Formula 1 is an absolute circus at times. The crazy political dynamic, driver market chaos, and whatnot. Now with Netflix’s Drive to Survive being a perennial stable for fans, the cinematic level of F1 has gone up. It may be a coincidence, but with this increasing excitement and thrill in the sport, even Hollywood is looking to get a taste of this thrill. Brad Pitt and Lewis Hamilton have planned a feature film on F1. While that project is underway in production, a fictional spy thriller script is also getting viral right now on Twitter. For Hamilton fans, it is epic as their beloved 7-time champion is starring as James Bond.

According to F1 fan and Entrepreneur Vincenzo Landino’s Twitter post, this movie script is a classic Bond thriller based on F1 drivers and team principals. Landino got this script for a two-part spy thriller from Chat GPT, an Open AI platform. As per this fictional AI-generated story, Lewis Hamilton will be playing the role of James Bond, who will be battling the “treacherous world of F1 politics”.

Besides Lewis, even his fellow driver mate Sebastian Vettel is playing the role of a villainous driver named Lance Strulovich. Meanwhile, there is also a character of Lawrence Strulovich, Lance’s father and the owner of Strulovich Racing in F1.

Overall, it sets up a storyline of the Struloviches trying to win the F1 championship by all means necessary. While Hamilton’s character will try to stop their plans from succeeding. The script also has Fernando Alonso playing a fellow secret agent to Lewis and being his aide (quite the contrast to the real world).

Besides Alonso and Vettel’s unexpected roles, Toto Wolff and Christian Horner also have roles of being handlers of Lewis and Fernando respectively. Many are quite thrilled to just read about this epic fictional spy movie featuring their favorite drivers.

F1 presenter Will Buxton famously described Lawrence Stroll as a Bond villain on Drive to Survive once. So, Stroll too lives up to being a ruthless boss wanting to win the F1 championship. But, Sebastian Vettel being based on Lance Stroll does not make sense.

Though some of the one-liners mentioned in a separate post really take a cinematic route – “You can’t outdrive me, but you can outsmart me.” – Vettel as Lance Strulovich
