Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton announced the launch of his film and TV production company Dawn Apollo Films this week. The seven-time world champion plans to go into filmmaking and TV show production post-retirement from F1. In an interview with Deadline, Hamilton spoke about an acting career and plans for his future.
The former champion was asked about his experience voicing a character in Pixar’s Cars franchise and how he would feel acting in front of the camera. Hamilton replied, saying:
“I’m fascinated by it, I really am. I would love to try it one day but I’m very conscious of the fact that it takes ten thousand hours to master something. I’m very stubborn. If I’m going to do something, I want it to be really good.” “We’re going to make the best racing movie that’s ever existed”
Sir Lewis is so competitive in literally everything!
His excitement is so contagious! I can’t wait to watch that movie !!!!!

Lewis Hamilton also spoke about chasing excellence in every endeavor he put his time into. The Briton expressed how he wanted to be good at everything he did and filmmaking was no exception. He elucidated that he was open to learning about the business and not being someone who just flaunted his money. The British said:
“I don’t have to be the best at everything, necessarily, but I know how much hard work these actors have put in. I don’t want to be one of those celebs that just moves into a different field and thinks he can easily do it.”
Hamilton also spoke about retirement and how he wasn’t planning to quit F1 anytime soon. The 37-year-old felt he is in his athletic prime and can easily race at the highest level for a few more years. Hamilton said:
“My main focus and my core job is still motor racing. I’m 37. I’m very focused on my health: on my body, my mind, and my spiritual wellbeing.”
