Everybody feels a lot of love and feels included, which I think has been great“.
The Briton then added how F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has also played his part in helping his film crew shoot scenes in the paddock. Hamilton believes that the same “is huge” as it has never happened before in F1.
The 38-year-old then concluded his remarks by thanking everyone for being “progressive” and “advancing in a new way“. The most interesting thing about Hamilton‘s new project is the way they have used realism to show the scenes.
Brad Pitt leads actors in creating a realistic F1 film
Along with the help of Mercedes and team principal Toto Wolff, Brad Pitt along with the rest of the actors are working towards creating a realistic F1 film. Hence, the 59-year-old shot some scenes amidst the real F1 action.
Lewis Hamilton, who is co-producing the film, helped make all the arrangements with the help of Mercedes. Moreover, since Hamilton and Pitt want the movie to be as realistic as possible, the Hollywood actor was also sent to a driving school in France.
Wolff confirmed the same during one of his press conferences when he explained how Pitt was going through all the Formula cars from F4 to F2 to adapt to the G forces. Considering the kind of effort that has been put into this film, it promises to be a huge blockbuster.
