F1's growth continues

F1's push to become mainstream in the USA is getting even stronger with this series, especially when you consider that there is already a movie in the works.

Brad Pitt is set to star in the blockbuster which will have Lewis Hamilton as a producer and adviser.

“It is an honour to be part of this unique and exciting partnership with Formula 1," Jones said of the new drama series.

"The high stakes world of F1 continually delivers edge-of-your-seat drama and to have the opportunity to create a show based in this world is a thrilling prospect.

"I feel incredibly privileged to be working alongside this talented team including Mark and Hawk, Tony and the team at Bedrock Entertainment, and the whole team at F1 to bring our story to the screen.”
