Pitt's latest public appearance was at the European premiers of F1 in Leicester Square, London where he stood for photographs alongside Tom Cruise and the film's cast.
In his new flick, he plays veteran driver Sonny Hayes, who comes out of retirement to rescue buddy Ruben Cervantes' (Javier Bardem) ailing race team, years after a near-fatal crash.
British F1 ace Lewis Hamilton is a producer and the film, which has garnered mixed reviews, is directed by Joseph Kosinski and the rest of the team behind Top Gun: Maverick, except Tom Cruise.
Sonny is shown as a washed-up 'old man' who has fallen into gambling and only rediscovers his love for the sport when he faces competition from a younger driver.
In an interview with Hollywood podcaster Dax Shepard, Brad recently admitted he was similarly lost after Angelina, 50, filed for divorce in September 2016.

She cited irreconcilable differences around the same time as the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services investigated Brad for alleged child abuse after an incident on the family private jet.
It was reported that the star had lost his temper when their son Maddox stepped in to stand up for his mother during a fight.
One source claimed the actor 'was drunk' and the situation quickly 'escalated'.
During the probe, Brad voluntarily completed drug testing.
Meanwhile, two of his kids stopped using his last name.
Brad, who was raised in Springfield, Missouri, was cleared of all allegations.
But his personal life was in turmoil, and led to him seeking professional help.
However, he recently revealed he was rapped for discussing his enthusiasm for Alcoholics Anonymous in a New York Times interview.
Explaining why he wanted to talk about the closed-door sessions, Brad told Dax's Armchair Expert podcast: 'It was a men's group, it was AA, it was when I was first getting sober.
'I just thought it was incredible, men sharing their experiences, their foibles, their missteps, their wants, their aches and a lot of humour.
'I thought it was a really special experience.
'So I do this interview, and I got admonished by someone from the higher-ups, saying, 'It's anonymous'.'
