Hamilton shines next to Hollywood star — Is acting his next move?
Lewis Hamilton starred alongside Eric Andre in Perplexity's video.
After being one of the producers of the blockbuster 'F1: The Movie', where he made a cameo as well, the seven-time world champion was once again on that side of the camera.
The British driver, playing himself, was in short video called "The Garage" together with Hollywood star actor and comedian Eric Andre.
As Hamilton is planning his trip to South America fixing his motor, Andre jumps over his fence trying to help him. Lacking knowledge, he uses Perplexity's AI tool, the company the driver has a partnership with, and often posts about on social media.

Hamilton doesn't see himself as an actor
Talking to the media at the Brazil GP, Hamilton explained he enjoyed the experience with Andre, but doesn't believe he will do much acting moving forward.
He said: "I don’t know. I can’t say that I particularly enjoy acting. It's tough. It's not easy and I don't really see myself as an actor.
"So I was a little bit apprehensive of that video coming out but I've heard positive things about it. It was fun.
"I'd seen him (Andre) in movies before and arriving with him he made it very easy to work with and I didn't have the crazy amount of lines so I didn't have to remember a huge amount, but it was really, really fun doing it with him and Perplexity has been just such an amazing partner."
Today, Hamilton's focus will be on driving again, as on-track begins at the 2025 Sao Paulo GP.
