Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have filmed new content with Turkish actor Engin Akyürek for an upcoming Shell video. The production brings Ferrari’s two Formula 1 drivers together with Akyürek in a creative setting away from their usual work at the circuit.
The collaboration features all three participants taking part in a tabletop activity involving paintbrushes, small pots of colour and an ornate decorative object. Although the finished video has not yet been released, the setting points towards a more informal and culturally focused piece of content rather than a conventional Formula 1 performance feature.
Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc join Engin Akyürek for Shell video
Both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc took part in the filming while wearing Ferrari team clothing carrying Shell branding. Engin Akyürek appeared between the two drivers in a Shell V-Power shirt as they worked together on the activity prepared for the production.
The precise format and storyline of the upcoming Shell video have not been disclosed. However, the involvement of both Ferrari race drivers ensures that it will offer supporters a rare opportunity to see Hamilton and Leclerc interacting together outside the structured environment of a Grand Prix weekend.
Rather than centring on the cars, garage operations or technical development, the filmed sequence places the participants around a shared table. Leclerc appears closely engaged with the decorative piece, while Hamilton and Akyürek are also involved in the activity. The approach gives the production a relaxed character without revealing exactly how the sequence will be used in the completed video.
Ferrari collaboration reaches a wider audience
Engin Akyürek’s presence gives the project a clear connection with a Turkish audience. The actor is the only figure from outside Ferrari included in the material released from the filming, making his collaboration with Hamilton and Leclerc the central point of interest beyond Formula 1.
Bringing the two Ferrari drivers together is also significant for supporters of the Maranello team. Brand productions do not always feature both members of a driver pairing in the same activity, and this video will place Hamilton and Leclerc alongside one another in a setting built around conversation and participation rather than competition.
The material does not establish whether the creative task has a specific cultural meaning, so it would be premature to identify the ornate object or describe the exact purpose of the painting activity. What can be established is that the sequence forms part of new Shell content featuring Akyürek and the Ferrari pair.
Release details for the upcoming Shell video remain unconfirmed

No publication date, video title or distribution platform has yet been specified. It is therefore unclear whether the finished production will be released as one complete film, a shorter social-media campaign or a collection of separate clips.
Further details should become available when Shell begins promoting the completed project. Until then, the confirmed involvement of Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and Engin Akyürek offers the first indication of a new collaboration combining Ferrari’s current Formula 1 line-up with one of Turkey’s actors.
For Ferrari fans, the principal attraction will be the chance to watch Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc together in a different environment. The forthcoming Shell video should reveal the context behind their creative activity and how Engin Akyürek’s role connects with the wider concept of the production.
