Lewis Hamilton’s Creative Ventures and Upcoming Projects

Formula One champion, Lewis Hamilton, has recently recreated an iconic scene from the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. The video, posted on his new TikTok account, garnered a staggering 9.7 million views. In a recent video alongside team-mate Charles Leclerc, he hinted at more cinematic adventures to come.

Lewis Hamilton’s Love for Cinema and Ferrari

Hamilton, a lifelong film enthusiast, traces his fascination with cinema back to his childhood. It was the iconic 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder from Ferris Bueller that sparked his love for the Italian luxury car brand. “I’ve always been a movie buff,” Hamilton shared in a recent YouTube video for the Formula 1 team. “Ferris Bueller was the first time I ever saw a – I must have been five or six.

The Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder left an indelible impression on Hamilton as he embarked on his racing career at just eight years old.

From Dream to Reality: The Making of the Iconic Scene Recreation

The idea for the recreation of the scene emerged about a year and a half ago, when Hamilton co-founded Dawn Apollo Films with his friend Timmy. “I remember saying, ‘How cool would it be if we could reshoot that scene where they’re driving the Ferrari over the hill and landing to the Star Wars music?'” Hamilton recalled.

With the help of his production company, Hamilton was able to bring this dream to life, even managing to secure the participation of acclaimed actor Edward Norton. The project required a significant investment in cutting-edge technology, production, and planning. “It definitely took a lot of effort to get right,” Hamilton admitted on social media.

Despite the challenges, the video was a labor of love for the Formula One star, who has been enjoying a creative year so far.

Future Film Projects: A Collaborative Endeavor with Charles Leclerc

When asked about his next cinematic project, Hamilton revealed he’s eyeing an Eddie Murphy movie. Leclerc, listening intently, expressed his desire to star in a Harry Potter film, due to his resemblance to the fictional wizard. In response, Hamilton suggested a collaboration with Leclerc for the Harry Potter project.

As they prepare for the Japanese Grand Prix, both Hamilton and Leclerc are hoping for a smooth race weekend following their disqualification in the Chinese Grand Prix. The drivers aim to secure good points at Suzuka to maintain their positions near the top of the drivers’ standings.
