Butꦜ 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 invite to the premiere,” Lazenby explained during Australia🦂n Grand Prix practice coverage.
“Because, I think it was at Silverstone? We can probably ☂say it now tဣhat they’ve wrapped production…
“We wandered up – 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, saying that we had interrupted Mr. Pitt’s ‘process’.
“Apologies to Brad if he’s watching thi🍬s. That’s the reason we’re not going.”
Schiff 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.”

“We’ve seen a lot of what happens behi🦄nd the scenes. We’ve seen their🌠 big crews on the ground.
“But I just can’t wait to see ꩲwhat the movie is going to look like.”
Lazenby replied: “It looks amazing, 💧doesn’t it? We’re going to miss them thiꦫs year.”
Ferrari driver Hamilton, who was involved as a co-p💯roducer, 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 something you can just learn overꦯnight," Hamilton said.
"The dedication and the focus t🍬hat Brad put into this process has been amazing to witness."
Director Joseph Kosinski added: "If Brad can't drive, this whole film wasn't g🅰oing to work.
“And what Lewis was very happy to discover was that, you know, Brad had a lot of just natural abil🌌🐻ity 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 pulling this off."
