Lewis Hamilton’s successful weekend continued into Sunday night in the United States, where the 98th Academy Awards took place. After the seven-time world champion claimed his first Grand Prix podium for Ferrari at the Chinese Grand Prix, the movie he co-produced also won an Oscar.

The 'F1' movie was nominated in four categories, including Best Picture, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, and Best Visual Effects.

In the end, 'F1' won one category, Best Sound, with Gareth John, Al Nelson, Gwendolyn Yates Whittle, Gary A. Rizzo, and Juan Peralta collecting the award. They previously won the same category at the BAFTAs as well.

The Oscar for Best Picture went to 'One Battle After Another' this year.

In an Instagram story, Hamilton also shared the movie's achievement. He wrote: "Major, congrats to the team."

The Briton also congratulated the team of the film 'Sinners', who won four Oscars in total. He added: "Loved this film, already a classic. Congrats Michael B. Jordan and the whole Sinners team."
