'I got a lot,' Pitts tells PEOPLE. 'I got a lot, but every time I got in the car, these tracks are just like hallowed ground. Silverstone. Spa in Belgium was the most memorable. Abu Dhabi. We really got spoiled.'
The star also shared what it was like having to switch from driving at super high speeds in the movie to driving in everyday life.

'There's a strange calm in the car when you're hitting everything,' he says. 'You're hitting your breaking points and hitting your turning points. It's such a piece. I can't even describe it. Yeah, it's incredible.'
According to an official synopsis, Pitt's character Hayes was Formula's 1 'most promising phenom of the 1990s' until an accident on the track nearly ended his career."
"Thirty years later, he's a nomadic racer-for-hire when he's approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling Formula 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to Formula for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world," the synopsis continues. "But as the engines roar, Sonny's past catches up with him and he finds that in Formula 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition—and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone."

Eric Dane Reveals Why His ALS Diagnosis Makes Him 'Angry' as a Dad of 2 Teenage Girls
Eric Dane is sharing what makes him angriest about his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis. In his first sit-down television interview after revealing he has ALS, the Grey's Anatomy alum, 52, was asked by Diane Sawyer for Good Morning America what makes him angry about his diagnosis. "I don't think this is the end of my story," Dane says. "I just don't feel like, in my heart, I don't feel like this is the end of me," he continues. "I'm fighting as much as I can. There's so much about it that's out of my control." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Sawyer then asks how angry the illness makes him. "Very angry. I'm angry because my father was taken from me when I was young," Dane says. "And now there's a very good chance I'm going to be taken from my girls while they are very young. I mean, I really at the end of the day just all I want to do is spend time with my family and work a little bit, if I can." "And make sure that you tell them that you love them," Sawyer tells the actor. "Every day. Every day. They're loved. They know it," Dane says. Dane shares his daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13, with wife Rebecca Gayheart. In April, the actor told PEOPLE exclusively that he'd been diagnosed with the incurable disease. "I have been diagnosed with ALS,' he shared at the time. 'I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.' 'I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week,' he told PEOPLE. 'I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.' ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a rare degenerative disease that causes progressive paralysis of the muscles. Patients first experience twitching or weakness in a limb, often followed by slurred speech. According to the Mayo Clinic, because the disease affects the nerve cells in the brain and spine that control muscle movement, patients slowly lose their ability to speak, eat, walk, and breathe independently. There's no cure for ALS, and people usually live three to five years after diagnosis, according to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. However, some patients can live decades.

Chi Modu® Estate Retains Ownership of the Iconic Biggie Smalls Images
JERSEY CITY, N.J., June 17, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following a confidential settlement reached in 2024 between the Estate of renowned photographer Chi Modu and the family of famed rapper Christopher Wallace, better known as Biggie Smalls and the Notorious BIG, the Modu family is delighted to announce that it retains sole ownership of the iconic hip-hop photos of Biggie. More specifically, the settlement confirmed a number of important principles: (1) the Chi Modu Estate alone owns the copyrighted images and, as such, the Estate is (2) free to sell copies of the photographs in any form including NFTs, and (3) those who wish to use the photographs for any purpose must obtain permission from the family and pay license fees to do so; and (4) the Wallace family alone controls Biggie's right of publicity. The settlement ensures that Chi's powerful images are unencumbered for editorial uses, purchases (including NFTs), and are available for limited licensing opportunities. Sophia Modu, the widow of Chi Modu, only now feels ready to publicly address the settlement and the impact of her husband's passing. "It took a while for me to work through the settlement with Notorious B.I.G., LLC, and to be emotionally prepared to address this publicly. Above all, I am happy that the Modu family maintains complete control of his artistic work," said Mrs. Modu. Chi Modu's images, captured during a groundbreaking era in '90s hip-hop history, remain a testament to his unique eye and cultural insight. "Chi spent many years as the Director of Photography for The Source magazine in the '90s," Mrs. Modu continued. "While he was compensated very little for his artistic services, the magazine agreed that Chi would retain the rights to his photographs of hip-hop artists that graced its pages. Chi's photographs remain his—in life or in death." With the litigation now behind them, the Estate looks forward to monetizing Chi's archival material through editorial channels, creative collaborations such as photographic exhibitions, and emerging platforms such as NFTs. "Throughout the case, I've learned how crucial it is for photographers to understand their intellectual property rights. If creatives are not fully aware of the intersection of art, business, and law, they can unintentionally give others an excuse to claim their images or work products," added Mrs. Modu. ArentFox Schiff LLP, a prominent national law firm, represented the Chi Modu estate in this matter on a pro bono basis. About The Chi Modu Estate Celebrating his 35+ year career in photography, the Estate of Christopher Chijioke Modu remains the sole owner and manager of the iconic photographs taken by the legendary artist and photojournalist, Chi Modu. Additionally, the Estate holds trademarks on Hip Hop Images™, his name, and his iconic signature. The estate manages the licensing of his archival material for collaborations, exhibitions, and emerging platforms such as NFTs. Its assets include unique photographs of The Notorious BIG, Tupac Shakur, Nas, Eazy-E, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Ol' Dirty Bastard, and many other hip-hop icons.
