Brad Pitt relished an “extraordinary” experience of driving a Formula One car as F1: The Movie hit cinemas in the UK.The Hollywood star, who plays F1 driver Sonny Hayes in the blockbuster film, was recently given the chance to drive McLaren’s 2023 car around Austin’s Circuit of the Americas.

The similarities between Pitt’s F1 and Tom Cruise’s 1990 summer hit “Days of Thunder” are all over the track. Veteran Hollywood mogul Jerry Bruckheimer is a producer of both, and the movies are loaded with cameos from the prominent personalities of both leagues.
