Brad Pitt arrived at the race with his beautiful girlfriend Ines de Ramon, along with Geri Horner, Gordon Ramsay and his daughter Holly.
The 60-year-old actor looked smitten with the handsome 31-year-old as they walked through the paddock together.
Ines looked stunning in a breezy light blue dress and boots, while Brad stood out from the crowd in a yellow jacket and a quirky bucket hat.
This year’s racing festival lasted four days and attracted a large number of celebrities eager to catch all the high-speed action.
Elsewhere, Spice Girl Geri, 51, supported her husband Christian, 50, and his Red Bull team as the couple attempted to move on from his recent sexting scandal.
Horner was accused of sending intimate text messages to a female employee, but has since been cleared of wrongdoing following an internal investigation at Red Bull into “coercive behaviour” towards the colleague.
The couple were joined by daughter Bluebell, son Montague and stepdaughter Olivia and posed for photographs as they hung out in the paddock ahead of Sunday’s race.
Brad and Ines were first linked in November 2022, after they were spotted at a Bono concert.

Ines and Paul finalized their divorce earlier this month.
Brad took her to the premiere of his film Babylon in December 2022. Afterward, they celebrated his birthday and New Year’s Eve together, before taking a trip to Paris.
In early February, Brad also attended the Santa Barbara International Film Festival with Ines.
The actor attended the film festival to honor his friend Bradley Cooper with the Best Actor of the Year award.
Brad and Ines sat next to each other at the event – which took place at the Arlington Theater – as seen in Hello! Magazine.

She accessorized with gold jewelry and wore her brunette locks in a perfectly bouncy blow-dry hairstyle.
According to Hello!, Ines had her hand on Brad’s thigh for most of the event as the couple laughed and chatted.
A source told People: “He seemed in a very good mood onstage when he presented the award to Bradley and joked about his friend. He said he was just there for the free trip to Santa Barbara.”
A week later it was announced that Brad and Ines were living together with the actor.
“It’s quite recent. They’re going really strong and she’s happier than ever,” a People an insider said, adding that she still has her place.
Although Pitt is known for his relaxed, public image, he has previously been accused of unpredictable behavior by his ex-wife Angelina Jolie (49).
The star’s new blockbuster, to be called F1, will be co-produced by Lewis Hamilton.
After filming for the film was postponed last year due to the American actors and writers’ strike, Brad will be racing modified Formula 2 car between practice sessions this weekend as they begin the action scenes.
F1 bosses hope the film, due for release on June 25 next year, will follow on from the popularity of Netflix series Drive to Survive, with a teaser already being released ahead of Sunday’s race.
Brad plays the role of veteran driver Sonny Hayes, who returns to the Formula 1 grid after a long absence.
Along with his fictional teammate Joshua Pierce, played by British actor Damson Idris, the Fight Club star lined up among the sport’s 20-driver field for last year’s Silverstone race. The two actors are expected to be back on the grid for Sunday’s event.
The Silverstone paddock also has a garage set up for the ’11th team’, called APXGP.
