Lewis Hamilton has had a difficult weekend at the Hungarian Grand Prix. However, the British driver has now helped Brad Pitt set a personal best as co-producer.
The British driver finished in P12 at the Hungarian Grand Prix last Sunday. Hamilton was especially disappointed on Saturday, after he qualified in the same position, while Charles Leclerc claimed pole position.
"I'm useless, absolutely useless. The team have no problem. You've seen the car's on pole. So we probably need to change driver," he told Sky Sports.

Last month, 'F1: The Movie' made its global premiere in theaters. Lewis Hamilton was the co-producer of the film directed by Joe Kosinski. Together with that, was starring Brad Pitt (Sonny Hayes) and Damson Idris (Joshua Pierce).
For the American actor, it is a record-breaking movie. According to Box Office Mojo by IMDbPro, in terms of worldwide box office, the movie has earned $552,512,903.
This means, this is now Pitt's new best movie in this regard. World War Z in 2013 earned $540,000,000.

At the time, the seven-time world champion he told GPblog among others: "I think the last thing we want right now is a sequel."
"It's been four years in the making, it was a lot of work, particularly for like Joe (Kosinski, the movie's director, ed). It's time away from your family, it's time away from your kids and so, and also you just need this to just simmer for a while, like just enjoy it. I think the worst thing we probably could do is to rush into doing a sequel."
"Most sequels are way worse and so we don't need to rush it. I think if we do do a sequel, I would say let's really, really take our time in getting it even better."
