Hamilton hints at future biographical film: "That would be amazing"

Lewis Hamilton hopes his upcoming documentary for Apple TV+ will have a "positive impact" on people. He also alludes to the idea of his own biographical film, pointing to Will Smith as an inspiration.

Smith won an Oscar for his role as the father of Venus and Serena Williams in the film King Richard. When asked if he sees a similar biopic about himself, Hamilton replied that the focus right now is on the documentary, but that he would "love" a biographical film in the future.

"The documentary is the current focus," Hamilton says according to Motorsportweek.com. He thinks a lot can be learned from it and hopes to make a positive impact on viewers. "If your story can have a positive impact, even on one person or one family, that would be amazing."

So even though his focus is currently elsewhere, the 37-year-old Briton sees the idea of a biographical film as very appealing. He says he is "very inspired" by Smith's role as Richard Williams.

Hamilton was previously linked to an Apple Formula One film project starring Brad Pitt, in which the Mercedes driver would have an advisory role. Hamilton has not confirmed that report. He does say, however, that he is currently engaged in a casting process for another project. What that project entails, the number five in the championship would not disclose.
