Brad Pitt, who’s shooting a film here, was asking for me so I went to him and gave him my autograph. He asked me what it’s really like to be an F1 driver so I started swearing at him in a realistic way. I have no fucking clue why but the shoots have been postponed.🤔#BritishGP pic.twitter.com/DzSIJ9k2af
