In a conversation with The Ferrari Magazine, Hamilton expressed his deep satisfaction with his involvement in the film. Collaborating closely with the director, Joe Kosinski, and contributing to various aspects of the project, including engaging with acclaimed figures like Brad Pitt and Hans Zimmer, encapsulated a remarkable four-year journey for him.
