Lewis Hamilton, the veteran Formula One racing driver, joined hands with popular Hollywood actor Brad Pitt to produce a special movie dedicated to F1.
Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time formula one world champion, has a deep love for the sport. It’s the love and thrill of racing that drives him to extend his stay in the sport despite prolonging 16 years of dominance. Apart from racing, the Mercedes ace understands that he has a greater platform to influence society at large. Hence, he intends to put that platform to good use.
Being the only driver of black ethnicity in the history of the sport, Lewis Hamilton has often raised his voice for his community. Moreover, the constant bans and flak from the FIA never stopped him and instead ignited the fire even further. Meanwhile, the Briton had devised a new way to promote the sport of Formula One to a greater audience, and he sought the help of Hollywood actor Brad Pitt for the same.
