Brad Pitt: "It hurt" to miss 200mph target in 'extraordinary' McLaren F1 test
Brad Pitt revealed he wants the chance to improve on his Formula 1 debut after just falling short of his 200mph target during a run in Lando Norris' 2023 McLaren. The star of F1: The Movie, Pitt got behind the wheel of a fully-fledged F1 car for the first time as part of a Testing of Previous Cars programme for McLaren at Circuit of the Americas. Pitt, 61, plays returning racer Sonny Hayes in the F1 blockbuster, released globally this week, but the cars driven by the A-lister and his APX GP team-mate Damson Idris are based on F2 models. Taking to the track in Austin, Pitt had been given advice by Lando Norris, whose 2023 MCL60 he then got to experience first-hand – but was left wanting more. 'I got to hit 197 (miles per hour) this week,' Pitt told the Beyond the Grid podcast when talking about the experience. 'I really wanted to hit 200, it hurts me a little bit. Three miles per hour short on the straight. I've never experienced anything that's just a more feeling of presence in my life because you're so focused, but not you're not white knuckling. 'You're just in this, like, sublime groove. It is really extraordinary. And I try to explain this feeling of downforce and I fail every time because you try to say, like, a roller coaster, but that's not even right because you feel a fulcrum point underneath you. You're in it. 'I was in an aerobatic plane once and it's the closest thing. But still, this thing, this is such a unique feeling and an absolute high. 'I'm still on a high. I really am. I'm just still on a high. And I can't thank Zak Brown and the team and spent the day out with Lando. And just what a high.' F1: The Movie has received largely positive reviews and immerses viewers deep into the series, with cameos from a host of drivers and all of the 2024 teams featured. While Pitt and Idris – who plays young upstart Joshua Pearce – shared time with the likes of Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, they were not able to get their hands on F1 machinery. That changed with Pitt's outing in Austin and the Fight Club star admitted it was an altogether different experience. 'The step up? It's massive,' he added. 'Certainly the pickup is nothing that I had experienced before. It's just more, more, more, more brakes, more speed, more cornering power. 'I want to go back again, and I want to beat the time. I want to beat the time. I want to beat the time!'

A tumultuous finale: Unpacking the harrowing drama of the Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial
Lawyers will deliver marathon closing arguments as Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces federal charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and other offences, all of which he denies. Harrowing testimonies have revealed alleged abuse, coercion, and disturbing evidence, including videotaped incidents involving the victims. As the final stages of the at-times tumultuous proceedings approach, here are takeaways from the Manhattan trial. Both parties have rested in the trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, and now lawyers will address jurors directly with marathon closing arguments. US prosecutors finished questioning their 34th and final witness in the seventh week of testimony, after which the defence delivered a briefcase in which they opted against calling anyone further to the stand. That included Combs himself: it is common for defendants not to testify in their own trial, as taking the mic could open them up to potentially incriminating themselves. In a short, standard exchange with Judge Arun Subramanian, Combs confirmed that he would not take the stand on his own behalf. 'Is it your decision not to testify in this case?' the judge asked, to which Combs responded: 'That is my decision, your honour.' 'It is solely my decision,' he continued before adding that he came to that conclusion 'with my lawyers.' 'It's my decision to make. I'm making this freely.' The defence rested after presenting a number of exhibits, a process that lasted less than half an hour. Music mogul Combs, 55, faces federal charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation with intent of prostitution. He denies all charges and faces life in prison if convicted. As the final stages of the at-times tumultuous proceedings approach, here are takeaways from the Manhattan trial. Key testimony from victims Throughout the prosecution's nearly seven-week case, three women took the stand to describe harrowing details of graphic sexual assault, including rape. The first was Casandra Ventura, the singer who dated Combs for 11 years. She made her dramatic turn as a star witness last month while eight months pregnant with her third child. She recounted degrading, drug-fuelled, frequently filmed sex parties with escorts she said Combs coerced her into and also told jurors he raped her near the end of their relationship. READ | 'It was disgusting': Diddy's ex Cassie reveals chilling details of 'freak-off' rituals Jurors have repeatedly watched disturbing surveillance footage of Combs brutally beating and dragging Ventura, a video already seared into the public consciousness after CNN published it last year. A former assistant of Combs testified under the name Mia and described trying to protect Ventura from Combs' fits of rage. Mia told jurors she personally endured abuse, including rape, from Combs. A third woman, Jane, also testified of orchestrated sex parties with paid escorts. She said she felt 'obligated' to acquiesce to Combs' desires, for 'fear of losing the roof over my head' that he was bankrolling. Bad Boy Entertainment or criminal enterprise? Prosecutors say Combs headed a criminal organisation that enforced his power with myriad crimes, including forced labour, kidnapping, bribery, witness tampering and arson. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisations Act, known by its acronym RICO, encompasses 35 specific offences, including the aforementioned crimes. Prosecutors must prove a criminal pattern involving at least two of them. Government attorneys, who must also show the existence of an enterprise, say Combs' sprawling music, fashion and business empire doubled as a criminal ring that included some high-ranking associates and other employees. Through testimony and evidence, prosecutors have suggested that Combs' chief of staff and his head of security were both key to the alleged enterprise - but neither were called to the stand nor have they been charged publicly. Many witnesses, including former assistants, were given immunity orders so they could speak truthfully without fear of incriminating themselves. The digital footprint Records of private messages have played a major role in the prosecution's case, a reflection of the paper trail that accompanies society's dependence on digital communication. The government's evidence included thousands of pages of phone and text records, and hours of testimony involved meticulous readings of some of the most explicit and wrenching exchanges. Combs' relationship with Ventura lasted from around 2007 to 2018, and records include many texts and e-mails. Jane's testimony, a girlfriend of Combs from 2021 to 2024, was grounded in voluminous text conversations, audio voice messages, and diary entries into her Notes app. Many of those records appear to indicate distress on the part of the alleged victims. But a lot of the messages also show affection and desire - texts the defence underscored again and again. Jurors have seen video evidence of the sex parties prosecutors say were criminal, while the defence has exhibited exchanges they said imply consent. Also in evidence are reams of financial records - including CashApp payments to escorts - as well as flight and hotel records. Coercion versus consent Core to the prosecution's case is a question of coercion versus consent: were the alleged victims in the case coerced, forced or fraudulently made to engage in drug-addled sex marathons under threat of harm - or were they knowing and willing participants? In its opening statements, the defence said Combs' accusers are 'capable, strong adult women.' 'Being a willing participant in your own sex life is not sex trafficking,' said lawyer Teny Geragos. Ventura and Jane both said they experienced emotional manipulation and threats that were reputational, financial and physical. And a forensic psychologist explained to jurors how the tactics of abusers can keep victims from leaving relationships. Celebrities, influencers and the online gossip machine Jurors are instructed every day not to consume media about the case - a mighty task, as news of the trial has permeated media ecosystems and social platforms. Dozens of news organisations are covering the trial, along with enthusiastic content creators cashing in on the internet's desire for hot takes and celebrity gossip. Combs is incarcerated and does not enter or exit the courthouse publicly. But some of the high-profile attendees and witnesses do, including members of the music mogul's family and figures like Kid Cudi, the rapper who testified that Combs' entourage torched his car. And the brief cameo of Ye, who stopped by to lend his 'support' to Combs, was a particular field day for the chronically online.
