7 Jul - Even though "F1" has been doing very well at the box office, it doesn't mean that there has to be talks for a sequel for the time being. That's what British racing driver and "F1" executive producer Lewis Hamilton thinks, after the seven-time Formula 1 champion was asked about the possibility of movie No 2.
"We literally just finished it, so I think the last thing we want right now is a sequel," Hamilton said ahead of the British Grand Prix. "It's been four years in the making. It was a lot of work, particularly for [director Joseph Kosinski]." "It's time away from your family, it's time away from your kids, and also you need this to just simmer for a while, you know. Like, let's enjoy it," he added.
The film is set to cross USD 300 million mark at the global box office in its second weekend, following its release on 27 June. The movie stars Brad Pitt as a racing driver who returns to F1 after a 30-year absence. Hamilton continued, "I think the worst thing we probably could do is to rush into doing a sequel. Most sequels are way worse, and so we don't need to rush it. I think if we do [make] a sequel, I would say let's really, really take our time in getting it even better."
