There’s been an influx of royalty at the iconic Wimbledon games this time around. But while Carlos Alcaraz has stolen the spotlight with his exquisite win over Novak Djokovic, the world of F1 and its added fictionalized storyline has added yet another twist to the tale. F1 has been making it big in the United States of America. Naturally, the focus has surely shifted to immense popularity in the States. And what better way to achieve that than a Hollywood script!

Brad Pitt has made his intentions pretty clear about the latest Formula 1-inspired movie he is making. And he’s been putting the hours into the track to make that dream a reality. That being said, Pitt has also been pulling a double shift to witness greatness on the court of Wimbledon.

During the British Grand Prix weekend, Brad Pitt worked tirelessly to bring his film to life. He was seen doing Installation Laps with his fictional APXGP F2/F1 car and was also seen posing during the Drivers’ national anthem shots. But what’s more? Pitt was putting on a double shift all this while.

According to Joe Pompliano, “Brad Pitt was on the grid at last weekend’s British Grand Prix filming a movie and is now at the Men’s Wimbledon final this weekend. Not a bad 7-day stretch.” Pitt has seen history in the making as Carlos Alcaraz snatched the coveted title from Novak Djokovic‘s grips.

The New York Times reported, “He clawed his way back into the match in an epic 90-minute second set in which he was a point away from what figured to be an insurmountable two-set deficit. He seized control of the match midway through the third set, gaining a crucial second break of Djokovic’s often unbreakable serve during a game that included 13 deuces.”
