Eagle-eyed F1 fans have spotted a glaring historical inaccuracy in the trailer: a Lotus 102. This 1990 car has sparked outrage amongst purists, particularly those who remember Martin Donnelly’s horrific Jerez crash in a Lotus 102. Conspiracy theories are already circulating: is Sonny Hayes actually a time-traveling Martin Donnelly? Will the movie rewrite F1 history and have Sonny suffer the infamous shunt? Prepare for a barrage of angry tweets from Martin Donnelly himself, armed with historical race data and righteous indignation. Accuracy be damned, Hollywood’s rewriting the past, one Lotus 102 at a time.
