However, shooting for the movie was interrupted in 2023 due to the Hollywood strike by the Screen Actors Guild, which lasted 118 days.

The film has made a concerted effort to stay realistic and is set to use authentic team names and drivers, with Lewis Hamilton also having a hand in the movie's production.

Recently, it was suggested that the budget for the film had exceeded $300 million.
