Others met it with disbelief. The mixed reactions mainly come from wondering how realistic the movie will be. Sonny Hayes's age, which plays a pivotal part in the film, is a big part of the disbelief. Another part is surrounding the actual race craft.

laughable that they shown the exhaust popping from the f2 car ahha

And then there were the fans that immediately started to make jokes about the trailer. One fan joked about the strategy call in the movie giving them flashbacks to when Ferrari discuss their strategy over the radio.

Hearing ‘plan C’ over the radio… giving instant Ferrari flashbacks 😂

Another fan poked fun at Max Verstappen. Verstappen recently used a secret name, Franz Hermann, to test at the Nürburgring. The fan uses his alias instead of his actual name when discussing his driving from the movie.
