F1 ‘team’ issue BIZARRE statement as shocking truth revealed…….read more
A bizarre statement was recently issued by a Formula 1 “team” regarding the APX GP social media accounts, revealing a surprising truth. Throughout the 2024 Formula 1 season, fans were treated to an unusual addition to the grid—a fictional 11th team. This team, known as APX GP, was part of the ongoing filming for the highly anticipated F1 movie, with Hollywood actor Brad Pitt playing the role of a fictional racing driver, Sonny Hayes. Pitt’s character was often seen alongside the fictional team at races, which included its own garage in the pit lane whenever filming occurred.
During the final race of the 2024 season in Abu Dhabi, the movie’s storyline included a fake podium celebration, where Pitt and actor Javier Bardem were depicted celebrating, alongside real-life F1 drivers George Russell and Charles Leclerc. The APX GP team’s involvement was largely linked to the movie’s production, but a new twist has emerged surrounding the team’s social media presence. An account called “Expensify APX GP F1 Team” appeared online, posting behind-the-scenes images, fake race results, and team radio messages throughout the season. This account mimicked the style of real F1 team social media pages, creating confusion among fans. Many were unsure whether it was an official marketing campaign for the movie or a fan-run platform.
In a strange turn of events, the creators behind the APX GP social media accounts issued a statement to clarify their position. The statement, published after the 2024 season concluded, revealed that the APX GP accounts on platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok were not linked to the F1 movie production. The administrators behind these accounts explained that they were simply passionate F1 fans, with no official connection to the movie’s creators, distributors, or marketing agencies. According to the statement, there was no financial gain involved in running these accounts, and their content was driven purely by a shared love of Formula 1 and excitement for the upcoming movie.
The statement continued by confirming that the APX GP accounts would return in 2025, in the lead-up to the movie’s official release in June. This clarification left fans surprised, as many had assumed the accounts were part of a larger promotional effort linked to the film. The revelation highlights the growing influence of fan-run social media in the F1 world and the blurred lines between real and fictional teams in this high-profile Hollywood production. As the movie’s release draws nearer, the APX GP team’s social media presence will likely continue to intrigue and engage F1 enthusiasts around the globe.
