George Russell and Brad Pitt steal the show at the F1 premiere with coordinated ensembles

George Russell traveled to New York City for the premiere the day after winning the Canadian Grand Prix title. Pitt stopped in the middle of his interview with Sky on the red carpet when he saw Russell.

"Wait a minute, I'm sorry, but what a weekend, man. “Great drive, it was so fun to watch,” Pitt said, hugging him and shaking hands with him, according to Newsweek. Russell expressed gratitude and noted that they were both wearing the same salmon-colored shirt.

Russell later joked on Instagram, "When you both turn up wearing the same salmon shirt..." Adding a touch of humor to the delightful conversation, Pitt retorted, "You texted," back.

The Instagram picture of Pitt and Russell received a lot of love online. "Okay, so James Bond and Brad Pitt!" was one well-known remark. Fans referred to them as "twins in crime" and even pictured Russell as the upcoming 007.

F1: The Movie has a star-studded ensemble.

Javier Bardem, Damson Idris, and Kerry Condon all join Pitt in the ensemble of F1: The Movie. However, the addition of real-life F1 champions makes it particularly exciting for fans.

Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc, and Russell join Lewis Hamilton, who also co-produced the movie.

Filming started more than a year ago at real F1 tracks, making it difficult to differentiate between cinematic drama and actual motorsport. The picture has been marketed as one of the most realistic racing movies ever.

George Russell's triumph in the Grand Prix

Despite post-race protests, Russell's victory at the Canadian GP is unchanged. The race result remained intact despite Red Bull's Christian Horner's allegation that Russell "heavily braked" behind the safety car.

With 136 points, the Mercedes driver is now in fourth place in the drivers' championship. Russell allegedly remarked following his victory, "It's amazing to be back on the top step... obviously so happy to see Kimi on the podium as well. Amazing day for the team."
