McLaren to sell five cars driven by F1 champions Brad Pitt

The McLaren team will sell five fully serviceable Formula 1 cars, which in different years were driven by champions, including Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Lando Norris and Ayrton Senna who died in 1994, and one of the cars was tested by Hollywood actor Brad Pitt. Reuters reports.

Preparation of cars for new owners will be done by McLaren specialists.

The cars put up for sale were used both in races and in tests.

Driving one of them, McLaren 2023, in June 2025 on the track in Austin (Texas, USA) was Brad Pitt, who before starred in the lead role in the film about “Formula 1”. Pitt accelerated the car to 317 km / h. This is the most modern Formula 1 car ever offered for sale to a private owner.

“We’ve decided to part ways with these legendary McLaren cars because we believe that just keeping them in stock means devaluing what they are,” said McLaren Racing CEO Zach Brown.

The exact prices are not known, but they are expected to sell for up to $13.3 million.

On October 9, a truly absurd and tense situation developed in Russian sports. On the one hand, the international federations are lifting discriminatory restrictions one by one. On the other hand, host countries are finding ways to keep our athletes out of competitions using a banal bureaucracy. A good example is the Russian gymnastics team, which right now risks losing its chance at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
