'Sonny Hayes' wishes to stay for longer in F1: 'I might shed a tear!'

The season did not only come to an end for the Formula One grid. APX GP's filming sessions also reached its final point at the tracks. Movie star and co-producer Brad Pitt wishes he could stay for longer.

F1, the film co-produced by Lewis Hamilton, is set to be released in June 2025. With the conclusion of the Abu Dhabi GP, filming on track now will also finish. Brad Pitt, who plays driver 'Sonny Hayes', talked to Sky Sports about his 'season'.

Unlike some drivers like Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso, he is not ready for the break. "I've been having the time of my life. I wish it could go on another year. I might shed a tear. You might see a grown man cry."

"I've got so much respect for these guys. What these drivers and cars can do. It's off the charts." The American also believes they could achieve their goal. "It's really good fun. Our director said put actors in the car and bed ourselves in the weekend and make the best racing movie. I dare say we have done it."

In Abu Dhabi, Pitt could also step on the podium as Sonny Hayes, together with Charles Leclerc and George Russell.
