Formula 1 needs Lewis Hamilton. The power of the seven-time World Champion is enormous. His F1 film with Brad Pitt is coming soon, and the hype is building. During the summer break secrets have been revealed about his side-project, but the heat is on him when it comes to racing.
Is Hamilton good enough to win with Ferrari?
He will soon move to Ferrari and compete for the Italians in 2025 and again in 2026 when new rules and regulations hit the sport. But Dutch racing driver Tom Coronel has delivered a low blow by suggesting Ferrari can only win a World Championship with Max Verstappen in the cockpit. Read the Dutchman’s view here.
Meanwhile Mercedes are on the way back. The start of the season was perhaps still somewhat disappointing from the German racing team, but in the last two months before the summer break, Lewis Hamilton and George Russell are stringing together good results. The W15 can once again compete for victory, much to the delight of Toto Wolff who has asked for more.
Formula 1 set for another boom
Formula 1 has gained a huge amount of popularity in recent years. This is partly due to the Netflix series Drive to Survive, which has attracted a completely new audience to the sport. Stefano Domenicali, however, thinks Brad Pitt’s F1 film will have an even bigger impact than that of the successful docuseries. Here’s why.

And secrets have been revealed. Lewis Hamilton has delivered some rare insight into how his Formula 1 film with Brad Pitt has been made. The seven-time World Champion has been listed as a producer of the film and has now explained what he tweaked in the script.
Verstappen has good news for McLaren
After his dominant performance last year, Max Verstappen’s Formula 1 season in 2024 looks very different. The Red Bull Racing driver keeps a realistic attitude and realises that, however difficult, there is a chance that his old form will not return.
