Brad Pitt has IWC on his racing suit, so I would not expect any TAG Heuer wrist watches on the lead actors.

However, they could easily add TAG Heuer to some of the on-board camera sequences, like they did in the old days.
In rewatching the trailers, I see there's Rolex all over the place, as the filming was done over the last two seasons. Probably too much cost involved to digitally replace Rolex with TAG Heuer in the movie. Hence, catching a glimpse of TAG Heuer on the Red Bulls is likely all we're going to get.

And maybe if the movie shows the Monaco GP, where TAG Heuer advertising panels were very present even during these Rolex years

I hope I'm wrong, but even half as good might be a tall ask. So far, these teaser trailers have been devoid of any plot whatsoever.

But heck, that didn't stop Le Mans from becoming a cult classic. So, we'll see!

Remove expectations, and enjoy it for what it is. 馃榾

(works for every movie ever made, even Ishtar (well...))

I'm just glad that we're getting a new film about proper racing from a proper studio into the box-office cinemas. Yes there's been a lot of fan-made, or low-budget stuff made recently, including the Fassbender film: but it all just disappears into the cess-pit that is You-tube.

We want more films about proper globally known sports.

Quite how a 61 year old man is going to cope driving this crazy dangerous car I'm not sure...

Seems rather odd in a sport that's now obsessed with teenagers... I mean Antonelli looks like he needs a note from his mum.

Hollywood has never been worried about reality..... (much like a lot of the rest of the US by the looks of it... (sorry, sorry...))

I am looking forward to this movie. I have faith that Joseph Kosinski will deliver a high quality and entertaining flic.

Pretty moving recap of Lewis' first few days at Ferrari.

During the F1 livery reveal today, I believe it was Stefano Domenicali who was wearing a Monaco (best I could tell a C11).

Ferrari and McLaren were my two favorite 2025 Livery reveals. Loved how they incorporated their history into their videos.

Isn't it traditionally that every time Ferrari introduce white into their scheme the cars is terrible?

It's been sort of hit or miss. As their video showed, they have won championships with the red & white livery.

Ah, yes I seemed to remember it from one of the year review videos, when someone really third rate was driving for them... Luca Badoer?

I think Ferrari likes to revisit the color scheme from time to time, hoping it'll bring back the 1970's glory years with Lauda. Which I first recalled them doing in 1993, but the car was uncompetitive.

However, Schumacher's Marlboro sponsored cars could also be considered red & white, which brought them their first championship after a very long dry spell. Which led to Ferrari's strongest era.

They're probably hoping that this red & white livery, along with Hamilton, brings them back to the top once more.

Quite a difference to the shade of red between MS鈥檚 car and the one in the launch? Or it just the pictures.
