Lewis Hamilton is reportedly preparing to file a lawsuit against Codemasters, the publisher of the upcoming F1 25 video game, over what he claims is false and damaging information included in the game’s driver stats introduction. According to sources close to the seven-time Formula One World Champion, the game presents misleading statistics that downplay his accomplishments and question his legacy in the sport.
The controversy escalated when Codemasters responded to the backlash with a terse, three-word statement: “Past his prime.” This remark has infuriated Hamilton and his management team, who see it as not only inaccurate but deeply disrespectful to a driver who remains active, competitive, and influential in the sport.
Hamilton’s legal team argues that the depiction not only tarnishes his reputation but could impact his brand value and future opportunities. They claim the game misrepresents factual career data and lacks proper context.
Codemasters has yet to release a full statement clarifying the issue or announcing any updates to the game. Fans are divided, with some supporting Hamilton’s stand and others defending the publisher’s right to interpretation. As legal proceedings loom, the situation underscores how digital portrayals of real-life athletes carry real-world consequences.
