Notably, Joseph said it was Lewis’s former boss, Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team CEO Toto Wolff, who suggested they build real race cars. “We actually bought six [Formula 2] cars, real F2 race cars, and worked with Mercedes AMG and their engineers to build real race cars that could carry our camera equipment recorders and transmitters for making this film,” Joseph said. “So every time you see Brad or Damson driving in this movie, they’re driving on their own in one of these real race cars on a real F1 track.”
