Brad Pitt has been circling the Circuit of the Americas and researching for his new project. However, a recent incident at the US Grand Prix made the fans very unhappy.

Martin Brundle is considered to be the voice of Formula 1. The former F1 driver and commentator for ‘Sky F1’ is a giant in the sport. Pitt received backlash from F1 enthusiasts and even retired UFC fighter, Michael Bisping, for snubbing past the greatest F1 commentator on the tracks.

Recently, Formula 1 CEO, Stefano Domenicali, revealed that the Hollywood sensation will shoot a movie based on the sport in 2023, during the race weekends.

The actor pushed past Martin Brundle on the starting grid, stealthily avoiding the interview with just a couple of ‘thank yous’. Brundle began by introducing himself. The response was a “Thank you”. The commentator tried to ask Pitt about his shoot and the movie. Pitt replied, “No, not yet. Top secret” and walked on.

However, Brundle seemingly tried to question him further before one of Brad Pitt’s men put a hand on his shoulder, thereby stopping him. “Obviously they’re known as ‘Pitt stops’, if they don’t want you to talk to Brad Pitt”, quipped the F1 reporter.

The Hollywood star received scads of comments as the incident infuriated the F1 enthusiasts. Omid Scobie, a well-known journalist, tweeted about the actor not knowing about F1 even though he was working on a closely related project.

‘The Count’ said, “I thought he was very good in a lot of his movies. Snatch was incredible. Fight Club was another good one. The list goes on. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and, no doubt, Bullet Train is great. But if he suggested I am gonna be walking around in a f**king skirt this time next year, I will slap his face.”
