George Russell steals spotlight in viral Brad Pitt…

Mercedes Formula 1 driver George Russell and Hollywood actor and star of the F1 movie, Brad Pitt, have teamed up for a fun promotional video for the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe prototype in Las Vegas.

The British driver assumed the role of a valet driver at Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip and was placed in charge of returning the camouflaged prototype to Pitt, who has been announced as the new face of the car with it set for its world premiere in 2026.

Russell was seen making the most of the Mercedes-AMG 4-Door Coupe's triple-motor powertrain and revolutionary drive concept as he drifted the machine around the parking lot before pulling off several doughnuts and burnouts.

"Part-time F1 driver, full-time valet driver for Brad Pitt. So cool to be a part of this campaign with @mercedesamg in the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe Prototype," Russell posted on X.

"I've always been a fan of performance – both on screen and behind the wheel," Pitt explained. "That same dedication to performance and thrill is what defines Mercedes‑AMG and I am proud to be part of this next chapter."

Russell added: "AMG has created something truly special here. I had an incredible day in Vegas with the Mercedes‑AMG GT 4‑Door Coupe prototype. The car feels fantastic, and I'm really impressed with the performance that AMG is bringing to the road. I think fans have something very special to look forward to."

"We’re thrilled to welcome Brad Pitt to Mercedes‑AMG," Michael Schiebe, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH and head of business units Mercedes-Benz G-Class and Mercedes-Maybach, said.

"His authenticity and his taste for the exceptional perfectly reflect the spirit of our upcoming four-door Coupe from Affalterbach, to be revealed in 2026. With this new Mercedes‑AMG GT 4‑Door Coupe, we’re redefining performance and creating a truly exciting, unforgettable experience."

Fans were quick to praise the video with many picking up on some of the smaller details such as the 'Employee of the Month' photo frame featuring Russell's now-iconic 'T' pose.

"Now that's called proper advertising," one fan commented, while another added: "I was so invested in the ad, needed more minutes."
