Hamilton discusses F1 movie title

Hamilton has played a significant role in the production of the film, who was on hand to ensure the film accurately represented the world of F1.

However, the film's title has split audience opinion, with some suggesting it could alienate new audiences, whilst others suggest it is smart marketing.

When asked if he could reveal anything extra about the film in the post-qualifying press conference, Hamilton remained tight lipped and revealed what he thought about the film’s title.

“There's not really anything else I can add that I haven't already said,” Hamilton said.

“I think Joe and Jerry and the whole crew are so grateful to be here and have been incredibly respectful of this space and have been very, very thoughtful.

“Some people just go out and go about it their own way, but they've been really wanting to make sure that the heritage is very much in this movie.

“And so I think people… You know, the trailer is coming out soon. So I'm looking forward to people seeing that. And what else?

“The title. I mean, it's probably… Well, what else are you going to call it? You know, I think it would distract from what the series is, so I like it.”

The F1 film will be released internationally on June 25th, 2025, whilst in North America, it will be released two days later on June 27th, 2025.
