Formula 1 fans were in for a treat as Carlos Sainz made a surprising revelation at the premiere of ‘F1 The Movie’. The event, graced by the presence of the F1 elite, including Brad Pitt, took place in New York City and promised an exhilarating cinematic experience.
While most drivers and team bosses attended the premiere, one notable absence was Max Verstappen, who chose to spend time with his daughter instead. Verstappen’s absence did not dampen the excitement surrounding the film, which had already been screened for the drivers in a special F1-only event.
Sainz, known for his candid opinions, had a word of caution for “pure F1 fans” as he encouraged them to keep an open mind towards Hollywood films. The Williams driver acknowledged the diverse audience the movie caters to, urging fans to embrace the sport’s growing popularity.
The premiere also saw heartwarming moments between Sainz and his former Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc, along with friendly gestures from Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton, who played a pivotal role in the movie as a producer and consultant, was praised for his contribution to the film’s authenticity.
Lead actor Brad Pitt, portraying the character of Sonny Hayes, a former F1 driver turned mentor, expressed admiration for George Russell, highlighting his recent Grand Prix victory. Pitt’s engaging interaction with Russell, including their matching outfits, added a touch of camaraderie to the star-studded event.
With insights from key figures in the F1 world and Hollywood, ‘F1 The Movie’ promises to captivate audiences with its blend of adrenaline-fueled racing and compelling storytelling. As the film gears up for its global release, fans can anticipate a thrilling cinematic experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional sports documentaries.
