Do you recall how Brad Pitt ignored Martin Brundle at the last year’s US GP and refused to give answers? Well, the Hollywood actor has made up for it as he called the Voice of F1 into a garage on the Silverstone circuit to have a chit-chat. However, the chit-chat revealed that Brad Pitt’s ego was crushed by Lewis Hamilton‘s $140 million project which poses a serious challenge. What is this challenge? Why was Brad Pitt’s ego hurt?
Lewis Hamilton and Brad Pitt have been working together on the F1-themed movie with a budget of $140 Million for some time now. At this year’s British GP, multiple racing scenes for the movie were shot between the sessions. The car featured in the movie is an F2 car modified by Mercedes to look like an F1 car. Brad Pitt revealed that he’d taken driving lessons starting with lower formula cars to get a hang of driving the F2 cars around.
🎙️ Brad Pitt: "Birkaç kere istemeden çimlere çıktım ama sürüş çok keyifliydi!"
❓ Brundle: "Bir şeye çarptın mı?”
🎙️ Brad Pitt: "Sadece egoma!"#F1 #BritishGP pic.twitter.com/lIiGBBKTSg

Despite being a considerable step down from F1 cars, F2 cars are still no joke and can be a handful as explained by Brad Pitt which led to an ego-shattering experience. During the race weekend, Martin Brundle got the chance to interview Brad Pitt. As they talked about the cars, Brad Pitt revealed how he stepped on the grass a few times. Brundle cross-questioned, “Did you hit something?” To which Brad Pitt replied “Only my ego”
Despite the training, Brad Pitt wasn’t able to have a clean session like the F1 and F2 drivers. This is the only reason why his ego was shattered. Whilst Brad Pitt’s ego was crushed, Lewis Hamilton was flying in the air as the “Whenever, Wherever” singer was spotted on the track”

There is a magical relationship between Lewis Hamilton, Shakira, and an F1 podium. The last time that Shakira was at a GP, Hamilton scored a podium and this time as well, out of nowhere, Hamilton finished P3. Maybe Shakira should be coming to more Hamilton races. That way the Briton will be guaranteed more podiums than he currently is winning.
