Colapinto attended the event accompanied by his Alpine teammate, Pierre Gasly. Both were fascinated by the scale of the launch. "I've never seen so many televisions together in my life," he commented with a laugh as he looked at the illuminated city.
The blockbuster had already been presented during the Monaco GP, where Colapinto had early access. "It's great that motorsport looks so realistic in a Hollywood movie. What Brad and these great actors put together was good," he said.
The Argentine flavors and landscapes Pitt doesn't forget
Beyond the premiere, Pitt devoted several minutes of the interview to recalling his stay in Argentina, in 1996, during the filming of Seven Years in Tibet. He lived in the country for four months and still keeps unforgettable images.
"It's a very beautiful country. The food was unbelievable. We ate like kings. The wine was unbelievable too," he recalled enthusiastically. The actor recounted that he was in a small town at the foot of the Andes, where he was amazed by the changing landscapes depending on the daylight.

He also mentioned his time in Mendoza and was moved when he saw a picture of "Blanco," the dog he adopted while filming. "He was in the Andes. It was very beautiful. He looks a bit like a greyhound," he said, his voice filled with nostalgia.
Brad Pitt, at 60 years old, has shown that he can still move audiences both on screen and in real life. Among roaring engines and Argentine memories, F1 promises to be one of the year's major releases.
