Brad Pitt needs to ‘try and be calm' on the road

Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Brad Pitt has admitted he needs to 'chill' while driving. The Hollywood star - who plays racer Sonny Hayes in new blockbuster F1 - got to speed around racetracks for the movie, but he acknowledged he should learn to slow down when he's out and about. Noting he is 'trying to be calm in traffic', Brad told Extra: 'I'm one of those that feels like I'm always on the racetrack and I need to, like, chill. 'I just need to chill. So that's this year, just trying to chill. Enjoy the sights, don't sweat the traffic. 'I'm not doing very well, by the way.' The 61-year-old actor's character in the movie is a retired driver making his return to the sport, and Brad has seen parallels with the film world. He said: 'It's nice... It's a funny thing because I see the new generations coming in and it's really exciting what they're doing, and the movies are about a place in time, in our time, and they reflect our time… 'I really enjoy it, but I so enjoy what other people are doing, so it's less of a hunt and more of an appreciation, you know, as the natural evolution happens.' Brad recently opened up about having to learn from his mistakes, as he appeared to reflect on lessons learned following his divorce from Angelina Jolie. He told Entertainment Tonight: 'o matter the mistake, you know, you just learn from (it) and move on.' Brad added about making an error: 'It'll lead to the next success.' The A-lister and and Angelina concluded their divorce in December 2024, more than eight years after the actress, 50, first filed to dissolve their marriage in September 2016. The couple, who starred together in Mr and Mrs Smith, share six children – Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16. Speaking about what keeps him grounded at this point in life, Brad said: 'At this age, you see how important it is to surround yourself with the people you know, the people you love, the people that love you back.'

Thailand Sets Sights on 2028 Formula 1 Grand Prix with $1.2 Billion Bangkok Bid

Thailand's cabinet has given the green light to a bold $1.2 billion bid to host a Formula One Grand Prix in Bangkok starting in 2028, marking a major push to bring the world's most prestigious motorsport event to Southeast Asia's second-largest economy. If approved by Formula 1 management, the deal would see Thailand host an annual race in the capital through 2032, adding another marquee event to the sport's already packed global calendar. Street Racing in the Heart of Bangkok The proposal is for a street circuit in Bangkok — a high-stakes logistical and infrastructural undertaking that aims to emulate the glitz and allure of races like Monaco and Singapore. The government has made clear that this isn't just about racing, but about showcasing Thailand on the global stage. 'In the next two to three years, Thailand will have world-class competition, which we never thought would actually happen here,' said government spokesperson Jirayu Houngsub in a news conference on Tuesday. Tourism Minister Sorawong Thienthong confirmed the bid is valued at approximately 40 billion baht ($1.23 billion). Long-Term Vision for Tourism For Thailand, hosting a Formula 1 race fits neatly into its strategy to revitalize tourism, which remains one of the country's most important economic sectors. A Bangkok Grand Prix would generate global media exposure, draw tens of thousands of international fans, and position the capital as a high-end destination for sports and entertainment. This announcement follows a March meeting between Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali, after which Thailand commissioned a feasibility study into organizing a street race beginning in 2028. Competition on a Crowded Grid If successful, Thailand would join an increasingly crowded Formula One calendar that currently features 24 races, with four already in the Asia-Pacific region — including a night race in nearby Singapore. While Thailand has an FIA-accredited circuit in Buriram, which hosts MotoGP events, the government is aiming higher with a Bangkok-based event that puts the urban setting front and center. It's a move that mirrors the global trend in F1 toward street circuits that blend sport with cityscape spectacle. Next Steps The Thai government's approval is just the beginning. The final decision rests with Formula One's commercial rights holders and governing bodies. A Bangkok Grand Prix would require detailed logistical planning, infrastructure development, and close coordination with city authorities to ensure the urban race meets international standards. Still, the cabinet's unanimous backing signals Thailand's intent: to be more than just a tourist haven — to become a global stage for elite sport. If it crosses the finish line, Bangkok 2028 could mark a turning point in Southeast Asia's presence in the Formula 1 world.
