Tom Holland turned heads at the British Grand Prix only a couple of hours ago, drawing as much attention as the roaring engines around him. With fans ever dreaming of cinematic crossovers, his surprise appearance at the much-coveted sporting event set off a flurry of online chatter and casting calls, with many imagining him as the lead of a high-octane F1 movie. While he did not take center stage in any official racing lineup, the buzz he generated could easily rival that of any pole position at the end of the day.

Tom Holland looked tiny behind the wheel of a Williams Racing car at Silverstone earlier today, with his expression portraying him as a child excited about a new toy. The Spider-Man star muttered something under his breath to give words to his thrill, but the click of the cameras around him did not allow the audio to be captured. Despite the miss, Holland’s excitement oozed through the screens, making fans believe he would be the perfect fit for the much-talked-about potential sequel to F1, Brad Pitt’s racing drama.

Directed by Joseph Kosinski and co-starring Damson Idris, Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, and more, F1, for those uninitiated, raced into cinemas on June 27. The much-hyped movie registered a $146.3 million global opening during its first weekend, and after only a little more than a week among fans, its worldwide revenue stands at 237 million USD, according to Box Office Mojo. The flick's glossy financial position makes the prospects of a sequel more real than ever, with Brad Pitt himself floating the theory in multiple interviews.
