New Delhi:- The F1 organization is providing support to production, allowing unprecedented access and even allowing some races to take over pit shops and run cars on track between sessions.

The production also had a large presence in the paddock, including hospitality units and trucks, as well as temporary buildings used to store cameras and other equipment between shoots.

"The quality of the work is really high. It was of a really good standard. It was important for us to distinguish between the live race and the actual race, because of the preparation of the film, which was done with different cuts, camera angles, etc., because it is something untouchable.

Domenicali admitted that creating a fictitious 11th team would be a better solution than using star players in an existing squad. "That was one of the points when we first met to talk about this project," he said. "It was clear that we wanted to do the right thing and give F1 the place it deserves.

"They are true professionals," said Mike Clack, Aston Martin's cinematographer. "It certainly is. Even when we rehearsed how to go from front to back [on the grid], I think they tried 10 to 20 times.

"I think it's the duty of all of us here in Formula 1 to do our best to be able to generate the best publicity possible for the sport." Ferrari's Fred Vasseur said he sees bigger prospects than the collaboration his team can offer. "I hope this product will be great for Formula 1 and that everyone will benefit from it," he said. "I don't care if the engine in their car is a GP2 engine, a Mercedes engine, or something else.
"I think the most important thing is that this kind of story is coming out now at the right time for F1. There is a massive F1 boom going on all over the world and something like this is happening today. There are good reasons for that.” "Given the situation in F1, I think they are much better able to make these kinds of films now than they were 10 years ago."
