Lewis Hamilton said yesterday in Melbourne ahead of the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, “We are already working on the first script, we had our first meeting maybe mid-to-late to the second part of the end of the year, me, Jerry and Joe talking about different ideas, different directions that we could go with the script”.

Lewis also noted, “It’s been amazing to see how big an impact the movie had; how many people have loved the movie. I’m still getting texts from people who are only just watching the movie and how it’s opened their eyes up to what this sport is about, and it’s sent them down a rabbit hole trying to understand it more.”
No release date was announced, and Hamilton has mentioned that he is now focusing on the F1 season as he is about to start his 20th season in F1 on the back of positive winter testing with the Ferrari team.
