F1, a film that was co-produced by Lewis Hamilton, is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 27. In the movie, Brad Pitt plays the role of a Formula One racer who has retired and is now attempting to coach a rookie driver, who is portrayed by Damson Idris.
Hamilton was not only a co-producer on paper; rather, he was fully involved in the process of production, paying great attention to every detail to ensure that the picture appeared as genuine and realistic as possible. Pitt has now revealed this information.
Brad Pitt on Lewis Hamilton’s involvement in making of F1 ?
Brad Pitt competes in Formula One by driving genuine racing cars on real race courses. Pitt was described by Motorsport.com as saying, When Lewis (Hamilton) came on, then it was a go. This statement was made in reference to the contribution that the Formula One champion made to the film.
For me, it was nothing more than a straightforward phone call. I will never forget the moment when we sat down for the very first time; my memory of that moment is less about racing and more about simply being with a remarkable human being. There is a reason, I believe, that champions are formed, and it is not only because of skill.
He continued by saying, It's also how they carry themselves and how they face the world." He was praising Hamilton further. And he is a true gentleman and a precious jewel. Very, very seriously. On top of that, you have to consider the knowledge that he brought to this matter.
There would be around twelve hours in a day that he would grant to us. The only thing we did was sit down and ask him questions and queries, such as "What about this?" He was a significant contributor to the formation of both us and this picture.
At the grand premiere of Formula One, which took place in Times Square in New York City, Pitt recently joined Hamilton. Joseph Kosinski, who is perhaps best known for his work in Top Gun: Maverick, is the director of F1. The film features cameo appearances from a number of Formula One drivers from the 2024 season, including Charles Leclerc and George Russell, among others.
Lewis Hamilton's career in Formula One?
After making the transition from Mercedes, where he had spent more than a decade, Hamilton is still trying to win his first Grand Prix of the season while driving for Ferrari.
The individual, who is forty years old, is still getting used to his brand-new automobile, which has been customized to meet his requirements.
Although he was victorious in the Formula One Sprint race in China, he has not yet been able to turn that triumph into a victory in a Grand Prix race this year. At the moment, he holds the sixth position in the Formula One Driver Standings with 79 points. He is one slot behind his colleague Charles Leclerc, who has 104 points and has finished on the podium three times so far.
Following their brief contact with one another at the frantic beginning of the Italian Grand Prix, Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia were called to the MotoGP race director for further investigation.
During the first few circuits of the race in Mugello, Marc Marquez, Bagnaia, and Alex Marquez were involved in a fierce competition for the lead. The most notable moment of this competition was when the two factory Ducat riders collided at Turn 5 on the third lap.
Bagnaia collided with Marc Marquez's back wheel with his front wheel, causing an incident that did not result in any repercussions. Both riders stayed mounted on their GP25 motorcycles, and Alex Marquez took advantage of the collision to temporarily take the lead in the race.
Due to the intense nature of the altercation, the race director made the decision to summon both factory Ducati riders to provide an explanation about the maneuver. Due to the fact that the summons was centered on having a conversation with the riders about the event rather than a potential punishment, neither rider was the subject of an inquiry.
The Italian was the to begin with to talk, whereas Marc did so afterward after his media appearances. This was due to the fact that Marquez was present at the formal podium news conference, whilst Bagnaia was unable to participate due to his fourth-place result during the race.
Marquez provided an explanation of his feelings over the occurrence and attempted to minimize the gravity of the situation. He expressed, I was trusting to remain calm and let the laps go by, but Pecco was exceptionally courageous and begun with a part of desire. According to Bagnaia, Today, in general, they did not penalize anything, and that was quite clear in Moto3, so I believe that it was just a clarification.
I do not know what they said to Marc, but for me it was typical contact: he fair held up to open the throttle since he didn't need me to cut in replied. It was normal contact.
After Marc Marquez won his fifth amazing prix of the season, he moved into a 40-point lead over his brother Alex in the championship. Bagnaia is now 110 points behind the top of the standings, and he is now in third position.
