In what was later learned to be a stunt, Pitt was seen wobbling around on his feet before collapsing in front of a crowd of spectators.

APX GP, the fictional race team of Pitt's character, released a fictitious statement after the fake accident in a ploy to promote the film.

"During Qualifying, Sonny sustained a significant impact requiring immediate medical evaluation," the facetious message read. "Incidents of this magnitude are always taken seriously and Sonny's health remains our top priority."

“While Sonny is otherwise stable, he will not participate in tomorrow's face as he focuses on recovery. The entire team stands behind him and we'll provide updates when available. Joshua will race solo tomorrow, carrying the team forward," the statement concluded.
