Lewis Hamilton talks about his experience with the F1 movie

In his interview with Ferrari Magazine, Hamilton spoke about his role behind the scenes of Brad Pitt’s Formula 1 film:

“I’m so happy with how it went. Being truly involved in the film and part of the creative process was incredible. Joe [Kosinski] came to me saying he wanted Brad Pitt, but at that time, we didn’t have him yet. I helped fill some gaps and stayed with the project right through to the end credits. I spent time in the editing room, watched sections of the movie on my laptop, and sent in my notes. I even met Hans Zimmer at his amazing studio in Santa Monica.”

The Ferrari driver now focuses on a new film project

Dawn Apollo Films will not stop at the Formula 1 movie. Lewis Hamilton already has several new ideas in mind, exploring different genres and platforms.

“We have a few ideas. I’m still figuring out the direction, but storytelling is something I have a real passion for. More than ever, we need stories that inspire people, especially in these difficult times.”

Among his future projects, Hamilton revealed that he also wants to work on a television comedy series and some animated films, showing a broad and cross-genre creative vision.

“I love comedy and I have a special idea for a TV series. We’re getting so many offers after the F1 movie, it’s crazy. But I don’t want to take on a thousand projects—I want to do what Quentin Tarantino does: focus on quality, not quantity.”
