Tom Clarkson

Is he now in a position where he knows how to extract the last few milliseconds from the car?

Because in doing so, you can put yourself in a much better place, definitely.

And we have some peculiarities in this car on just how to approach certain corners, simple as that.

But he's really, really good at vocalizing that, helping Carlos as well.

He's not keeping it for himself.

And his direction is absolutely spot on.

So that's what I meant by confidence as the driver.

2025 was also a huge year for Formula One off track, as the pinnacle of motorsport made its Hollywood debut.

F1 the Movie, starring Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, took speed to the big screen.

Brad joined us for a very special F1 Beyond the Grid ahead of the London premiere in July.

But was I talking to an actor or a racing driver?

Well, how naturally did you take to the role of Sonny Haith?

That's what I've got to figure out.

We all want a sequel.

But you do so much research to all of your roles, right?

How much did you have to prepare for this one from a fitness point of view and also just from a driving point of view?

What was the starting point?

Did you know what a racing line was when you started the movie?

What was the hardest thing to get your head around from a driving point of view?

Physically, were you okay?
