Max Verstappen Has Zero Interest In Watching The Upcoming Lewis Hamilton- Brad Pitt’s F1 Film

Max Verstappen recently said he would not be watching Lewis Hamilton’s fictional film starring Hollywood’s Brad Pitt. Hamilton is one of the many producers of the movie, and parts of it were recorded during the 2023 F1 British GP.

Speaking to Formule1.nl, Verstappen first said he has watched several Brad Pitt films and that he likes films in general. He also revealed that before the 2023 F1 US GP, a few clips from the Hamilton film were shown in the drivers’ meeting, along with an explanation of how it was being filmed.

“Yes, so many. Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve and so on, those roles stick with me. I like films anyway and Brad Pitt is of course a super actor. Before the US Grand Prix in Austin, I saw a few clips from the new film. They were shown during the drivers’ meeting with an explanation of how they had filmed it all,” Max Verstappen said (via @f1_naija on X).

However, he added that he is neither interested in the filming process nor in the film itself, since it is based on his own sport. He claimed that while many would love a fictional story with “overdramatized” moments, that didn’t apply to him.

“Nice to see, but it doesn’t really interest me that much. I don’t need to see a film of my own sport. This film is of course a made-up story and everything is always over-dramatised, you have to love that. I personally don’t have that much with that,” Verstappen said.

Lewis Hamilton’s movie starring Brad Pitt is in the filming stage at the moment, and does not have an official release date yet.

Max Verstappen recently criticized the 2023 F1 Las Vegas GP for its “show” quotient

The 2023 F1 Las Vegas GP was certainly the most dazzling race of 2023. Max Verstappen, however, made it clear that he was not a fan of the race weekend in general because of how flashy it was.

Speaking with the media ahead of the race, including Sportskeeda, the Red Bull star did not hold back with his words:

“It’s 99 percent show and one percent sporting event. Not a lot of emotions to be honest. I mean, I don’t like… I just want to always focus on the performance side of things, I don’t like all the things around it anyway. I know of course there are some places that you know (it is) part of it, but let’s say it’s not my interest.”

Despite criticizing the spectacle and the track itself, Max Verstappen won the 2023 F1 Las Vegas GP and even sang ‘Viva Las Vegas’ on the radio after crossing the line.
