Simply put, Formula 1 is a race to determine who goes the fastest in the world. Essentially, it’s a competition that sees the most advanced cars on the planet driven by one of the most talented people. However, if we step away from the realm of the real world and dwell in the fictional world created by the brilliant storytellers at Warner Bros, we have a different answer. We, as fans, have come to know and love the fictional world of DC comics. Sometimes this fictional world coexists with our own. We saw a glimpse of that in the Spanish GP thanks to an F1 star promoting the latest DC Movie starring Ezra Miller.

Pierre Gasly showcased electrifying pace in the Spanish GP qualifying and parked his Alpine in fourth position ahead of a couple of world champions in faster cars. The race did not go according to plan as Gasly finished P10. However, the qualifying was definitely a tremendous boost for the Frenchman. After the race, Gasly revealed his secret weapon.

The Alpine man painted his helmet red in “The Flash” colors, the upcoming $330 million DC universe movie. The movie starring Ezra Miller is a highly anticipated movie. It is based on the hugely popular and fan-favorite Flashpoint Paradox comic. The fastest man alive in the DC universe got a shoutout in the fastest racing competition in the real world. Fitting!

Gasly posted the beautiful helmet design on his Instagram with the movie release date in the caption. “THE FLASH ⚡️⚡️⚡️. Definitely one of my favorite helmet!! Fast, electric & mighty. #TheFlashMovie au cinéma le 14 Juin.” Read the caption.

The social media post even received some burning love, as it often does, from his girlfriend, Kika Gomes. However, this isn’t an isolated movie promotion, as F1 has recently become a hub for Hollywood.

The Frenchman is only the latest F1 star to become a part of America’s biggest source of entertainment. Hollywood has identified the circus as its newest unexplored space and has already launched multiple projects. We all know Lewis Hamilton is part of one of the biggest ones among those with a $140 million budget and Brad Pitt plays the leading role. In fact, the Brit is knee-deep in this Apple project.

Speaking to the media, Hamilton confessed, My part-time job right now is working on the Formula 1 movie. Pretty cool, it’s like working with Brad Pitt. It’s pretty neat!”
