Lewis Hamiton might try acting

...but what he really wants to do is direct...

I just got back to the US and on the plane I happened to read this gem from the Herald Tribune's extensive F1 coverage this week end.

Q. After Formula One do you think you’ll want to continue racing in another series, or do something else?

A. I honestly don’t know. It depends on what opportunities there are, and I don’t think there will be a lack of opportunity. It’s just that, for example, what I like now music-wise might be different in five years time. So I really can’t say. But I love music, I love movies, I don’t know if I can really act that well, but you never know until you try. It could be another area I could go into.


You can make what you will of Hamilton's tendency to always somehow mention Ayrton Senna and himself in the same sentence, but for sure his exit in Q1, beaten by his team mate, is the low point of his season so far. What made it worse is that it was not due to an accident or bad strategy...he was just not able to set the car up well enough and had to blatantly lift in turns where others were essentially flat.

Oh well, at least he's happy for Jenson!

Don't miss these two articles also from the IHT/NYT

  2. well, having seen his interpretation of Peter Pan, I'm pretty sure he's kidding....

    then again I think he might try out for the lead in that Ayrton Senna bio-pic :o)

  3. He acted his ass off his rookie year, pretending that he was just some nice kid looking to learn F1 from the masters. He just found himself out of character a few times when the radio was on.

    I'd say that based on his performance in Turkey today, he may want to check out some community theater near Woking.

  4. AC is so transparent in his hatred of the F1 ink blot it's unbeliveable. Can't wait to get F1 back to it's purity eh?

    Hey...by the way, how's the Kimster doing? Since Felipe gifted him the Championship, I guess he just stopped trying aye, cause his own team mate has handed him his ASS since then. Must make your Kimster wet dreams burn.
