The Fresh Prince Will Smith has not had the best of times post his impulsive outburst that led to physical violence against Chris Rock. Will Smith has not been a stranger to the F1 world. His most popular involvement was in a PR activity involving him and Lewis Hamilton. In the 2018 finale of the Abu Dhabi GP, the Mercedes clan posted a hilarious video of Smith secretly wanting to replace Hamilton in the cockpit.

The F1 paddock regular publicly apologized for slapping Rock during the Oscars ceremony and has been relatively away from the limelight and social media. However, the King Richard star has been trying to get back to his normal ways by bringing back life to his social media. Recently, he was spotted in a very unusual place on the Jeddah grid. And fans were quick to call him out, recalling the ‘out of line’ slap gate incident.

In a reel posted on his official Instagram account, the Oscar winner is seen standing near the wall at the grid. He looks into the camera and shouts, “We might be a little too close.” Then trying to squeeze his feet behind the line he looks back at the camera and asks, “am I behind the line” to which the cameraman filming the situation replies, “barely” and the clip ends with Smith mouthing “wow” after the F1 cars roar past him.
