Actor Brad Pitt was criticized by many racers for causing trouble at the Rolex 24 race at the Daytona circuit, United States recently. Autoblog reported that Brad Pitt came to the circuit to continue filming a film about Formula 1 racers.
The presence of Brad Pitt and the film crew actually made it difficult for the racers. The racers’ resting place, the motorhome, was immediately filled with crew and filming equipment.
Not only that, security at the location is also very tight because of Brad Pitt’s status as a top actor. Unfortunately, this condition actually makes it difficult for racers to carry out their activities.
Scott McLaughlin, a Dallara-Chevrolet driver, admitted that he was detained so he couldn’t enter the area where his motorhome was located. The reason was trivial because he could not show the required identity card.
“How do I use my identity card, especially since I’m wearing a racing suit,” wrote Scott McLaughlin on his official X account.
Even the legendary British racer, Jenson Button, also complained. The presence of Brad Pitt and the film crew made the racers lack rest and sleep.
The reason is that the racing event time was extended to accommodate film shooting. In fact, the shooting time took longer than the race itself.
“The race was interesting, the only problem was lack of sleep and rest,” said Jenson Button.
It is known that Brad Pitt is currently involved in a film about a Formula 1 racer. The film will be released at the end of 2024 or early 2025. Previously, the CEO of Formula 1, Stefano Domenicali, said that the film, which was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, would be a very innovative film. in terms of technology and cinema production. “This is also the best way to show that Formula 1 never stops innovating,” explained Stefano Domenicali.
