Lewis Hamilton landed his first role as a producer on a movie with F1 The Movie. Hamilton played a significant role in the realism of the movie. As a Formula 1 driver, he could adjust or omit things that would not be truthful about F1.

Lewis Hamilton also plays an important role in the finale of the movie. What exactly that is, you can read in the detailed analysis of the movie.

Although Max Verstappen has not yet seen the movie, the Dutchman is on the screen at moments. Verstappen does not play a big role in the movie, but because footage from the Formula 1 season of 2023 is used, you see Verstappen winning races and standing on the podium.
