Formula 1 races are often a who\u2019s who of A-listers, influencers, and celebrities, particularly in the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But one key star slipped under the radar at the Miami Grand Prix: Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet.<\/p>\n

How Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet avoided detection in Miami<\/p>\n

Anyone even slightly familiar with pop culture has inevitably heard of Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet in the last few years.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old actor has been a formidable force in the film world for the last decade. His first role in\u00a0Interstellar back in 2014 gave him a strong foundation, while 2017\u2019s duo of\u00a0Call Me By Your Nam\u00a0and\u00a0Lady Bird marked him out as a star to watch.<\/p>\n

Since then, his roles have only grown: He was King Henry V in\u00a0The King, Laurie Laurence in\u00a0Little Women,\u00a0Paul Atreides in the\u00a0Dune\u00a0franchise, Willy Wonka in\u00a0Wonka, and Bob Dylan in\u00a0A Complete Unknown.<\/p>\n

So how did this mega-star avoid detection at the Miami Grand Prix?<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49\u00a0Cadillac\u2019s glitzy Miami launch is all part of its slow roll-out plan<\/a><\/p>\n

That was a topic of discussion on the post-Miami Sky F1 Podcast<\/strong>, with the formidable Ted Kravitz declaring his loser of the weekend to be \u201cany\u00a0photographer who failed to realize that the master of disguise, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, was actually not a VCARB Racing Bulls mechanic, but Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet!\u201d<\/p>\n

Kravitz continued, \u201cHe was in disguise. He walks into the paddock, and he\u2019s dressed in a Toro Rosso shirt \u2014 not the pink one, but the usual racing shirt \u2014 and some blue trousers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd because, you know, he\u2019s the Fremen, he\u2019s Paul Atreides, he\u2019s Willy Wonka, he\u2019s Bob Dylan, he\u2019s a master of disguise.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one can tell that he\u2019s not actually a Racing Bulls mechanic, because he looked like a Racing Bulls mechanic or engineer, and all the photographers \u2014 so many of the photographers \u2014 missed him!<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they were like, is Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet here? Because he didn\u2019t sneakily appear on the official list of celebrities that gets passed around.<\/p>\n

\u201cHad he done, everyone would have been, \u2018Oh my word, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet is here!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, sneaky by the Chalamet people, the people who put together the celebs!\u201d<\/p>\n

The VCARB crew kit was perhaps the big key for Chalamet to remain undetected, but his absence on the official celebrity list also meant no one was expecting to spot him on the grid!<\/p>\n

For each race, Formula 1 compiles a list of the celebrities who will appear at the track. This allows photographers to know who to look out for, and to preemptively research anyone they may not be familiar with.<\/p>\n

And if a name misses the list, well \u2014 it means plenty of folks can walk by someone like Chalamet without a second thought.<\/p>\n
