Lewis Hamilton talks about his F1 film: 'Showing how great this sport is'

Lewis Hamilton evoked the film project, relating to the world of Formula 1 with Brad Pitt starring, which he will co-produce. At a press conference at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the driver Mercedes did not wish to say much… “ I can't really talk about it because it hasn't been officially announced yet, but it's something we're working on, behind the scenes. I'm super excited about this project, which took a long time to come to fruition. Am I going to star in the film? No, that's not planned. The start date of filming? I can't give you this information... But this project is really cool. We are currently working on the script, and I am very involved in its writing. I spent a lot of time with Brad (Pitt), it was great. In this project, my responsibility lies in ensuring that the cast and crew come from diversity. This is something I had insisted on from the beginning. If you've watched racing films, you can't necessarily say that they were all spectacular. We want to change that. We want to show how great this sport is, not only for newbies but also to maintain the legacy of the spirit of racing. This is part of my role.«

Asked about the possibility of inviting and involving drivers from the grid Formula 1 in this film project, Lewis Hamilton kicked in. “ I'm sure we'll need pilots! But we must remember that this is not MY film, it is a film for all of us. There are many people in the field who help us train those who work on this film. But we're not actors, so we don't want this film to be a disaster! We don't want bad actors, that's one of the reasons you won't see me (laughs). "
