Collider quote Fellner as saying, “Hemsworth’s great, but we know Hemsworth’s great. Daniel Bruhl is a surprise and we love a surprise, he’s brilliant. [Hemsworth] does a lot of shagging in the movie. He does a lot of naked shagging.”
He added, “The amazing thing was, here’s a film about Formula 1 which firstly isn’t of a lot of interest in the U.S. anyway, yet, and it’s a man’s sport and it’s a period film—the women scored through the roof in the preview. Now it’s only a preview, but they absolutely adored it. I mean the men loved it too, but the women’s scores were huge.”
