Lewis Hamilton gives the latest updates on F1 sequel
Hamilton revealed that development on the F1 sequel has already started. Speaking during a press conference ahead of the season-opening race in the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, the seven-time world champion said the team has begun shaping the story. According to him, several meetings have already taken place with the film’s key creatives to start building the script.
“We’re already working on the first script,” Hamilton explained. “Our first meeting was towards the end of last year – Jerry [Bruckheimer], [Joseph Kosinski], and I – to discuss different ideas, different avenues to explore for the script. Then, with Ehren Kruger, we had many meetings about it. It’s really exciting. I’m super excited,” he added.
In addition to featuring in the movie, Lewis Hamilton also worked behind the scenes as a producer. The experience gave him a real crash course in how movies get made. Now he wants to take those lessons and improve the sequel. The British driver said the first project felt “intense” but also eye-opening. It showed him what worked on the screen and what could be improved the next time around. He also pointed out how the movie pulled new fans into Formula 1. According to Hamilton, he gets “messages from people who have just seen it” and fell in love with the sport.
Despite the buzz around the project, Hamilton made it clear the team will not fast-track the sequel. He pointed out that follow-ups often struggle to match the magic of the original. Because of that, the team wants to move carefully instead of rushing into production. “The second point is that… sequels aren’t always successful. We have a great team, a fantastic cast, a talented screenwriter, so I’m not worried, but we’re going to take our time to make sure the result is perfect,” the Formula 1 star said.
