'F1', the hit film about Formula One racing was co-produced by Lewis Hamilton, the British driver who has won seven F1 championships. He was closely involved in ensuring the film's authenticity, particularly in the portrayal of race scenes, jargon, and the behind-the-scenes operation of an F1 race team.
Consumers idolize sports figures in the same way they do movie stars so transitioning into movies is a natural segway to higher fame and fortune.
Lewis Hamilton is not the first sports figure that has turned to the entertainment industry, particularly movies, as a means for continued success as they age. Others include LeBron James, Peyton Manning and his brother Eli, Steven Curry, Simone Biles, and Serena Williams have all turned to the entertainment industry for career continuation. This trend will continue as athletics become brands themselves, and Catlin Clark quickly comes to mind.
I watched 'F1' at a local cinema, and it was great! It's a must-see on a big screen as the realism of the race scenes would be lost via TV viewing.
