What Maddox wants, Maddox gets.

Brad Pitt and his eldest son took a four-hour road trip from their rented villa in France to watch the Mugello motorcycling Grand Prix in Italy.

"Brad wanted to go and Maddox was really excited after watching the Monaco Grand Prix the week before on television," a source tells E! News.

"They wanted to go to the Monaco Grand Prix together, but it was so rainy that they canceled at the last minute.

"They both had a great time and they met Valentino Rossi after he won.

"During the race, Brad gave Maddox a pair of sunglasses to protect his eyes and earplugs to protect his ears," says our insider.

"But one of the mechanics in the pit lane that they met gave Maddox a pair of professional ear protectors to wear, so he was really happy with that."

While Brad and Maddox watched the race in Italy, Angelina looked after their three other kids in France.
