Brad Pitt seems to be making another major return to the racing world. He’s recently signed on to star in Apple Studios’ upcoming movie “F1.” The film, directed by Joseph Kosinski, known for his work on “Top Gun: Maverick,” features Pitt as a former driver who finds his way back into the fast-paced world of motorsport. Next to him, Damson Idris (Snowfall) stars as his new driver teammate on the fictional APXGP team.
During a recent “F1” fan event on June 09, 2025, in Naucalpan de Juarez, Mexico, Pitt dropped some of his most important life advice. He went on to muse about the lessons he’s learned over his long, public life. He spoke candidly about ways that traditional masculinity has shaped him. He stressed the need to keep good, encouraging friends and family close.
In a refreshingly honest GQ profile published last month, Pitt reflected on some of his most intriguing life perspectives. He acknowledged the constant scrutiny that comes with fame, stating, “My personal life is always in the news. It’s been an annoyance I’ve had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do.” Even with this struggle, he described the peace of mind he has found in recent years.
Thanks to Pitt’s participation on the show, he is now more passionate about racing than ever before. He described the exhilaration of driving Formula 1 cars, saying, “It’s so sublime. It’s a feeling I’ve never had, to experience downforce, to experience the way these cars can stick to the road around a high-speed corner, it’s staggering.” To the question if he ever believed he could become a legitimate Formula 1 driver, he laughingly answered. Had I been a few years younger, if I was a little bit younger, I would have gone that route, I believe.
For women especially, maintaining a sense of resilience in life is crucial, continued the actor. Looking back on his experience, he offered this advice, “Whatever you mess up, just learn from it and keep going. That approach is going to take you to your next win.” This newfound perspective impressed upon him the need to be intelligent in his response to adversity.
