Australian driver Oscar Piastri did not interact with Brad Pitt during filming of the racing drama F1, detailing how real Formula One participants were placed within scenes. In the F1 movie, Oscar Piastri stood beside Brad Pitt’s character Sonny Hayes in a driver lineup during the national anthem. According to a recent Herald Sun interview with his mother, Nicole, he made no mention of the moment and later confirmed there was no conversation. When asked why, she recalled Piastri joking, “What are you going to say to that old guy?” noting he struggled to find small talk across the age gap. F1 featured multiple real-life drivers and later earned 2026 Academy Awards nominations.
