During the British Silverstone GP 2024, the very first movie trailer for F1 starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris and executively produced by Sir Lewis Hamilton has been released.
We caught up with Damson as he discussed the movie, describing it as ‘unlike anything everyone has ever seen before’. An F1 fan but not an F1 driver himself, Damson revealed that there was no-one better to teach him then Lewis Hamilton.
32 year old Damson Alade-Bo Idris is a British-Nigerian actor. He is best known for starring on John Singleton's crime drama Snowfall, which debuted 5 July 2017 on FX and ended in 2023 after six seasons. He played the co-lead in Netflix's 2021 sci-fi action film Outside the Wire.
Reflecting on his time working with Lewis Hamilton, Damson says that Lewis has pushed F1 in such a positive direction and that he is an inspiring and innovative sportsman– adding that we should all take a bit of Lewis and apply it to our lives.
