Max Verstappen has already explained that he doesn’t like the PR and Marketing side of F1. But he has to fulfill the responsibilities of the team. The drivers can go around the track at 200+ mph but when it came to Lewis Hamilton and Brad Pitt’s film venture at the British GP, Charles Leclerc’s worst talent came back to haunt him as fans make fun of it. What is this talent that haunts Leclerc?
As an F1 driver, exceptional driving is the most important skill required. But in the modern age of the Internet and Social Media, PR and Marketing cannot be avoided. Drivers have to keep up with the sponsors’ shoots and media activities. It’s safe to say that all F1 drivers are not blessed with acting talent. As if all this wasn’t enough m, the F1 driver now has to deal with Lewis Hamilton and Brad Pitt’s F1-themed movie being shot on race tracks.
what I am questioning with their filming at the actual races is like… are the actual F1 drivers extras? does no other driver in this movie get a speaking role? because I have seen some drivers try to act and if they tried to give Charles a line, the movie would fall apart pic.twitter.com/8a190isbyq

Many scenes for Hamilton’s passion project were shot at the British GP. In the pictures uploaded online, drivers can be seen next to the actors. It’s said the actors are going to be in the movie. However, it isn’t sure if they’ll have dialogues. @paddock2go uploaded a Tweet wondering the same and advised that if they give drivers a dialogue, especially Charles Leclerc, then the movie will fall apart.
Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz had previously shot a commercial for Shell. Let’s just say their acting wasn’t up to the standards expected from a regular human. Fans agreed with @paddock2go’s Tweet to make Leclerc’s worst talent haunt him. Let’s see what the fans had to say.

If Charles had a line, they would ask him to Box mid sentence and switch him to a harder line

Then there were those who remembered the Shell advert and suggested that those were their actual acting skills hence the movie might fall apart if they say a line in it.
