The producer of the upcoming F1 movie has joked that Lewis Hamilton’s input “costs us more money” but was happy to have the seven-time World Champion on board.


However, Hamilton’s input has often added a few more dollars to the film’s budget as revealed by producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

“Lewis Hamilton is our partner in this, and he saw part of the movie yesterday,” he said at a meeting of Liberty Media investors. “And he gave us a critique of how the drivers actually do various things.

“Lewis could hear with his ear we were in the wrong gear.

“The level of specifics that he gave us – like in Silverstone in Turn 3, you’re in second gear, and he could hear with his ear we were in third gear. So it’s that kind of thing that he’s bringing to the movie.

Bruckheimer also revealed that Hamilton has been working specifically with Pitt on little details such as the immediate moments after a race.

“He said Brad, it’s a little too easy for him. So we’re going to make it a little harder. He said when he finishes a race, especially like Singapore, where it’s very hot, these guys can barely get out of the car.

“They’re so exhausted, they lose 10 pounds. And he said that he just has to lay down for five minutes before he can get up and do the press interviews that he has to do.

“And it’s not only him, it’s all of them. They’re just completely exhausted. We’re going to show what it takes to be an F1 driver.”
