Seven-time World Champions and Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton confirmed that a sequel to ‘F1:The Movie’ is indeed in the works, ahead of the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
The film, which was released last year, starring Brad Pitt as a seasoned veteran racer and Damson Idris as a rookie, went on to become a huge box-office success. The movie explores a multitude of aspects including the emotional tussle between the two racers.
“We are already working on the first script,” Hamilton confirmed
“We had our first meeting maybe mid-to-late the second part of the end of the year — me, Jerry and Joe talking about different ideas, different directions that we could go with the script,” he said.
“So it’s really exciting. I’m super excited. Now I’ve been through it, and it was already very intense the first time going. Now I’m used to it. So I know what to expect.”
Hamilton touched up on the success and reach the movie has had on the general population and the love fans from across the globe showered on the same.
“It’s been amazing to see how big an impact it’s had, how many people have loved the movie,” said Hamilton.
“I’m still getting texts from people who are still only just watching the movie and how it’s opened their eyes up to what this sport is about
“Sequels often aren’t always great. But we’ve got a great team, got a great cast, great writer. So I’m not concerned about that,” he continued.
“But we’re going to take our time and make sure we get it just the way it needs to be.”
When quizzed if he’d have a role in the movie, Hamilton reiterated his desire to stay in the background despite multiple offers to star in movies.
“I don’t really have a lot of desire to be on camera, and I’ve had loads of opportunities to be in movies.
“I really liked the idea of being in the background. It was an amazing experience, and it’s so much more enjoyable, I think, than actually being on camera.”
