Sir Lewis Hamilton has become a major driving force in Hollywood, to help steer Brad Pitt’s new motor racing movie into pole position at the box office.
Britain’s Grand Prix icon joined Pitt’s team last year as a consultant and co-producer of the big-budget action film F1, which is expected in cinemas in June 2025.
And director Joseph Kosinski, 50, has revealed the seven-time world champion, 39, has proved a real winner in the advisory role.
The film-maker said: “Lewis has been an incredible partner. He jumps on Zooms with me between races to go through the script line by line to make sure we are getting the details right. On a creative and story level, he also has input.
“He’s the first person I contacted three years ago and I knew that to make it as authentic as possible, someone on the team who lives it day-in and day-out would be invaluable.”
In F1, Pitt, 60, plays a driver forced into retirement after a horrific crash, who returns to mentor a rookie prodigy.
