Lewis Hamilton makes stunning new career move that he hopes will inspire a new generation of racing drivers
LEWIS HAMILTON is producing his own Netflix-style fly-on-the-wall documentary.
The series is being released on Apple TV with Hamilton saying that he hopes it will inspire a new generation of racing drivers.
The Mercedes ace, who is also helping write the script for a new F1 film starring Brad Pitt, has had a camera crew with him for the past few races.
He said: “It feels strange having a camera on you but it’s about my life, it’s about my career and the journey to where I am with the hope of doing what Ayrton Senna’s documentary did for me as a kid.
“Maybe it will be something new or fresh and hopefully the next young kid will come home from school and watch this and be inspired to do something great themselves.”
Seven-time world champion Hamilton has been working on an as-yet-untitled F1 movie.
We reported how the Brit – who is acting as a producer – and filmmakers Jerry Bruckheimer and Joe Kosinski have reportedly made their selection on Pitt’s co-star.
Damson Idris is the person who allegedly been picked to star alongside Pitt.
The 31-year-old played the co-lead in Netflix’s sci-fi action film Outside the Wire and currently stars in crime drama Snowfall.
The British-Nigerian actor, who was born in Peckham, South London, has also starred in Black Mirror and Casualty.

Meanwhile Hamilton, who has been told not move to Ferrari unless they DOUBLE his salary, partied with two of the biggest football stars on the planet after the Monaco Grand prix at a Travis Scott concert.
Brazilian forward Neymar was in attendance at the prestigious race to witness the Brit finish fourth in Monaco.
The 31-year-old, who is reportedly desperate to join Manchester United, was joined by Paris Saint-Germain team-mates Marco Verratti and Gianluigi Donnarumma by the track to watch the action.
Hamilton and Neymar they enjoyed a concert by rapper Scott later that night at Lillys Club in the Principality.
Hamilton ditched the overalls and let his hair down for the gig with Neymar and his PSG strike partner Kylian Mbappe also in attendance.
Videos emerged of the star-studded line-up at the concert, with Hamilton and Scott’s friendship going way back.
Clips show both Hamilton, 38, and Neymar at Lillys Club and, according to Twitter account Utopia, the likes of Kevin Durant and Justin Bieber were also there too.
Scott previously travelled to Jeddah to catch up with the Englishman after the Saudi Arabian GP.
And he also attended a party hosted by Hamilton back in 2018 in association with Tommy Hilfiger.
The Mercedes star will now be hoping that he can continue his recent upturn in form this weekend at the Spanish GP.
