F1 Movie Sequel?

Surprising no one who knows how Hollywood works:  the biggest sports movie of all time (in terms of $$$ earned) is going to be getting a sequel.

I don't have a problem with this.  If it's boosting F1, that's great.  If the movie involves F1 people to bring authenticity, that's great.

No idea what the story will be, I'd like to see Pitt's character moving on to a non car role.  (Team management?  Maybe test/reserve driver, having an unrealistic amount of in season testing, and then having to race to show the young guns how to get the most out of the car 'in combat'?)

I did see a comment someone made, they'd love to see a LeMans movie, with Pitt reprising his Hayes role, joined by Tom Cruise in his Cole Trickle role from Days of Thunder.

The movie was better than I expected but still not on a par with Grand Prix, Rush or other non-F1 racing films like Le Mans or Ford vs Ferrari. I can also remember sequels to outstanding films that were absolute dogs. (Does anyone remember  Independence Day: Resurgence?) We can all hope for the best if they go forward with this.

I wish they would adjust those box office figures for inflation but I guess that would defeat what they're trying to make us believe.
