Lewis Hamilton on working with Brad Pitt during the production of F1 film

Back in April, GQ released a video with Lewis Hamilton where the seven-time world champion talked about working with Brad Pitt for the F1 film. The Mercedes star is one of the executive producers in the film and helped both Pitt and Damson Irdis with how to drive cars around tracks.

Hamilton explained how he taught the Hollywood star how to brake and take the apex on a corner, and other aspects of racing. He also shared how both went to a racing track in Los Angeles where they drove racing cars.

"I've seen 'Interview with a Vampire' a thousand times, seen 'Top Gun' and all these great movies. Then to be standing with Brad and talking about racing and learning about racing, explaining to him the turning point to the braking point to apex and all these different things," Hamilton stated.

"Then being with Brad and seeing him drive in LA when we went to this track. I showed him around and nearly put the car in a wall. He's got a knack for it already, so he's just been working on honing that skill," he added.

The movie's name, F1, was recently announced and it is scheduled to be released in theatres on June 25, 2025, internationally and in the United States on June 27, 2025.
