As a producer on the upcoming F1 movie starring Brad Pitt (releasing on june 27th), Lewis Hamilton is deeply invested in a project that merges his two lifelong passions: storytelling and motorsports.
What began as conversations with acclaimed director Joe Kosinski and legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer evolved into what Hamilton now proudly calls the “most authentic racing film ever made.”
When Hollywood Meets the Paddock
From the very beginning, Hamilton wasn’t a passive participant. He helped shape casting choices, discussed script details with Brad Pitt, and joined early creative meetings.
His role was hands-on and essential. “I remember meeting Brad and going through the script,” Hamilton told Formula1.com.
“Being part of the discussions with Apple and Formula 1 was surreal. Watching it come together has been one of the coolest things I’ve done.”
This F1 movie isn’t just about glitz and glamour—it’s a love letter to the sport, its people, and the adrenaline behind every lap.
For Hamilton, it was vital that the film reflect the reality of racing, down to the smallest sound and motion.
