He later posed for snaps with his fellow co-stars, including Damson Idris, 33, leading lady Kerry Condon, 42, the movie’s producer Jeremy Kleiner, 49, and director Joseph Kosinski, 51. 

The film sees Brad’s character pitted against rookie and rival Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris) as they battle it out at various Grand Prix’s around the world. 

While the reviews for F1: The Movie aren’t quite all in yet, social media reactions from several critics began flooding in on X this week.  

Many praised Brad and Damson’s onscreen chemistry, as well the movie’s overall look thanks to director Joseph Kosinski, who last worked on Top Gun: Maverick.

With some even branding F1 the ‘Top Gun for racing fans’ – three years after the Tom Cruise aviator movie made an eye-popping $1.496 billion worldwide. 

iOne Digital’s Bernard Smalls said: ‘Buckle up #F1TheMovie is an high octane thrill ride. It’s one of those films that you go to the movies for. Brad Pitt and Damson Idris are both dynamic. This is top gun for F1 racing fans. Truly a racing movie for a new generation’.

While Rotten Tomatoes’ Erik David wrote: ‘Joseph Kosinski’s #F1TheMovie hits the gas and doesn’t stop. The races are epic, the sound design, editing, cinematography, performances and music are all top notch’.

He added: ‘You definitely feel shades of TOP GUN MAVERICK in that it plays like an old school summer blockbuster. What a ride’.

The Wrap’s Drew Taylor said: ‘#F1TheMovie is absolutely incredible. It’s one of the coolest, most entertaining movies you’ll probably ever see, but none of that sizzle takes away from its soul. Kosinski precision engineered an eye-popping, edge of your seat pop epic that makes you feel so much. I adored it’.

Elsewhere IndieWire’s Mike Ryan joked: ‘I just saw F1 and apparently it’s about race cars and not about a small tornado. But good gosh that was a lot of fun’.

Variety’s Jazz Tancay commented: ‘WOW! is an action-packed thrilling look at the world of F1 racing, with lots of grit. The sound, score and cinematography are flawless. Damson Idris and Brad Pitt are great! Absolutely Obsesseddd’.

While The Breakroom’s Maude Garrett said: ‘#F1TheMovie is so freaking good. It has all the adrenaline, heart, pacing, story and character that completely fleshes out this movie into excellence. I can only imagine how much MORE I would love this movie if I was a fan of F1 racing! Maybe I am now?’.

The movie, which boasts Tommy Hilfiger as it’s lifestyle sponsor and Lewis Hamilton as producer, was filmed at various F1 races around the globe for the past few years. 

In the trailer Brad’s character boasts an atтιтude and an addiction to gambling with a need for speed on the track.

Critics even branded F1 the ‘Top Gun for racing fans’ – three years after the Tom Cruise aviator movie made an eye-popping $1.496 billion worldwide

The movie has received rave reviews from a host of critics

But Javier Bardem wants him to be the best in the world and asks him to team with a young talented driver who lacks experience.

There is also romance. Brad is seen pᴀssionately kissing his screen mate, 42-year-old Irish actress Kerry Condon.

Fans went wild for the trailer as they took to the F1 Instagram page to share that the clip gave them ‘chills’ and was ‘awesome’ as one added: ‘Let’s race!’ 

It comes after Brad finally broke his silence on his ugly eight-year Angelina Jolie divorce battle that ended in December after she filed in 2016.

The actor was not venting, however, and instead seemed to try and downplay the legal boxing match that’s made headlines for almost a decade.

His comments were made in the June issue of GQ magazine as he promoted F1.

He said finally seeing the end of their battle was not ‘major.’

‘No, I don’t think it was that major of a thing,’ Pitt said. ‘Just something coming to fruition. Legally.’ 

Brad and Angelina share six children together – Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, Knox, 16, and Vivienne, also 16 – after marrying in 2014.
