During a recent Access Hollywood interview, Lewis Hamilton shed light on Brad Pitt’s direct passion for racing. Despite the need for reshooting, the 38-year-old Mercedes driver expressed high standards for the movie. He made a lighthearted remark about Pitt’s need for some racing fine-tuning. But he also praised British actor Damson Idris for his racing abilities. Lewis Hamilton noted that Idris took a little longer to become an expert racer than Pitt did. This adds a touch of humor to the behind-the-scenes challenges.

“We’ve already seen a clip like a little trailer,” said Lewis. “It’s looking, it’s looking amazing. Joe is doing such a great job.” The confidence from Hamilton assures fans that despite the hurdles, “Apex” is destined for greatness.
