Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who has been a part of the project since its early days, is very thrilled to be part of the project.

“Racing movies, I feel like it’s very, very hard to capture them. I think if you go back to Steve McQueen, for example, back then they would have men laying on the front of the car with the camera, you know, like, or have a big camera on top of the helmet, whereas now we’ve got all this amazing new technology. So I feel like Joe, honestly, I think he’s going to blow people away,” he said on the YouTube series Hot Ones.
