Among other notable celebrities from various fields, Williams’ youngster George Russell and Alfa Romeo’s veteran Kimi Raikkonen were present at the World Premiere. Leading up to the Turkish Grand Prix, Kimi and George were asked what they thought about the movie.

F1 posted a clipping of this on Twitter with the caption “Good movie.” – Kimi Raikkonen, future movie critic.

When asked about what they thought of the movie, George promptly answered that he liked the movie and enjoyed it. “It was… I’m a James bond fan. Well, I’ve seen all the recent ones. I haven’t seen the old classics, so I probably need to spend a bit of time looking back on them. But, I enjoyed it.

Russell went on and even teased the audience about a surprise element in the movie, “Yeah, a little bit…. maybe surprising. I won’t give anything away to the people who watched it. But it was yeah, a good one.”

This is Kimi’s last season in F1. He has already announced his retirement while Russell will be in a Merc suit next season alongside Hamilton. It’s pretty evident that out of all the things Kimi can pick up after his retirement, being a movie critic is definitely not one of them
