As a lifelong auto racing enthusiast who has witnessed more than a fair share of heart-stopping moments, I must say that the latest twist in the world of F1 racing left me utterly bewildered and amused. Watching Brad Pitt’s stuntman collapse on the track during an actual race was an experience I won’t soon forget!
As a thrill-seeking auto racing enthusiast, I must admit that mishaps and injuries are an all too common part of the high-speed world we love. However, when spectators in Las Vegas witnessed an F1 driver crumple on the track this past weekend, it wasn’t a typical on-track incident. Instead, it turned out to be none other than Brad Pitt’s skilled stuntman who took the fall.
Brad Pitt’s upcoming movie, simply titled F1, places Pitt literally in the driver’s seat, and the production has been using actual F1 events as locations during the shoot. Anybody unaware of what was going on was potentially worried, or perhaps confused, to see somebody suited up like a racer, with a camera strapped to their face, seemingly collapsing on the track. The Instagram account for the film, which presents itself as a real F1 team, but is a promotional account for the film, posted the incident.

In People’s report, Pitt didn’t fall to the ground; instead, his stuntman landed on a safety pad. Similar to “Top Gun: Maverick,” director Joseph Kosinski often utilized Brad Pitt and co-star Damson Idris for their driving scenes in this film, with them being the ones primarily driving most of the time. However, it appears that not all scenes in the movie will feature Pitt.
For some time now, the filming of the “F1” movie has been underway, and it appears that the scenes filmed in Las Vegas over the weekend are set at an early point in the storyline. The plot revolves around Brad Pitt, a proficient F1 racer, who steps away from the sport following a severe crash and injury. After a considerable gap of time, he is enticed to return, aiming for a rebound. It seems that the fall depicted here could be the initial accident that sets the narrative in motion.
If spectators at the race didn’t know a movie was being made, the whole scenario might have appeared dreamlike or unreal. The production of the new F1 film appears to employ stealthy tactics when it comes to filming, as they need to capture shots within narrow timeframes without interfering with the actual race. As one might expect, this demands everyone to stay alert and for everything to go smoothly.
As an ardent fan, I can tell you that none other than the legendary racer Lewis Hamilton is not only lending his star power to this new movie but also serving as a technical consultant. This means that the film’s authenticity won’t just stem from its locations; it will breathe with the same spirit of precision and passion that Lewis brings to the world of F1 racing.
It’s uncertain exactly how many filming sessions remain, but it seems that they are nearing completion. The release date of the F1 movie is scheduled for June 2025, which means production needs to wind down soon to allow for post-production work. On a positive note, since the actors have performed much of the action themselves, there may not be too many requirements for CGI effects as the film was primarily shot practically. However, the editing process for all the action sequences is expected to be quite intricate.
