Lewis Hamilton has more storytelling ideas beyond ‘F1: The Movie’.
"We have some ideas. I’m in the process of figuring it out but storytelling is something I’m really passionate about."
- Lewis Hamilton
The seven-time world champion was a producer on the 'F1' movie that premiered in 2025 starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, portraying the fictional team APX GP.
The movie turned out to be a success, grossing around $630 million worldwide. It is both Pitt's and Apple Studios' highest-grossing film to date.
Speaking to Ferrari Magazine, the British driver explained that he has more plans for the future.

He explained: "We have some ideas. I’m in the process of figuring it out but storytelling is something I’m really passionate about.
"More than ever, we need inspirational stories out there, given the dark times we live in.
"I love comedy and I’ve got a particular idea for a television show. I’m working on a couple of animation movie ideas, and we’re getting sent so much stuff since the F1 movie happened it’s crazy."
Still, Hamilton underlined he will not get carried away and get involved in too many projects.

"But it’s not about doing lots and lots of projects, it’s more like Quentin Tarantino does it, quality rather than quantity."

Earlier this year at the British Grand Prix, the seven-time world champion explained that he is not planning to rush one.
He told GPblog: "Most sequels are way worse, and so we don't need to rush it. I think if we do a sequel, I would say let's really, really take our time in getting it even better."
