Jun.11 - Lewis Hamilton is involved in the production of a Top Gun-style feature film about Formula 1 that will star Brad Pitt.

Reports from Baku suggest the movie will be produced by Joseph Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer, who were behind the popular Top Gun sequel.

Apple is said to have secured the film rights, beating Netflix, Amazon, Paramount, Sony and MGM.

"I can't really say too much about it because I don't know if it's been properly announced yet," seven time world champion Lewis Hamilton said at Baku.

"But it's something we're working on in the background."

Hamilton said he is "very much involved" in the script and has already spent time with Pitt.

"If you look at all the racing movies, I can't necessarily say that all the recent ones have been spectacular," he explained. "That's something we want to change.

The Mercedes star also said other active F1 drivers will also get involved in the film.

"We're going to need drivers, I'm sure, at some stage," said Hamilton. "There's already this talk of how we are going to capture some of the footage and it's going to take us drivers to be involved in that.

"But we're not actors and we don't want this movie to be crap, which is probably why I'm not going be a part of it (as an actor)."

    For this effort to be successful it will be a multiple year project. Hype is great, but there isn't even a basic script, let alone production plans. Don't buy your tickets just yet.

    Can't resist. Is that because you are a crappy actor, or a crappy driver? No matter, Lewie will be on pension before this deal gets into production.

      No worries, in four months Lewie will have plenty of time to move to LA and get right in to movie mode. Bling, piercings and dreads welcome. Buy a house in the hills, find a starlet girlfriend and rock on. BTW Shrop', the typical studio feature has 15-20 co-producers. Look it up. "Very much involved" indeed. LOL

    0no surprise then as sir Lulu is pardoned again for driving excessively slow whist waiting for a tow, is it not time to stop feeling sorry for this clown with the bad back, popping eyes & the chattering teeth, I bet his diapers are a mess after a session.

    Right, so the new F1 movie is actually about Dame Lucille. Brad Pit is going to be the Dame. And, Like Robert Downey Jr. in "Tropic Thunder", Pitt is going to go "black-face" to look like Dame Lucy.

    Title of the movie is "Driving Thunder"

    Apparently, Tom Cruise is going to do a cameo as Toto Wolff.
