“Unnecessary but Nice…”: Brad Pitt Repents for Rude Behavior After F1 Fans Rioted US GP Attendance

“First impression is the last impression” is how the saying goes. However, sometimes first impressions can be misleading, and people who set out to rectify those first impressions showcase their class. Brad Pitt put on a similar class act by making an “unnecessary but nice” gesture.

At the US Grand Prix grid walk, Martin Brundle felt the brunt of anonymity outside the world of F1 at the hands of Brad Pitt. The academy award-winning actor dismissed Brundle’s attempt to have a conversation. The incident, captured on video, invoked backlash towards the 58-year-old actor from the F1 fandom.

The backlash might’ve caught the American actor’s attention, which led him to make the gesture toward Brundle.

Martin Brundle revealed the gesture via a tweet that read, “Got a note from Brad Pitt explaining what happened with our near miss on the Austin grid.”

“Unnecessary, but nice of him. Absolutely nobody is obliged to talk to me on the grid, but as I endeavour to make 10/12 minutes of live and unscripted sports TV I’m obliged to at least ask.”

The American actor might have not known who Martin Brundle is or how he looks. However, after realizing the importance of the veteran commentator in the hearts of the F1 fandom, he deemed it necessary to write to him.

The humble gesture might be a subtle yet important move to win over a fanbase Brad Pitt will cater to soon.
