Simon Lazenby tells a tale of a self෴ie attempt with Brad Pitt at Silverstone

Sky Sports F1’s presenters have explained how a 🉐selfie attempt with Bra꧒d Pitt went badly wrong.
The official trailer for the Hollywood movie starring Pitt, called ‘F1’, dropped on the eve of the 2025 season-opening Australian Grand 🐻Prix.
Mega-star Pitt stars as a veteran driver returning for another shot at glory, in a movie where 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton worked as a producer.

But a special preview🅰 for the movie w෴ill not be available to Simon Lazenby, Naomi Schiff and Jenson Button.
“Not sure we are going to get an invite to the premiere,” Lazenby explaine✅d during Australian Grand Prix practice coverage.
“Because, I think it was at Silverstone? We can probably saౠy it now that they’ve wrapped 𝕴production…
“We wandered up – myself,﷽ Naomi and Jenson – to Brad at the f🍰ront of the grid.
“Tried to get a selfie… then the note came back to us, a little bit later on, 💞saying that we had interrupted Mr. Pitt’s ‘process’.
“Apologies to Brad if he’s w🌊atching this. That’s the reason we’re 𝔉not going.”
Schiff said: “I ꦓthink i♛t’s fair to say we’re not going to make the cut!
“We tried to get in the back of the scene.”

Schiff said: “Doesn’t it look great?
“We’ve seen a lot of what happens behind the scenes. We’v♓e seen their big crews on the ground.
“But I just can’t wait to see what the 𝄹movie🍷 is going to look like.”
Lazenby replied: “It looks amazing, doesn’t iꦿt? We’re going to miss them this year.”
F🅰errari driver Hamilton, who was involved as a co-producer, praised Pitt’s driving ability.
"Watching Brad drive around at speeds over 180 miles an hour was really impressive to see because it's not somethi𝔍ng you can just learn overnight," Ha🐲milton said.
"The dedication and the focus that Brad put into this process has been ꦡamazing to witness."
Director Joseph Kosinski ꦑadded: "If Brad can't driv🐲e, this whole film wasn't going to work.
“And what Lewis was v🐻ery happy to discover was ജthat, you know, Brad had a lot of just natural ability right from the start.
"I don't know where he got that. He rides motorcycles, which 🦩I think has something to do with it.
“But he's just a very talented, naturally gifted driver. Which gave Lewis a lot of confidence that we might have a shot at pull🌟ing this off."
