Bu𓆏t a special preview for the movie will not be available to♛ Simon Lazenby, Naomi Schiff and Jenson Button.
“Not sure we are going to get an in♓vite to the premiere,” Laz☂enby explained during Australian Grand Prix practice coverage.
“B🏅ecause, I think it was at Silverstone? We can probably say it now that they’ve wrapped production…
“We wandered ꦬup – myself, Naomi and Jenson – to Brad at the front of the grid.
“Tried to get a selfie… then the note came back to us, a little bit later on, say🌌ing that we had interrupt𓄧ed Mr. Pitt’s ‘process’.
“Apologies to Brad if he’s 🅷watching this. That’s the reason we’re not going.”
Schi🍷ff said: “I think it’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’ve seen their big crews on the ground.
“But I just can’t wait to ꦕsee what the movie is going to look like.”
Lazenby replied: “It looks amazing, doesn’t it? We’re going to miss ෴them this🅠 year.”
Ferrari driver Hamil🦄ton, who was involved as a co-producer, praised Pitt’s driving ability.
"Watching Brad drive around at speeds over 180 miles an hour was rea🌳lly impres𝓰sive to see because it's not something you can just learn overnight," Hamilton said.
"The dedication and theඣ focus that Brad put into this process has been amazing to witness."
Director Joseph Kosinski added: "If 𒀰Brad can't 🌳drive, this whole film wasn't going to work.
“And what Lewis was very happy to discover was that, you know, Brad had a lot of just natural๊ ability right from th🐟e start.
"I don't know where he got that. He rides motorcycles, which I thin♕k has something to do with it.
“But he's just a very talented, naturally gifted driver. Which gave Lewis a lot of confidence that we𒐪 might have a shot at pulling this off."
