Max Verstappen has revealed that Formula 1 was “well aware” of his decision to miss the special screening of Brad Pitt’s new F1 movie on Wednesday. And the Red Bull driver has insisted that he carries no ill feeling towards the film,

He lives in Monaco not far from where the F1 movie starring Brad Pitt was specially screened for drivers ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, but Max Verstappen didn't make the short journey

The likes of Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Charles Leclerc were spotted on the red carpet but Verstappen was nowhere to be seen. He was one of just two drivers to skip the event, with Lance Stroll also choosing not to attend. As the screening took place, the Dutchman streamed himself playing video games online.
