Corrected entry: In the scene at Nürburgring where Niki leaves the pit after his tire change, he closes his helmet visor. In the next shot where he is stuck behind the car the visor is open. (01:09:40)

1 corrected entry
Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Daniel Bruhl, Olivia Wilde, Natalie Dormer
Factual error: At Watkins Glen 1973 there is an accident during practice. That is correct, but Cevert's Tyrrell did not go under the guardrail. It landed on top of it after the crash. In 1974 Helmut Koinigg went under the guardrail and was killed, so this seems to be a hybrid of those two accidents. (00:21:40)
Niki Lauda: Happiness is your biggest enemy. It weakens you. Puts doubts in your mind. Suddenly you have something to lose.
Trivia: The Formula 1 cars you see in this film are Formula 3 vehicles with fake F1 bodywork. They were used because Daniel Bruhl and Chris Hemsworth were not allowed to drive real Formula 1 cars.

Correction: Just as Niki is blocked by Andretti, you can see his right hand is moving to open the visor again.
