He added he intends to focus on his racing career and his off-track commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hamilton did not outline specific conditions that might lead him to change his decision. He did not specify whether the refusal covers promotional appearances separate from in-game roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/user\/status\/2084459309224833311\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a>\n            <noscript>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/user\/status\/2084459309224833311\" target=\"_blank\"rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\n                    View this tweet on Twitter\n                <\/a>\n            <\/noscript>\n        <\/blockquote>\n        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n    \n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grand Theft Auto VI is the next major release from Rockstar Games and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive. High-profile games sometimes secure celebrity contributors for voice work, likeness rights or marketing tie-ins. There is no public record of formal offers having been made to Hamilton; his remarks were presented as a preemptive refusal of potential approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hamilton&#8217;s public profile includes multiple Formula 1 championships, fashion collaborations and environmental and social initiatives. He has taken part in select media projects in the past and has been selective about commercial and creative partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Representatives for Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive did not immediately comment. Hamilton did not provide a timeline or additional details about specific projects he will decline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lewis Hamilton said he will decline
