Between sport and entertainment
Waiting for the release on Netflix of the next season of the now famous – or infamous, depending on your point of view – TV series Drive to Survivewe can already see on the horizon the next big commercial project wanted by the Circus: the F1 film which is in production and which – thanks to the strikes that have involved the American film industry – should arrive in theaters no earlier than 2025.
The new F1 film
The film, which has as its protagonist a star of the first magnitude such as Brad Pitt and among the producers the seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, was on everyone's lips especially on the occasion of the British GP, when F1 allowed the film crew to work on the track as a sort of 11th team in order to have maximum realism in the filming. However, not all the protagonists of the Circus were positively impressed by this initiative.
The reigning world champion also expressed some skepticism, Max Verstappencertainly not new to looking at the more 'marketing' initiatives of this Formula 1 with a certain distrust. The Dutchman from Red Bull, questioned by the magazine Formulas 1 about the new film in progress, he didn't appear particularly enthusiastic.
Max's skepticism
“I like movies and Brad Pitt is obviously a super actor. Before the Austin race, I saw some clips of the film. They showed them to us during the pilots' meeting, explaining how they shot everything. It's nice to look at, that's for sure, but I don't care much. I don't need to see a film about my sport“, commented Verstappen.
The Hasselt champion is also known for not having a particularly good relationship with the series Drive to Surviveeven if in the latest editions he agreed to participate, after having 'boycotted' 2021: “The media? I'd rather not have to deal with it, of course, but it's part of the political game in Formula 1 and many other sports. Over the years I've gotten a little better at knowing what to say and what not to saybut in general I'm mostly myself and I'm certainly not an actor“, he concluded.
