Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Daniel Bruhl, Olivia Wilde, Natalie Dormer
Continuity mistake: When Lauda is going out from his pitstop he is blocked by Andretti's Lotus, but after the pitstop he overtakes Andretti on the track.
Continuity mistake: Lauda runs season with car number 1, on his Monza in-lap after the race and on the Fuji grid there is #2 on his car. (01:28:55)
Factual error: At Watkins Glen 1973 there is an accident during practice. That is correct, but Cevert's Tyrrell did not go under the guardrail. It landed on top of it after the crash. In 1974 Helmut Koinigg went under the guardrail and was killed, so this seems to be a hybrid of those two accidents. (00:21:40)
Niki Lauda: A wise man can learn more from his enemies than a fool from his friends.
Trivia: The Formula 1 cars you see in this film are Formula 3 vehicles with fake F1 bodywork. They were used because Daniel Bruhl and Chris Hemsworth were not allowed to drive real Formula 1 cars.
