The film has been delayed due to the SAG-AFTRA strikes, they announced they would be filming at prominent F1 race tracks such as the Hungaroring and Spa.

Hamilton imparts real racing advice

He has recently ventured into the cinematic world himself, establishing his own film and TV production company called Dawn Apollo Films.

Hamilton discussed the difficulty of finding the right tone with the F1 movie for fans both old and new to enjoy.

“My point was: Guys, this movie needs to be so authentic,” he said to GQ Magazine.

“There’s two different fan groups that we have – like, the old originals, who from the day they’re born hear the [BBC] Grand Prix music every weekend and watch with their families, and the new generation that just learned about it today through Netflix.”
