Brad Pitt looks handsome in a Mercedes jacket as he takes a break from filming his new racing drama to watch preparations for the Belgian Grand Prix

Brad Pitt looked handsome in a Mercedes racing jacket on Thursday as took a break from filming F1 to visit the preparations for the Belgian Grand Prix 2024.

The actor, 60, paired the jacket with a white racing shirt with a slight turtle neck and a loose pair of off-white trousers.

Brad accessorised with a large pair of dark red glasses and strolled around with his hands in his pockets and a member of staff close behind him. 

The two-time Oscar winner is in the middle of filming American sports action drama film F1 due to be released in June 2025.

Also starring Damson Idris and Javier Bardem, F1 follows Sonny Hayes (Brad) a  ex-Formula One driver who raced in the 1990s until a horrible crash forced him to retire.

One day, a Formula One team owner and Sonny's friend (Javier) contacts Sonny and asks him to come out of retirement to mentor rookie prodigy Joshua Pearce (Damson) for the Expensify Apex Grand Prix team.

Earlier in July, Brad made a radiant entrance at the Hungary Grand Prix in Budapest to film new scenes for F1.

The Hollywood favourite arrived at the famous Hungaroring circuit for another day of racing practice. 

Brad has been getting behind the wheel often for the role, and was most recently seen before Hungary at the British Grand Prix.

The first teaser trailer for F1 debuted during the Formula 1 British Grand Prix on Sunday, July 7, and Brad attended its premiere with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon.

Joseph Kosinski directs. He also led Top Gun: Maverick starring Tom Cruise, another actor who has felt the need for speed.

Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton – who won the British Grand Prix this month – produced the film alongside Brad and Jerry Bruckheimer. 

All 10 Formula One teams and their drivers, the FIA, and race promoters contributed to ensure the authenticity of the storylines. 

The Belgian Grand Prix kicks off on July 28 at 2pm and will take place on the Spa-Francorchamps track.

It comes after reports Brad's daughter Shiloh Jolie is moving ahead with her petition to legally drop the actor's surname - taking out a newspaper advert in The LA Times. 

Shiloh, who hired and paid for her own lawyer when she filed to drop the Pitt name on her 18th birthday in May, filed to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie, per the newspaper notice obtained by TMZ.

The ad is a standard step before the court will approve a name change and the notice states anyone who has objections to the petition should show up in court later this month.  

The revelation that Shiloh paid herself suggests that the ugly spat between former couple Brad and his Angelina Jolie , 48, may still rumble on in the form of legal action from the six children the couple once shared.
