The two legendary individuals teamed up and have patterned up with Apple productions to create a close-to-reality picture of Formula 1. Hence, after revealing the release date, Hamilton opened up regarding Pitt’s personality while shooting the film.

While shooting the film, Hamilton and Brad Pitt visited multiple tracks. Hence, while on a track in LA, Lewis Hamilton took the passenger seat of a car driven by Pitt. The 39-year-old recalled that the American superstar was straight away driving exceptionally well. Additionally, the seven-time world champion labeled the 60-year-old as one of the ‘good’ drivers in the world.

We went to a track in L.A. I took him [Brad Pitt] out and sat in the passenger seat, and he drove. I’ve sat with God knows how many non-racing drivers. You can tell immediately the good ones, the bad ones. Straight away he was on it.
Lewis Hamilton told esquire.com.

Driving the chassis alongside the world’s top 20 drivers in the sport wasn’t an easy task. Regardless, Lewis Hamilton pointed out that Brad Pitt had that caliber to drive well. Racing and driving was in Pitt’s DNA according to the seven-time world champion. However, the Briton didn’t hesitate to accept the fact that the American was unable to hone the chassis as well as the Formula 1 drivers.

You could tell he has it. He has it in his DNA. He’s just not been able to hone in on it like we have. But he’s got big potential.
Lewis Hamilton added.

There are days I’m like, shoot, I don’t know how much longer I can go. There are days I’m like, shoot, I’d love a break, a proper break, because you don’t get a real big break in the season like other sports.
Lewis Hamilton noted.

Regardless, Hamilton has deemed his entry to Ferrari in the coming season and is hopeful of performing well. The Briton has sustained a great mid-season comeback in the 2024 season. Hence, all eyes are set on the Mercedes star to witness how he ends the season on a high as a Silver Arrow.
