The 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix is one of the grandest events across all sports this year. Celebrities have been flying in from all over the world and just ahead of the high-intensity qualifying session, Hollywood mega-star Brad Pitt has been spotted in the paddock of the pinnacle of motor racing.

Brad Pitt is a huge sports fan and is often seen attending Formula 1 events. At the ongoing carnival, he has arrived in the F1 paddock as a special guest of the Woking-based McLaren F1 team. He is with the papaya and will root for Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

Pitt has been busy with the shooting of an upcoming F1 movie and has been taking an F1 car for a spin around various f1 circuits. The film also has Lewis Hamilton associated with it, and thus, the craze for the blockbuster movie is extremely high even when the shooting of the film is still not complete.

While Brad Pitt’s F1 movie is still a work in progress, he has taken time out from his busy schedule to come over to Las Vegas and see the two McLarens sparkle their magic around the 6.201 km street circuit. Considering this, Piastri and Norris are going to feel a bit of pressure.

It is not often that a movie star of Pitt’s caliber graces a team with his presence. However, being the prolific drivers that the McLaren duo are, they are not going to get too bogged down by the prospect of having Brad Pitt looking over them. They have enough experience to deal with various types of situations.

The FP3 session had Oscar Piastri finishing in the top three, and keeping this in view, both the young Australian and Norris would look to end their qualifying exploits somewhere in the top 5. But the competition is tough as the Williams cars have also looked very pacey around the Las Vegas street circuit.
