Brad Pitt's journey in F1 did not end with the movie's wrap, or with its premiere this Monday in New York City. The Hollywood star has now driven an F1 car at the Circuit of the Americas.
For the F1 movie he and co-star Damson Idris drove a combined total of 6,000 miles. Not in an F1 car, but in a modified F2 car instead.
In an interview given to GQ the Hollywood icon shed light on how significant the role was for him and the depth to which the experience nurtured him.
