Monaco proved to be another star-studded show with renowned faces showing up. Reporters, journalists, artists, and drivers often amass and crowd the paddock right before a race. To get top-notch F1 car pictures or just to chat with their favorite drivers, many high-profile entities arrived to enjoy the show.
Simone Ashley ignores F1 pundit Martin Brundle on the grid
Brundle tries to interview as many celebrities as he can on a race day. Simone was also one of the popular actresses he reached out to, but a spokesperson informed Brundle “she doesn’t wanna do any TV”.
While Brundle pushed a little more saying, “we’re kind of we’re halfway there already so you know…”, Ashley was simply not interested to chat. Now, this video is garnering several mixed views on Twitter.

Just because #SimoneAshley is a celebrity doesnt mean she has to do unscheduled interview every time someone shoves a microphone in her face whether at an event or not. The reporter was the one who was actually rude and wouldn't take no for an answer. Celebs are human too #F1

Pathetic snobbery from Simone Ashley at the F1 in Monaco. Idiot male with her jumps in shouting ‘no TV’.
Wow! Way to appeal to your fans Miss Stuck Up.— Paul Sweet (@slimlinesweet) May 29, 2022

If "Simone" has nothing to say about F1 why is she even on the grid. People like her should not be allowed a place on the grid and the place should be allocated to a true F1 fan who would give anything to be there and would at least speak for themselves.

I disagree, it’s her day off and she’s there to enjoy the experience and limited time she gets on the grid without someone shoving a mic in her face. I personally don’t watch F1 to hear opinions from ‘celebrities’

While many fans felt that Ashley was simply being rude, others believe nothing entitled the actress to give an interview. However, she is being held accountable for being cold to Brundle. Notably, the 27-year-old actress has recently catapulted to massive popularity after portraying the role of Kate Sharma in Netflix’s show, ‘Bridgerton’.

Further, we saw ‘Euphoria’ fame Jacob Elordi also hanging out with the actress. Elordi is also present in the video and we can see him smirking and arguably avoiding the conversation. Further, fans spotted the two actors near the Red Bull garage. Even in the video, we saw the two openly supporting team Red Bull while they stood next to Max Verstappen’s car.

Fortunately, this was a good day for the two stars. Red Bull’s Sergio Perez managed a sensational third career win. The race proved to be rather entertaining after an initial rain delay. Brilliant overtakes and strategic intelligence were up for everyone to see as it progressed.
Team Red Bull strengthened their hold over the 2022 season even more. As the current leaders of the table, this was their 4th consecutive win of the year.
