Martin Brundle believes Lando Norris is still firmly in the fight for the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship, but insists the McLaren driver cannot afford any more slip-ups like his costly weekend in Canada.

Speaking ahead of Norris’s highly anticipated home race at Silverstone which is under two weeks away, Brundle acknowledged that while the British Grand Prix will be an important moment, the title battle hinges on consistency rather than singular brilliance.

“He does [need a big result at Silverstone],” Brundle told Sky Sports at last night’s “He needs a big every Grand Prix, really, I think, because all the points count the same, whichever country you’re in.” Brundle told Sky Sports at last night’s ‘F1 Movie’ premiere in London

Brundle: Norris needs consistency

Norris has already produced some standout performances this season, with Brundle highlighting his “genius drives” in Melbourne and Monaco as proof of the 25-year-old’s championship-calibre talent. But the former F1 driver and commentator also pointed to the Canadian Grand Prix — where Norris retired after a collision with teammate Oscar Piastri — as the kind of weekend that could derail a title push.

“If he could do that [Melbourne, Monaco form] more frequently, he’s got a great chance of the World Championship,” Brundle said. “But he can’t afford weekends like he had in Canada — not that he needs telling, he knows that very well now.”

It is easy being green after all – if you’re two-time BAFTA winner Brad Pitt.

The Hollywood legend donned a verdant hue at the European premiere of F1 The Movie in London last night. He has a lead role in the sports drama, which sees a retired Formula One driver enticed out of retirement to help mentor a younger driver.

‌

And joined by his girlfriend Ines de Ramon, Pitt, 61, looked dapper in the green suit. He also embraced Tom Cruise on the red carpet as, although he is not in F1 The Movie, Cruise has shown his support for the epic blockbuster, which has a $200million (£148million) budget.

‌

Speaking previously, Pitt said Cruise was “so sweet” for backing the film, and when asked about working together again in a movie he said: “I am not going to hang my ass off airplanes like that…When he does something again that’s on the ground.”

Damson Idris, who has been in The Banshees Of Inisherin’s Kerry Condon and Snowfall, plays the young prodigy in the movie. He arrived at the Met Gala in a racing suit in May in homage to the film.

And, last night, he and the rest of the cast posed next to Formula One Ferrari driver Sir Lewis Hamilton, who was dressed in all black. Hamilton and the nine other F1 drivers in the 2023 season, such as Max Verstappen, will appear in the film, created in collaboration with the FIA, Formula One World Championship’s governing body.

Cruise, who worked with Pitt in the 1994 horror Interview With A Vampire, was snapped on the red carpet too. With F1 The Movie likely to be a dramatic, high-energy number, viewers could expect some stunts – though not as death-defying as Cruise’s scaling of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa skyscraper and riding a motorcycle off the edge of a cliff in the popular Mission: Impossible franchise. Pitt, whose own career has spanned more than three decades, showed his respect with warm embraces at the Leicester Square event.

Pitt, who has won two Golden Globe Awards, is known for films including Fight Club, 12 Years A Slave and Moneyball. The star has received six Oscar nominations, winning two including best actor in a supporting role for Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood.

He is also known for Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, in which he played Lieutenant Aldo Raine. Pitt, originally from Shawnee, Oklahoma, was formerly married to actress Angelina Jolie who he shares six children with. The pair split up after Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, which led to an eight-year legal battle with a settlement reached in December.
