F1 drivers were treated to a special private screening of the upcoming F1 movie. However, not all of them saw fit to make an act of presence, with Max Verstappen and Lance Stroll skipping the event altogether. It was special event as all drivers were invited to a special screening of the F1 movie starring Brad Pitt, Damson Idris and Javier Bardem.
Of course, as one of the film's producers,
Lewis Hamilton, made an appearance. With
George Russell,
Andrea Kimi Antonelli,
Lando Norris,
Oscar Piastri,
Fernando Alonso and
Charles Leclerc among the notable names to also be present at the event.
Verstappen opted to premiere new name instead of watching "F1" the movie
The location was not an obstacle since the filmed was shown at a movie theatre in Monaco, where the Dutchman resides with girlfriend Kelly Piquet, daughter and step-daughter Lily and Penelope.
It is not a secret that Verstappen is not a fan of the F1 movie, with the Dutchman stating as much on numerous occasions. This time it was no different as he chose to premiere his new username on twitch during team redline's livestream: @FranzHermann69.
Lance Stroll was not spotted at the event. The reasons why are not yet known. But he will probably be asked regarding his absence during the media day at the start of the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.
All drivers save for Verstappen and Stroll present at "F1" the movie's screening!
