Lewis Hamilton Reveals Hustle Behind ‘Best Racing Movie Ever’ With Hollywood Icon Brad Pitt

Lewis Hamilton is ready to make his mark and conquer the world of entertainment now. The 7-time F1 world champion has confirmed that he is producing a movie featuring Brad Pitt that would be based around F1.

The Mercedes driver mentioned he would be involved in the scripting process and will produce the movie. He mentioned he is very excited and has been meeting with several Hollywood production houses over the years to gain knowledge.

“I spent like last six years, five years probably in Los Angeles, having meetings with a lot of different production companies. Trying to get a better understanding of the background or what’s happening, you know how to go about putting together a movie. Brad [Pitt] is the star, and it’s been an honor to meet and engage with him.

And Joseph Kosinski, for example, did an amazing movie, the Top Gun. We’re working together. My role is to try to make sure that it’s the best racing movie ever been created,” said the Formula 1 veteran.

The F1 legend mentioned that he is a driver and has no interest in acting. He explained he wants the movie to be good and not ruin it by making his acting debut alongside a Hollywood legend.

“I don’t plan to be in it, no. Really, my responsibility and something that I take on is just making sure that the cast and the crew in the background are diverse. But we’re not actors. … We don’t want this movie to be cr*p, which is probably why I’m not going to be part of it also,” explained Hamilton.
