During the live broadcast, Martin Bundler, a well-known British journalist known for his pre-race grid walks, sought to chat with Brad Pitt about the race weekend in Austin, Texas. Brad Pit, on the other hand, appeared less eager to start a conversation and just said, “Thank you, man,” before shoulder-passing Brundle.
Here’s the viral clip of Brad Pitt snubbing Martin Bundler
When the clipping of the incident surfaced online, Twitter was taken by storm and Brad Pitt received immense backlash. One fan wrote, “I’m not sure I get Brad Pitt’s reasoning for not wanting to chat to Martin Brundle during the grid walk.” I mean, this is his chance to interact with the F1 fans who will see his F1 film.” Here’s how Twitter reacted;
For reference on F1TV our grid walk is always about the cars and the drivers. Who is where and why. If we grab an interview it is rarely with a “celeb” unless we know they are invested in the sport and available to chat. Because for us the celebs are the ones in the cars.

Brad Pitt.. the man starring in an F1 film won’t even stop for 30 seconds to speak to Martin Brundle… if you don’t wanna be interviewed, get off the grid and make way for people who do. #USGP #Formula1 @SkySportsF1 @MBrundleF1

Brad Pitt, you're doing a movie on F1 and don't know who Martin Brundle is? It's *the* grid walk. Stop and talk to him.

Brad Pitt isn’t the only one to snub Bundler. Earlier this year, “Briderton” star Simone Ashley and “Euphoria” actor Jacob Elordi both turned their backs on him. At the same time, Bundler had previously had reverse interactions with rapper Megan Thee Stallion and tennis champion Venus Williams. As a result, journalists being ignored by celebrities is nothing new.
