Lewis Hamilton has opened up on his future plans in the film industry, as he continues to expand his footprint outside Formula 1.

The F1 legend has more off-track endeavours than possibly any other driver on the grid, working in film, fashion and even taking a part ownership stake in the Denver Broncos.

Fashion is an integral part of Hamilton’s identity, with the 40-year-old collaborating with high-fashion brands such as Tommy Hilfiger in 2018, and most recently Dior in 2024.

Hamilton has also branched out into the film industry, where he notably played an instrumental role in Brad Pitt’s upcoming release - F1.

The British racing driver is also an advisor on the Joseph Kosinski-directed film, where he was consulted on details of the film and whether they mirrored the reality of F1.

Speaking to The Sunday Times in late 2024, Hamilton revealed not only his role in the upcoming film, but also his desire to implement diversity in the filmmaking process, which included a female technical director.

“I want to be able to tell diverse stories. Film has changed my life – there is so much inspiration I have received,” he said.

“That was important to me. I lived with my dad, but I was really raised by my two mums and my two sisters. I grew up around a lot of female energy, powerful women. Most of the people on my team are women, the women hold it down.”
