Acclaimed producer Jerry Bruckheimer has expressed immense gratitude to seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton for his invaluable contributions to the forthcoming F1 blockbuster. Set to hit cinemas on June 25, 2025, the film, starring Brad Pitt as ‘Sonny Hayes,’ aims to immerse viewers in the high-stakes world of Formula 1 racing like never before, with Hamilton’s expertise ensuring an unprecedented level of authenticity.

Hamilton’s Eye for Detail Elevates Realism

Bruckheimer revealed that Hamilton’s insights have been instrumental in refining the film’s portrayal of the sport, right down to the minutiae of driver performance.

“Lewis Hamilton saw a part of it and gave us critiques on how drivers actually approach various aspects of racing,” Bruckheimer said. “The level of detail he provided, such as identifying by ear that Brad Pitt’s character was in third gear at Silverstone’s Turn 3 instead of second, is astounding.”

Hamilton’s feedback didn’t stop at technical driving specifics. He also shed light on the grueling physical demands of the sport.

“When he finishes a race, especially one as taxing as Singapore, he can barely get out of the car. Drivers lose up to 10 pounds in a race and are utterly exhausted,” Bruckheimer explained. “We’re going to show what it truly takes to be an F1 driver.”

Hamilton’s Influence Costs—but It’s Worth It

Hamilton’s pursuit of realism hasn’t come without challenges. According to Bruckheimer, implementing the changes Hamilton suggested has occasionally added to the production’s budget.

“Sometimes we don’t like to hear some of the things he says, because it costs us more money to fix things,” Bruckheimer admitted. “But we’re all in. We want to make it great, and he’s certainly helping us.”

F1 Drivers and Teams to Get a Sneak Peek

Before the film’s worldwide release, the completed project will be previewed for F1 drivers and teams at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix. This exclusive screening underscores the collaborative spirit between the film’s creators and the sport itself.

“Everything that Lewis has brought to this movie, I can’t even express our thanks,” Bruckheimer added. “His authenticity and insights are helping us bring the sport to life in a way audiences have never seen before.”

A Game-Changer for F1 on the Big Screen

With Hamilton’s involvement and the support of the F1 community, the film promises to set a new standard for motorsport movies. By capturing the intricacies and intensity of racing, coupled with the emotional and physical toll on drivers, this project could redefine how audiences perceive Formula 1.

For Hamilton, it’s not just a film—it’s a passion project, ensuring his legacy in the sport extends far beyond the racetrack.
