All has been explained after F1 fans were shocked to see Brad Pitt 'faint' on the track at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

A number of Hollywood A-listers and celebs attended the highly-anticipated showdown on Saturday (23 November), which is a pretty normal thing at big sporting events.

But after George Russel secured the top spot in Vegas, the 60-year-old made his way out on to the track and seemingly fell over.

However, the actor was indeed only acting for his new F1 movie.

The Fight Club star has attended multiple races this year, taking on the role of fictional driver Sonny Hayes.

APX GP, the fictional team Pitt's character drives for, even released a statement following the 'incident'.

"During qualifying, Sonny sustained a significant impact requiring immediate medical evaluation," it read.

"Incidents of this magnitude are always taken seriously, and Sonny's health remains our top priority. While Sonny is otherwise stable, he will not participate in tomorrow's race as he focuses on recovery.

"The entire team stands behind him, and we'll provide updates when available. Joshua [Pearce, played by Idris] will race solo tomorrow, carrying the team forward."

The upcoming movie will be led by Joseph Kosinski, known for directing Tom Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick.

Despite having vast experience in the film world, Kosinski has revealed that he's turned to Lewis Hamilton for advice, to make sure the movie is as accurate as possible.

"Everything that he has brought to this movie, I cannot even express our thanks to him and all the folks from F1 who made this all possible," Bruckheimer said.

"The authenticity that he brings, we just cannot imagine what goes into what a driver does and what the sport brings to an audience.

"Sometimes we do not like to hear some of the things he says, because it costs us more money to fix things, but we are all in, we want to make it great, and he is certainly helping us."

So far, the F1 movie has been shot on famous tracks like Silverstone, Hungary, Spa, Monza, Zandvoort, Japan, Abu Dhabi, and Mexico City.

Filming began in 2023 as Pitt will be joined by the likes of Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia, and Samson Kayo.

So hold on to your seatbelts, as the upcoming F1 movie is set to be released in theatres in June 2025.
