Could Lewis Hamilton miss Chinese GP?
Seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton is facing a dilemma of missing the Chinese Grand Prix or a major milestone in his film production career due to a clash in schedules. Hamilton owns Dawn Apollo Films and was credited in a successful F1 movie released last year starring Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem, which received critical acclaim and nominations for four Oscars. Despite the excitement of the awards ceremony coinciding with the Chinese GP, Hamilton is unlikely to skip the race as it is the only event he succeeded in with Ferrari last year. This situation is reminiscent of Fernando Alonso’s absence from the 2017 Monaco GP to race in the Indy500, showing that drivers sometimes prioritize their outside passions over F1 commitments. While some fans are calling for change, Ferrari might not be as understanding as McLaren was with Alonso, putting pressure on Hamilton to make a tough decision.
