Brad Pitt is going to make a film about Formula 1, but with the fans, he did a bad turn. Indeed, at Martin Brundle's grid walk, the actor refused to take a moment to do an interview.
During every session this weekend, he appeared on screen. Pitt's presence on the Formula 1 paddock eluded no one. He was watching along in Mercedes' garage during the US Grand Prix but had been spotted talking to Max Verstappen and in Aston Martin's garage earlier in the weekend.
Criticism of Brad Pitt
Pitt was an interesting guest on the paddock as he will be commissioned by Apple to work on an F1 film in 2023. The huge production will also be seen on the F1 paddock next year, with Lewis Hamilton also playing an important role as co-producer.
However, Pitt did not yet appear to be fully aware of all the customs on the paddock, as he declined an interview with Brundle. The entourage around Pitt was already trying to prevent Brundle from asking a question at his famous grid walk and when the former F1 driver managed to do so anyway, Pitt said he couldn't say anything about the film being "top secret". The actor has received considerable criticism online after this action.
