Lewis Hamilton, who co-produced and appeared in the film "F1," won an Academy Award for Best Sound following his performance at the Chinese Grand Prix. Hamilton was unable to attend the ceremony due to the 12.5-hour flight from Los Angeles to Shanghai, which was a 15-hour difference. The film, which also featured Hamilton in the cast, was nominated for four awards, including Best Picture and Visual Effects. Despite not winning these awards, Hamilton expressed pride in the success of the film and its global promotion.
