real crossover between speed and cinema. In a scene that left everyone speechless, Charles Leclerc, who had secured third place in the real race, returned to the podium... but this time for a completely different show! Alongside him, in the top spot, was none other than Brad Pitt, playing "Sonny Hayes", his character in a Formula 1 movie, while George Russell, of Mercedes, completed this peculiar trio in third place.
The atmosphere was so authentic that it felt like a real race finish. There were trophies, emotions running high and, of course, the classic champagne outburst that drenched the makeshift winners. Pitt, renowned for his magnetism on the big screen, did not miss the opportunity to get fully into his role, creating a stir among those present and stealing the spotlight from the motorsport world.
What is the relationship between Brad Pitt and Formula 1?
Brad Pitt's magnetism has been a key driving force in this Formula 1 season, but this time not as a mere spectator. The iconic actor has immersed himself in the world of racing as part of an as-yet-untitled film project that will see the light of day in 2025. The plot follows "Sonny Hayes", a veteran driver who returns to the circuit to guide a young star in search of one last chance to shine.
This ambitious film is backed by Apple Studios and has a luxury godfather: Lewis Hamilton, who serves as executive producer and technical advisor. His goal is clear: to capture the essence of Formula 1 with a level of realism that no feature film had achieved before. So much so, that Pitt and his team have filmed scenes in the midst of race weekends, using the cars and the real hustle and bustle of the crowd as part of the narrative.
A true movie ending to the Formula 1 season
Pitt's presence at the Grand Prix not only provoked applause and sighs, but also aroused the curiosity of those who are not regular fans of the sport. Drivers, teams and fans alike highlighted the innovative approach of this production, which mixes the adrenaline of speed with the glamour of Hollywood.
The result? A media explosion that not only promises to catapult the film to stardom, but also to attract new audiences to Formula 1. Because when racing and cinema forces, the show is guaranteed.
