During the filming of the movie, the crew worked right in the middle of real Formula 1 races of the 2024 season to convey the authentic atmosphere of high speed and excitement. Most scenes were shot immediately after the Grand Prix at legendary racetracks, with real drivers participating in the shots. The trailer already shows familiar outlines of tracks like Silverstone (UK), Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), Monza (Italy), and Yas Marina (UAE).

The filming took place simultaneously with the championship stages, which not only created an effect of real presence and conveyed all the unpredictability of the races but also turned the process into a kind of promotional campaign. Spectators attending the Grand Prix could watch scenes of the future blockbuster unfold before their eyes, featuring recognized Formula 1 aces. The use of real tracks, cars, and the dynamics of racing episodes make this film a true spectacle capable of stunning any motorsport fan.

Filming Locations:

Silverstone

In the Movie

Scene where the main character named Sonny is on the track. He is either test-driving a specially modified car or participating in a qualifying session before a key Grand Prix stage. This moment emphasizes the high realism of what is happening: filming on authentic race tracks, the roar of Formula 1 engines, and the presence of real drivers create a fully immersive effect.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at a legendary location that once served as an airfield during World War II and is now considered one of the world's main racetracks. Silverstone is famous for its rich history, long straights, fast corners, and spacious areas, which are ideal for a film crew. It has everything needed: pit lane, paddock, and other facilities to recreate an authentic racing atmosphere.

Spa-Francorchamps

In the Movie

Scene where Sonny drives through “Eau Rouge” (Belgian Formula 1 fans call this corner EAU Rouge) in traffic with other cars, likely during the race start when all cars have not yet spread out along the track.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium, in the town of Spa. It is one of the most famous circuits; many drivers and fans call Spa-Francorchamps the most interesting track in the world. Currently, the circuit hosts Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix, 24 Hours of Spa, GP2, and other circuit racing series.

Monza

In the Movie

Scene where Sonny drives side by side with his team's second driver along a straight section of the track, and after what appears to be an unsuccessful run, the second driver, whose name is not yet known, angrily throws his helmet onto the engineers' table in the pit box. These scenes were filmed at one of Italy's most popular tracks, Monza.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at the Monza circuit, located near the city of Monza in Italy, north of Milan. The track is best known for hosting the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix and is notable for being driven at high overall speeds due to its long straights. It is the fastest track in modern Formula 1, holding the lap speed record and the second highest absolute top speed. It is considered that this track demands more from engine power than from aerodynamic qualities or driver skill.
