F1 Sequel
At the Apple TV press day in Los Angeles, F1 sporting president Stefano Domenical says while a sequel to last year’s “F1” is too early to announce, it’s looking like the tech giant and the sport will expand their deal beyond this film. He tells Formula1.com:
We’re going to tell you something more in the future. Never say never. But we need to digest the success of this movie more, because it was unique. And if you want to think of a new one, it has to be really, very, very good. Therefore, if this will happen, it will not be for next year. But maybe next year we’re going to be here [at the press day], and hopefully we have something more to announce [then].”
