Lewis Hamilton on the success of F1
In an interview with the media on Thursday before the British Grand Prix F1 race, Hamilton was questioned about a possible F1 sequel.
According to the news agency AP, Hamilton stated, "We literally just finished it, so I think the last thing we want right now is a sequel."
"It's been four years in the making," the 39-year-old continued. "It was a lot of work, particularly for (director Joseph Kosinski). It's time away from your family, it's time away from your kids, and also you need this to just simmer for a while, you know. Like, let's enjoy it. I think the worst thing we probably could do is to rush into doing a sequel,' the Ferrari driver added.

"Most sequels are way worse, and so we don't need to rush it.
I think if we do do a sequel, I would say let's really, really take our time in getting it even better.'
By requesting a "debrief" on the project, Hamilton claimed to be introducing F1 racetrack practices to the film industry, much like a team evaluates a race before moving on to the next one. He said, 'Let's review what we did and what we could have done better.' 'I don't know if they ever do that in the movie business, but it's something obviously I've learned from here.'
Regarding the F1 movie
Brad Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a driver who rejoins Formula One after a 30-year pause in order to assist a friend's team in winning a race. The film is directed by Joseph Kosinski. Numerous drivers and team members made cameo appearances in the movie, which was filmed over the course of real F1 Grand Prix weekends.

Battlefield 6 Battle Royale mode leak explored
Image via DICE. After the disastrous performance of Battlefield 2042, it seems DICE is leaving no stones unturned for Battlefield 6 as the upcoming title is rumored to feature a full-fledged Battle Royale mode. There is no doubt that fans have been highly anticipating these titles for a long time, with the official reveal due this summer. Despite DICE being tight-lipped, rumors and leaks regarding the potential content of Battlefield 6 are surrounding the whole internet. Battlefield 6 battle royale mode leaked This leak comes from credible insider and Battlefield dataminer Temporyal. The leaker shared a very small clip on X featuring the potential Battle Royale mode of Battlefield 6. Although the video has been removed from X by DICE due to copyright infringement, but it already had generated a huge buzz amongst the fans, leaking major information about the game mode. According to Temporyal, the Battle Royale mode is set in California, and typical BR insertion in the mode will be done with the CH-47 Chinook. Not only that, the playzone circle or the 'destructive ring' will be made of a compound named NXC. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Birla Evara 3 and 4 BHK from ₹ 1.75 Crore* Birla Estates Learn More Undo He also stated that this gameplay footage was based on the Battlefield Labs Alpha Client. However, this is not the first time that Temporyal leaked the Battle Royale mode in Battlefield 6. In May 2025, this leaker shared an extensive overview of how the BR mode is going to be in the upcoming title. BF Labs Datamining: The Battle Royale mode (new features & additional details) by u/temporyal in Battlefield He claimed that the core aspect of the BR mode in BF6 is going to be the same as its BR competitors, but it will have many unique features which will set it apart from the rest. For example, the BF6 BR mode will feature the Oversight system, with which, dead players can help their alive teammates by controlling their drones, turrets, cameras, and etc. This is going to be the second installment in the Battlefield series to feature full-fledged Battle Royale modes, after BF5. Battlefield 2042 did have a game mode named Hazard Zone, but the developers made it clear that this mode wasn't a Battle Royale experience. The BR mode in BF5, named Firestorm, was a huge success. Even after that, the exclusion of a dedicated BR mode in BF 2042 was quite shocking. Now it seems DICE doesn't want to repeat the same mistake, as Battlefield 6 is potentially going to include a Battle Royale mode. Another popular mode game mode might also make a comeback in Battlefield 6 . Read More: When is Battlefield 6 going to be revealed?
