Back to the scene of the crime.

Brad Pitt’s no stranger to Las Vegas. The actor's starred in a few films set in Sin City, like 'Ocean's Eleven', 'Ocean's Thirteen', and 'Cool World' (the less said about that the better), but AMG's favourite is 'F1' for obvious reasons. To promote its new GT four-door coupé, however, the brand forces Pitt to wait for his car. No need to worry, though—five-time Grand Prix winner George Russell is the best valet in town.

His former Mercedes teammate, Lewis Hamilton, kicked off the 2025 season with a remake of the valet scene from ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’. Russell, director Nicholas Schrunk, and stunt driver Samuel Hu¨binette put together a tribute to the art of drifting instead, with the hotel’s employee of the month for outstanding commitment to speedy customer service in the zone.

He's too busy to talk much, as you might expect, but we're surprised how little Pitt has to say. The manager notes Pitt's new moustache and attempts to make small talk about it, but no dice. We doubt Pitt has to wait for much in life, so it's fun to watch Russell take his smoky, sweet-ass time before parking. Suffice it to say, he can kiss that tip goodbye.
