Lewis Hamilton is producing a movie based on Formula 1, which will star Brad Pitt. Now, the seven-time world champion wants Fernando Alonso to be inspired by that movie as the former has his own vested interests.
In WSJ accelerate summit ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Hamilton said he wants the 41-year-old race driver to get inspired by Brad Pitt, not because it’s his work but to have Alonso in F1 for years to come as the Mercedes star doesn’t want to be the oldest on the grid.
“Maybe he could inspire Alonso to go longer because I don’t want to be the oldest,” said Lewis Hamilton in a video posted by a Twitter user Stefanie as 59-year-old Pitt will appear in the movie. Alonso still going strong at this age is remarkable, but Hamilton is also not far away. But surely, he doesn’t want the ‘oldest tag’.

Lewis Hamilton movie to have some real-life action
Hamilton’s movie is still under production, but its hype is increasing daily. Meanwhile, even the seven-time world champion doesn’t want to leave any stone unturned in the movie’s creation.
It’s been reported that some shooting will happen in the upcoming British Grand Prix. So, it can capture some real-life F1 drivers in action for the movie, and maybe some could even turn up for cameos.

This movie would be Hamilton’s debut in cinema. Though he did a cameo in Cars 2, the movie he’s currently working on is his baby. Thus, it will kickstart his career in Hollywood, as earlier he told about his desire to be a movie producer.
In Miami to vie for the P2
While the movie project is ongoing, Hamilton has other matters to deal with. The Mercedes star with his team has flown to the United States to compete in the upcoming Miami Grand Prix.
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix wasn’t a repetition of the success Mercedes saw in Australia, but the Silver Arrows seem to be in a better position. However, no way they are challenging Red Bull for the title.

So, the best they are thinking is to beat Aston Martin and Ferraro for the runner-up spot. In this task, the race in Miami will be important. On top of that, Hamilton has also marked Emilia Romagna Grand Prix as important as the Brackley-based team would introduce some significant upgrades to W14.
