Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari on stage prior

Anticipation is building ahead of the release of F1 The Movie – on June 25 internationally and June 27 in North America – and one person who is especially excited for fans to see the film is Lewis Hamilton.

 

After acting as a producer on the motion picture, the seven-time World Champion has been opening up on the “incredible learning process” involved, his experiences of working with Brad Pitt, and why he believes it will be the “most authentic racing movie that’s ever been made”…

 

Tell me about stepping into your role as a producer on F1 The Movie and what it means to bring Formula 1 racing to the big screen in a way that’s never been seen before?

 

Coming on board to this project as a producer has been such an incredible learning process for me, seeing what goes into making a feature film, and there’s been a lot of learning on the other side too as everyone has got to grips with Formula 1.

 

 

I’ve always loved film and telling stories, and I’ve loved this sport since I was five years old, so when I got the opportunity to speak with Joe Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer about the project, it felt like the two worlds I’m passionate about coming together.

 

I remember in the early days of the project I got to meet with Brad and go through the script, join meetings with the teams at Apple and Formula 1, and be part of some of the early casting processes. From those first conversations, to watching it all come together, it’s just been a super cool experience and I can’t wait for everyone to see it!

 

Why will this be the most authentic racing film of all time?

 

The access we’ve had to Formula 1 is totally unheard of, we actually filmed on race weekends with the film’s 11th team – APXGP, and you’ll definitely see that authenticity come through in the film.

 

The footage filmed throughout the racing calendar will be blended into the movie and augmented with digital techniques to insert the movie’s team cars in the actual race footage, so it will seem really realistic for fans of the sport.

 

But they’ve really welcomed my insights into the smaller details too, like the sounds a car would make when it’s at a certain position on the track, or the way a crash might happen. It’s what Joe [Kosinski, director] and Jerry [Bruckheimer, producer] wanted from the start, to make the most authentic racing movie that’s ever been made.

F1 The Movie will be release internationally on June 25 and on June 27 in North America

You mention filmmakers Joe Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer, who together reached new cinematic heights with Top Gun: Maverick. How will F1 The Movie build on that track record?

 

I grew up seeing Jerry’s name come up on screens at the cinema and he’s such a legend, so to finally be in a room and working with him was such an honor.

 

He’s still so enthusiastic, even with all the accolades and all the success he’s had, he’s just so passionate about what he does and that’s been so inspiring to see. And I was really, really impressed by Joe and how he works, his laser focus, his ideas, his eye for how to capture things.

 

As a producer on the film, what innovations did you witness that would make this film unlike any other racing film in history?

 

Developing technology. Camera placement. Some of what they used with the fighter jets on Top Gun: Maverick, Joe brought part of that technology to this, and his team and our cinematographer Claudio Miranda, working with Apple, took it to another level.

 

They developed this camera system and it’s so different, so much more advanced than what you’re watching when you watch a race during the weekend. The footage is much more raw, so when you’re watching the film you really feel like you’re in the car and going at super high speeds.

Tell me about working with Brad Pitt – he’s a fellow producer as well as starring in the movie.

 

I never thought I would get to work with Brad Pitt. I’m a huge fan of his films, and I think the first time I met him was in Jerry’s office over Zoom, which was crazy enough, but then we got to go to a track and I learned how much he’s into motorsport, particularly bikes, and saw the natural ability he had behind the wheel. It was really cool.

 

I remember us both standing at Silverstone circuit, at Copse, and I was showing him the things that I look for when I’m going into that corner, and we were talking about the fact that ultimately drivers are elite athletes and there is so much that goes into racing that you don’t see; the G-force and everything that our bodies go through, the rigorous training we have to do to be able to do these races.

 

He was really interested in that level of insight so he could bring as much authenticity as possible to his role.

How does Brad embody the role of this veteran driver, Sonny Hayes?

 

I think he’s done an amazing job. He really brings a huge amount to the character of Sonny as a driver, but also to how his character nurtures an up-and-coming underdog.

 

For racing drivers, it’s important to work as a team but ultimately every other driver on track is your competition – even your team mate. So, there’s a real fine line and I think you get to see that play out between these two characters played by Brad and Damson [Idris].

 

Part of the authenticity in the film is that you have Brad and Damson really driving these cars at real races. Why was that important to you as a filmmaker?

 

I think having Brad and Damson drive was integral to the authenticity of the story because, through my career, I would tell people how difficult it is in the race, and they’re like, “How much weight did you lose” or “What bruises do you have after a race?” or “What? You don’t have AC in the car?”

 

It’s super demanding. And yeah, we can lose up to 10 pounds within the race. So, I think having these two actors go through the process of the mental challenges that we go through as racing drivers – the speed in which you’re processing information, the affect on the body, how strong the brakes are, the G-forces…

I think it was really important for them because you can’t fake that. If you’ve not experienced it, you can’t imagine. By driving these cars – and they both did a great job – I think both of them got a real appreciation for what being a racing driver really means, and that’s what you get to see in the film.

 

He was asked by Ferrari to let team-mate Charles Leclerc through in the first stint, was undercut by Russell at the second round of stops, and then was overtaken by Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg after a late Safety Car had closed the pack up.

 

And Sky Sports F1 pundit Rosberg said after seeing Hamilton’s post-race interview: “It’s hard to watch.

 

“Sunday was a horrible day for him because he was just slow out there, which is very unusual,

 

“Yes, sometimes he’s been a little bit off in qualifying but in races he’s usually really awesome and the race was shockingly bad.

 

Lewis Hamilton shared some short answers after a 'really bad day' at the Spanish Grand Prix, which saw the Ferrari driver finish sixth.

“He doesn’t have answers either. Was there damage on the floor? These floors are so sensitive and there can always be a bit there and you lose a lot of time. Or what was going on?

 

“When you don’t have any answers, it’s really tough as a driver and then you see your team-mate race their way to third place on the podium. In light of the whole season he’s had so far, it’s a very dark situation.”

 

Although Hamilton suggested his race-day struggles in Spain were “probably just me”, Ferrari team boss Frederic Vasseur did reveal afterwards that “we had an issue on the car the last stint, before the Safety Car”. The Frenchman did not elaborate on what the issue on the SF-25 was, adding that “we’ll look into it”.

 

Hamilton had said to engineer Riccardo Adami over team radio at the end of the race: “There’s something wrong with this car, mate. It’s the worst it’s ever been.”

 

‘There’s something missing’ – Rosberg’s verdict on Hamilton’s start at Ferrari

With Ferrari’s hopes of mounting a challenge for both world championships quickly not materialising this season amid their 17-year title drought, Hamilton is sixth in the Drivers’ Championship after nine races – 23 behind fifth-placed team-mate Leclerc, who claimed his second successive podium in Spain.

 

 

Highlights of the Spanish Grand Prix from the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya

Last Saturday was just the second time in nine attempts that Hamilton had outqualified Leclerc for a Grand Prix, while he has still only beaten the Monegasque once in a full race.

 

And Rosberg, a childhood friend of Hamilton’s in karting turned Mercedes team-mate and ultimately fierce title rival, said: “It’s been a difficult start so far, a continuation of the form he had last year which was the first time in his career he had a dip in form for the whole season.

 

“George Russell beat him last year and Leclerc has taken over from Russell, always a bit ahead of Lewis, who hasn’t found his way yet.

 

“There’s something missing. He’s not connecting with the car yet and still a bit on the backfoot but the car is a handful.

“Lewis’ strengths in this stage of his career is his race pace, which we saw in Imola when he started 12th and finished fourth with blistering pace. It was amazing to watch.

 

“But, he’s 40 and at some point, it’s all about the speed of processing in our brains, the reaction time in qualifying.

 

“At some point you will get ever so slightly slower and it will happen to Lewis sooner rather than later.”

Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton are struggling at Ferrari in the 2025 Formula 1 season. The duo are not currently living up to the expectations set upon them over the winter.

 

The Maranello outfit narrowly missed out on their first title since 2008 last season, finishing just 14 points behind McLaren in the constructors’ standings. Entering 2025 with arguably the strongest driver pairing in history, Ferrari fans demanded the championship from the team.

 

However, the famous red team have struggled to perform and get the SF-25 into the right operating window. Ferrari are already 177 points behind McLaren heading into the Spanish Grand Prix.

Hamilton is suffering a ‘chronic lack of confidence’ in the front end of the SF-25 as he struggles to find the right balance in the car. Ferrari are running out of time to improve the car, with the 2026 F1 regulations on the horizon.

 

Ferrari will give up on 2025 immediately if their new suspension updates are unsuccessful. The Spanish Grand Prix presents an opportunity for the team to catch McLaren with the FIA’s flex-wing directive, but the mood within the camp is not one of optimism.

Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were ‘tough’ to interview at the Spanish Grand Prix

Morale is low at Ferrari as they struggle to find solutions to their woes. The team are hoping to improve with the new front wing regulations in Barcelona, but the drivers do not seem confident about a drastic change to the pecking order.

 

Hamilton does not know why Toto Wolff thinks Ferrari will improve with a new front wing, having found it made no difference to the car in the simulator.

 

 

Ferrari could struggle at the Spanish GP due to how aero-dependent the circuit is. The SF-25 could return to its ‘problematic’ self after displaying some encouraging signs last weekend in Monaco, with Leclerc finishing second.

 

Journalist Rachel Brookes noticed Leclerc and Hamilton were not confident at all on media day in Barcelona. Speaking during FP1 on Sky Sports F1 (30/5, 12:39pm), she found it ‘tough interviewing’ the Ferrari duo as they took time answering questions.

 

“I spoke to both drivers yesterday and it’s tough interviewing them at the moment because they seem to be really feeling like they’re off the pace and the answers aren’t imminent,” she said.

 

Nico Rosberg assesses ‘horrible’ Ferrari form ahead of Spanish GP

Monaco was a strong improvement from Ferrari, which came as a surprise to the team. David Croft says he will never believe Leclerc again after he said the team were ‘rubbish’ in low-speed corners; he went on to top every practice session and line up on the front row.

 

But the Monaco GP could be a one-off for the team, having generally lacked pace compared to their rivals. Even Williams have come close to challenging Ferrari, with Albon battling Hamilton and Leclerc in Miami and Imola.

Hamilton and Leclerc were knocked out in Q2 at Imola alongside home hero Kimi Antonelli. While they did recover in the race to finish fourth and sixth, it highlights the mountain the team have to climb to improve their fortunes.

 

Hamilton’s former Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg offered his assessment on the situation, saying he was not surprised to see the mood so low, given their current form.

 

“Well yeah, they’ve had a rough couple of races. I mean if you look at Imola when they were in qualifying, they didn’t even make the top 10. That’s horrible, at their home race,” he said.

 

Damon Hill Lewis Hamilton Formula 1 F1 world championship PlanetF1

Damon Hill has weighed in on whether or not Lewis Hamilton deserved an eighth championship.

 

Does Lewis Hamilton deserve to keep his 2008 World Championship? Should he have nabbed a title in 2007? And did he deserve a championship in 2021?

 

Fans and pundits can debate these questions without end — and in fact, 1996 World Champion Damon Hill has weighed in on this very topic in a recent edition of the High Performance Podcast.

 

Hill weighs in on Lewis Hamilton 2008 title

There’s no question that Lewis Hamilton has made his mark as one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time. Matching Michael Schumacher’s impressive seven championships, the Briton may be struggling to find his footing with Ferrari, but he’s already made his mark on the sport.

 

1996 World Champion Damon Hill recently joined the High Performance Podcast, where he was asked about his opinion on Formula 1’s two seven-time World Champions: Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher.

 

Interestingly, Hill declined to comment as he noted that it’s challenging to compare statistics of two drivers from such distinct eras.

 

But he did turn the conversation elsewhere. Hill wanted to discuss the eighth World Championship that Hamilton failed to score in 2021.

 

“That eighth title that did not happen, perhaps should have happened,” he noted.

 

“But on the other hand, perhaps he should have lost [in 2008] with Felipe Massa.

 

“But I think he should have won in his first year as well.”

 

Hill is referring to a slew of controversial titles involving Hamilton.

 

First is 2007, which was Hamilton’s rookie year. Racing for McLaren, he was quick right out of the gate, scoring six pole positions, taking four wins, and finishing on the podium in his first nine races — only to lose out on the title to Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen by a single point.

 

Hamilton had led the championship until the final two races of the year, when he suffered a retirement and a seventh-place finish. Many feel that Hamilton should have easily swept that title, but his team let him down when it mattered most.

 

However, Hill isn’t so sure that Lewis Hamilton should have taken home the 2008 World Championship — and sure enough, runner-up Felipe Massa is challenging that result in court.

 

The issue centers around the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix; there, Renault driver Nelson Piquet Jr. intentionally crashed into the wall to allow his teammate Fernando Alonso to gain the lead. Piquet didn’t reveal the intentional nature of the accident until 2009 — but former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone admitted that he and then-FIA president Max Mosley had been informed of the fixed nature of the race during the 2008 season.

 

Massa was on track to bring home a hefty points haul in Singapore — until Piquet’s accident. As a result, Massa lost out on the title to Hamilton by just a single point come the end of the year.

 

And that all brings us to the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Hamilton and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen entered the race with equal points, but a controversial decision from race control to bypass regular restart procedures to send the field off for a one-lap dash to the finish resulted in Verstappen bringing home his first F1 title.

 

Reflecting on Abu Dhabi 2021 allowed Hill to share his perspective on both Hill and Verstappen.

 

“They are different types of racers,” he explained.

 

“I don’t think even Lewis really knows how big his natural talent is. He is naturally gifted and has an extraordinary talent for driving and a passion for racing. He still wants to race.

 

“I think it’s mainly personality differences between them. Lewis was able to compete from the start, just like Max.

 

“Max is a more aggressive driver than Lewis on track. Lewis has done something every now and then, but that’s much rarer.”

Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton facing the media in Monaco

 

Lewis Hamilton’s confusion at the Monaco Grand Prix stemmed from his misinterpretation of race engineer Riccardo Adami’s message that “this is our race,” PlanetF1.com has learned.

 

After claiming his best result in Ferrari colours with fourth place at the recent Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola, Hamilton’s familiar F1 2025 frustrations returned at Monaco last weekend.

 

 

 

The seven-time World Champion crashed in the closing minutes of final practice on Saturday, leaving his mechanics with a frantic repair job ahead of qualifying.

 

Hamilton went on to secure an impressive fourth on the road in Q3, albeit more than three tenths slower than team-mate Charles Leclerc, before being hit with a three-place grid penalty for impeding Max Verstappen at Massenet.

 

Forced to start seventh, behind Isack Hadjar’s Racing Bulls car and the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso, Hamilton endured a disappointing race to fifth, more than 51 seconds adrift of the race-winning McLaren of Lando Norris.

 

Hamilton cut a confused figure after the race, admitting that he “didn’t really understand” a radio message from Adami with the communication “not very clear.”

 

The relevant interaction came on Lap 17 of 78, one lap before the first of Hamilton’s two mandatory pit stops, when the driver asked: “What do you need from me?”

 

Adami replied: “And push now. This is our race.”

 

It is believed that Hamilton took Adami’s response – specifically the suggestion that “this is our race” – as an indication that he was in the fight for victory in Monte Carlo.

 

However, PlanetF1.com understands that Adami meant that Hamilton would not be used by the Ferrari pit wall to assist Leclerc’s victory hopes and was therefore free to run his own race.

 

Hamilton admitted to being surprised to see his deficit to the leaders after the race, having been under the impression from Adami’s message that he was closer to the front of the field.

 

He told Sky F1 on Sunday in Monaco: “’This is our race.’ I didn’t know what I was fighting for. Am I fighting for the next spot ahead or [something more]?

 

“But in actual fact, when I look at the data, I wasn’t anywhere near any of the guys up front.

 

“So I used up my tyres a lot in that respect, in that moment, but I was so far away from them anyway.”

 

Speaking to media including PlanetF1.com after the race, Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur explained that Hamilton lost considerably more time – estimated by the team to be around 10 seconds – than the leading quartet of cars in lapped traffic.

 

Hamilton was heard in yet another notable interaction with his race engineer after the chequered flag in Monte Carlo, asking Adami if he was “upset” with him.

 

The full exchange on the cooldown lap went as follows:

 

Adami: “It’s a P5. Lost a lot of time in traffic and then the rest we need to investigate.”

 

Adami: “And pick up please. Charge button on.

 

Hamilton: “Tough result. Yeah. Big thank you to the boys, as I said, for fixing the car. It’s not been the easiest of weekends, but we live to fight the other day, so yeah. Thanks.”

 

Hamilton: “Are you upset with me or something?”

 

Adami, who previously race engineered Hamilton’s Ferrari predecessors Sebastian Vettel and Carlos Sainz, gave no reply.

 

It is possible that Adami may have already disconnected himself from the team’s internal communications system before Hamilton issued his final message from the cockpit and was not aware of the driver’s message until it was too late.

 

Vasseur appeared to be unaware that this specific incident took place during the cooldown lap in Monte Carlo, pointing to Ferrari’s policy of not opening radio communications between Ste Devote and the tunnel during the race to allow the drivers to concentrate on driving.

 

Asked why Hamilton received no answer from his race engineer, Vasseur told media including PlanetF1.com: “When the driver is asking something between Turn 1 and 3, we have to wait [until] the tunnel to reply, to avoid to speak with him during the corners.

 

“It’s not that we are sleeping, it’s not that we are having a beer on the pit wall.

 

“It’s just because we have a section of the track where we agreed before to speak with him.

 

“Honestly, it’s not a tension that the guy is asking something. He’s between the walls, he’s under pressure, he’s fighting, he’s at 300kph between the walls and I am perfectly fine with it.

 

“I spoke with him after the race, he was not upset at all.”

 

The 2025 Spanish Grand Prix will represent a technical turning point for the entire F1 grid. Ferrari is ready to face this transition with new updates designed to respond to the new technical directive introduced by the FIA, which is highly anticipated by all teams and will come into effect starting from the Barcelona round.

 

 

Are updates arriving in Barcelona?

Ahead of the weekend at the Montmeló circuit, team principal Fred Vasseur emphasized the importance of the new regulation related to front-end aerodynamics, which will officially come into force at the Spanish round. “From Spain onward, there will be a new regulation for the front wing, and all the teams have identified this race as a turning point because we don’t know how the others will perform with this change,” Frederic Vasseur explained to Sky Sport F1.

 

For this reason, Ferrari’s approach will be precise and measured: “It makes sense to bring only the new front wing to get a clearer picture,” added the team principal, indicating that broader upgrades could be introduced later, once the effectiveness of the new configuration is verified.

 

Objective: improve performance in every type of corner

At a time when the SF-25 has shown encouraging signs in race pace but still struggles to unlock its full potential in qualifying, Ferrari aims to optimize its overall balance. “There could be a reset, but the important thing is to focus on ourselves and improve in every type of corner,” Fred Vasseur added at the end of the Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo.

 

The Barcelona circuit, historically used as a benchmark to evaluate the overall performance of the cars, will therefore serve as a crucial testing ground to understand whether the developments introduced will be enough to close the gap to Red Bull and McLaren, who currently have proven more effective over a single lap and in aerodynamic setups that require a balanced approach to maximize performance in both fast and slow corners.

 

 

Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari talks to the

Lewis Hamilton cut an upbeat figure during Thursday’s media duties in Monaco as the seven-time World Champion looks to build on an encouraging recovery at last weekend’s Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.

 

Ferrari endured a nightmare double Q2 exit at their first home Grand Prix of the season in Imola but Hamilton and team mate Charles Leclerc fought back admirably to P4 and P6 respectively on race day – the Briton’s best non-Sprint result of the season so far.

 

While this weekend’s race in the Principality represents a “much different” challenge, Hamilton hopes the lessons learned last time out will stand him and the Scuderia in good stead as the latest F1 triple header progresses.

 

“We’ve definitely taken on the positives from it,” he commented. “There’s still a lot to digest – it’s only been a few days, obviously.

 

 

Two-stopper ‘throws a spanner’ – Hamilton hopeful Monaco rule change will create opportunities

 

“I was on the simulator on Monday [working] on correlation and working with the engineers through the week. I hope we can have a good weekend.

 

“It’s a much different track… Ferrari have generally gone well here [in the past] but as you know, Qualifying is everything and we’ve struggled so far this year, so we’ll see.

 

“I’ve never driven this car at this track, so that will be new for me, it’s a new characteristic to what I’ve experienced in the past, but it’s exciting to drive for the first time a Ferrari around these streets of Monte Carlo.”

 

Indeed, in a season of ‘firsts’ since making the move from Mercedes over the winter, Hamilton went on to explain just how special it will feel to represent Ferrari at one of F1’s most famous races.

“I remember being here driving for McLaren in an era where the car looked the best, the best livery, it was very cool, and something I really, genuinely loved,” he continued, referring to his debut 2007 season.

 

“But to arrive here in a Ferrari is mad. Every weekend still is my first time with this team in all these locations that we go to, but to drive a Ferrari around this track…

 

“I’ve always wondered what it’s like to be in the garage surrounded by red here, and I’m going to get to experience that tomorrow. I don’t know if I’ll sleep tonight, I’m really, really buzzing and really excited.”

 

Hamilton heads into the event holding sixth position in the Drivers’ Championship, one spot and eight points behind Leclerc, while Ferrari sit fourth in the Teams’ battle, 165 points adrift of leaders McLaren.
