A surprise F1 star celebrated victory at the Mexican Grand Prix on Sunday – before the race had even begun.

The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez hosts the 20th round of the 2024 Formula 1 season this weekend, with Ferrari continuing their resurgence in the constructors’ championship with Carlos Sainz snatching pole position for the race.

The film – the title of which was revealed as ‘F1’ earlier this year – has been produced by Joseph Kosinski and its production team includes none other than seven-time world champion and Mercedes superstar Lewis Hamilton.

Pitt and other stars of the movie have been seen at various grands prix throughout this and last season, including in Italy and Great Britain, capturing footage that will feature in the flick, with a trailer even released at Silverstone this year.
