Bring a seven-time Formula 1 world champion and a movie star together to race a film that already promises to be blockbuster.
From the track to the set,
Lewis Hamilton
never ceases to amaze, once again taking on a challenge other than that of speed.
Here then is the confirmation, arrived at the press conference ahead of the Azerbaijan GP, that the Englishman of Mercedes will work together with
Brad Pitt
: the two have reached an agreement with Apple
for 130 million dollars
for the making of a film in which the protagonist will be the American actor and will play a former F1 driver ready to raise a younger track colleague.
The film will be directed by
Joseph Kosinski
, currently in theaters with Top Gun, while Lewis Hamilton will participate in the project for now as a producer but surprises are not excluded as suggested in Baku by the British driver himself.
"It's true, I will make a film about Formula 1 with Brad Pitt - announced the Mercedes champion who is already very active in the field of fashion and always attentive to campaigns on the environment, rights and nutrition - For now I cannot say anymore, but I shouldn't appear. It's a great project and we're working on the script. It's fun - admits the Englishman - I
spend many hours with Brad, and it's exciting
. We want to keep the true spirit of racing intact. "
Yet another diversion for Hamilton, who after losing his title duel with Verstappen last year now seems less and less interested in his career on the track with his Mercedes which is seriously late this season than Red Bull and Ferrari.
And even in Baku Hamilton has always shown himself to be
attentive to fashion trends by
presenting himself to the paddock with another look of his, this time less extravagant but still very trendy and capable of attracting attention with a combination of colors between cream and fuchsia.
And the expectation of seeing him even in a film with one of his countless outfits already runs in the imagination of fans and enthusiasts.
