The much-awaited documentary film, Schumacher, capturing the life of F1 racing legend, Michael Schumacher, is finally up and running on Netflix. Amidst the rise in the number of sport-based documentaries, here’s an interesting piece of news! Something is brewing around Lewis Hamilton too.

The Briton recently made his presence at the 2021 Met Gala, where celebrities from around the world gathered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. One of them was a rising film director, Anthony Prince Leslie.

The former Vox Media cinematographer shared an Instagram Reel featuring the seven-time world champion at the Met Gala. But that’s not it! It’s the caption that left everyone wondering whether a film on Hamilton’s life is due soon.

The American wrote, “Fu*king iconic documentary coming soon.” Leslie is the founder of Equator Productions, and it looks like this rising production house’s first big hit could be arriving from the hands of Hamilton.

Well-known F1 documentaries so far

Until today, there are only three documentaries to have witnessed a decent appreciation from around the globe. Of course, the primary of all being Formula 1: Drive to Survive, but this stands out as a series rather than a film.

Then arrive Schumacher and Senna. And the fact that Hamilton is being compared to the two legendary drivers and his consequent growth in popularity might play a huge role in producing a worth-watching film out of the Briton’s personal and racing life.

But, of course, it is yet to receive confirmation.

Lewis Hamilton worthy of owning a docu-film under his name?

Absolutely! The Briton is arguably one of the greatest racing drivers to exist in Formula 1. And his incredible passion for the sport has led him to retrieve seven-time world championship trophies too.

What’s more, unlike most of the other drivers on the grid, Hamilton’s path to F1 wasn’t as easy. Hamilton and his family faced massive struggles during the early stages and despite enduring such a rough patch, here he is, standing tall as the most successful driver amongst hundreds of others.

Overall, this would be the perfect time for Hamilton to get a documentary film for himself. He does often mention influencing kids to follow their dreams rather than giving up early. And this potential film could prove to be a helping hand in this pursuit.
