Continuity mistake: During the Belgium race it begins to rain. This is making it difficult for the drivers to see. The track announcer then states about Jean Pierre," He's only 2 laps away from his third consecutive win". At this point the view changes to a frontal shot of Jean Pierre coming over a rise and look, the track is completely dry, there is even sunshine. The shot switches back to an overhead shot and everything is wet again.
Lisa: Are you never afraid?
Nino Barlini: Not ever.
Lisa: Why?
Nino Barlini: Because, I am immortal.
Trivia: Scott Stoddard's teammate at BRM, Bob Turner, is played by British Two time F1 Champion Graham Hill. Pete Aaron's teammate at Yamura, Tim Randolph, is played by American 1961 F1 Champion Phil Hill.
