Brad Pitt apologized to Carlos Sainz with a handwritten letter after photobombing Ferrari’s 2024 team photo.

The incident occurred when Pitt and fellow actor Damson Idris, who are filming an upcoming F1 movie, unintentionally stood in the background during Ferrari’s official team picture. Sainz explained the situation in a behind-the-scenes video posted to his YouTube channel.

Poor Brad, he joined in the team photo yesterday and thought it might have been a farewell picture for me,” Sainz said. “He sent me a handwritten letter apologizing, but he didn’t need to. In fact, it’s even better—I now have a picture with the whole team and Brad Pitt!”

Pitt’s involvement in Formula 1 stems from his role in an upcoming movie focused on the sport, which has been filming at various Grand Prix events throughout the season. His thoughtful gesture highlights his respect for the F1 community and the teams involved in the project.

This lighthearted moment comes as Sainz prepares to leave Ferrari at the end of the 2024 season, with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton set to join the team in 2025. Reflecting on the decision, Sainz has expressed understanding and respect for Hamilton’s legacy in the sport.

Despite the changes, Sainz remains positive and upbeat, embracing lighter moments like the unexpected photo with Brad Pitt. “It’s even better this way,” Sainz quipped, adding a touch of humor to what is otherwise a bittersweet farewell season with Ferrari.
