Simone Ashley was supposed to be in the new F1 movie with Brad Pitt, but her part didn\u2019t make it into the final version.<\/p>\n

The Bridgerton<\/a> actress, known for playing Kate Sharma, was announced as part of the cast last year. People were excited to see her in the film with big stars like Brad Pitt and Damson Idris. She was even seen filming at real Formula One races. So, many expected her to have a big role.<\/p>\n

But now, as the film gets ready to hit cinemas next week, it turns out Simone\u2019s part was ultimately cut from the final film.<\/p>\n

So, why was Simone Ashley’s role cut from the F1 movie?<\/h2>\n
