The Briton is a close friend of Cruise and was reportedly offered the role of a fighter pilot in the movie. This, however, did not come to fruition as the shooting for the film clashed with the business end of the 2021 F1 championship due to which Hamilton could not give time for the shoot. F1 fans, however, had rather funny reactions to the Mercedes driver acting in a Hollywood movie, with some of them posting on Twitter: "Big Lewis fan here, NFL, I'm glad he didn't do this. Would have been cringe." C20AD2C88DDC900D3F67F0BF62A94936@9a298045@SkySportsF1 Big Lewis fan here, NFL, I'm glad he didn't do this.

He said: “You can see it’s starting to unfold in a way. My worst fears came alive. I thought ‘no way’ they’re going to take this away from me. Absolutely not. That’s not going to happen. Right? I can’t describe in words how I felt. I can remember sitting there in my car, in disbelief.” “Then I realized I had to take off my seat belt, get out of there, get out of the car, find strength. I didn’t have it. It was one of my toughest moments in a long, long time. I knew what had happened, I knew certain decisions had been made and why. I knew something was not right. I wondered if I wanted to continue.” Lewis Hamilton, however, was gracious in defeat. Although he took a hiatus from social media post the race, he later returned with a renewed zeal for his eighth F1 title. What's your favorite race of the 2022 season so far?
