Hollywood star Brad Pitt recently spoke about Lewis Hamilton’s influence on the upcoming Apex F1. The American is starring in a movie produced by Hamilton, which is said to be a realistic depiction of the sport.
The movie is produced by Apple and will be broadcast on its platform. It stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a washed-up racer who comes out of retirement to prove himself. Part of the upcoming film was shot at the 2023 F1 British GP, with the reel car during the formation lap before the race.
In a conversation with F1 commentator Martin Brundle, Brad Pitt mentioned Lewis Hamilton’s involvement in the upcoming film, saying:
“Lewis, who is also our producer, is really intent on us being respectful of the sport, really showing it for what it is.”
The seven-time world champion will bring some of his experience to the film crew, ensuring the film captures the essence of the high speed of Formula 1. The Mercedes star will assist with the element of realism and will be an integral part of the film’s development.
While there’s still a long time to go for the movie’s release (end of 2024 or early 2025), fans are hoping to see Pitt and his crew on more racing weekends this year.
Lewis Hamilton gifted his last podium to the British fans at Silverstone
Lewis Hamilton expressed his deep gratitude to the British fans as he celebrated his impressive 14th podium finish at Silverstone during the 2023 Formula 1 British Grand Prix.
Despite the blistering pace set by Lando Norris in his McLaren and Max Verstappen in his Red Bull, Hamilton showed exceptional skill by climbing the standings, eventually taking a commendable third place.
The Briton had a disappointing qualifying session on Saturday and his chances of a podium finish were further diminished when he lost two places after running into turn three on the first lap.
However, fortune smiled on Hamilton as a safety car intervention occurred later in the race, giving him an opportunity to close in on Lando Norris’ McLaren, who finished second.
After his fourteenth podium appearance at Silverstone, Lewis Hamilton told David Coulthard at Parc Ferme after the race:
“I didn’t do that, the crowd did. Silverstone is an amazing show, we have the biggest crowd here so a big thank you to everyone. I felt the energy, I felt the support and that’s why we got the backup there.”
With Mercedes and McLaren slowly making their way into Red Bull, it will be exciting to watch their progress in the upcoming races.
