Lewis Hamilton teases F1 change with ‘better’ alternative discovered
Lewis Hamilton has proposed a change in camera usage in Formula 1 to potentially enhance the viewing experience for fans on TV. Despite his struggles on the track in the 2025 season, settling in sixth place in the drivers’ standings with Ferrari, Hamilton has been actively engaged in various off-track ventures. This includes his involvement as an event co-chair at the 2025 Met Gala and earning a production credit in the recent F1 movie, which featured Brad Pitt and Damson Idris and was met with positive feedback from F1 personalities and enthusiasts. An integral aspect of the film’s success, according to Hamilton, was the innovative use of cameras that provided viewers with a distinct perspective reminiscent of being on the track, a feature he believes is lacking in live F1 broadcasts. The film’s financial success has been notable, exceeding $545m globally and becoming Apple Studios’ most successful theatrical release, helmed by director Joseph Kosinski. Despite the commercial triumph, critical reception to the F1 movie has been mixed, with accolades directed at its production values and camera techniques, while facing scrutiny for elements such as character representation and storyline realism. Starring Brad Pitt as an aging racing driver, the movie portrays a tale of improbable comeback to the sport, raising questions and sparking discussions within the F1 community regarding its portrayal of the sport’s dynamics and narratives.
