Follow Us
Michael Mann’s most awaited movie Ferrari is finally on the screens. While many may think that Lewis Hamilton’s F1 film featuring Brad Pitt has been facing troubles, it’s nothing compared to the Ferrari movie. The movie took 30 years to make. Yes, you read it right, three zero. And yet the movie failed to impress or quench the hype that it made. Now, Enzo Ferrari’s son has come out and exposed three mistakes with the Ferrari movie.
The Ferrari movie featuring Adam Driver was released in Cinemas on the 26th of December. The movie is set in the late 1950s, a time when Enzo Ferrari was on the verge of bankruptcy trying to save his team. His only option to save it was the legendary Mille Miglia, a 1000-mile race across Italy. The movie is based on the struggles and how Enzo Ferrari wagered everything to save him.

With Michael Mann taking 30 years to make the movie, many would’ve expected the movie to be flawless and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. However, the reviews of the movie suggest otherwise. Yahoo titles the movie review as a Bland Ride. The Guardian suggests that the movie is watchable but didn’t live up to the expectations that it set. The Spokesman advises that the movie was stuck in second gear referring to the slow progression in the movie.
And now, Enzo Ferrari’s son, Piero Ferrari, has exposed 3 mistakes in the Ferrari movie. In a video uploaded by Ferrari, Piero Ferrari was asked about De Portago’s portrayal in the movie, to which he replied, “It wasn’t like in the film because it actually happened the previous year. De Portago had already started working with Ferrari by then.” When asked about whether he ever asked De Portago for an Autograph, he replied, “No, that’s a bit of a poetic license in the film, because back then people didn’t ask for autographs or at least I didn’t collect them. But if I remember correctly, neither did my friends, my peers.”
The final mistake from the movie was revealed when Piero Ferrari was asked about his father and whether he actually was the kind of person who’d sacrifice anything to win. He said, “No, he wasn’t like that. He wanted to win. That was always the goal with any of the challenges he set himself. But he didn’t want to win at any cost, especially not by putting drivers’ lives at risk.”
While the Ferrari movie didn’t live up to the expectations, fans are eagerly waiting for the Lewis Hamilton-Brad Pitt movie. It is believed that the movie is going to be as close to real F1 as it could be. But when is it getting released?

As of yet, there is no official announcement made on when the movie will be released. However, Lewis Hamilton did drop a hint.
Lewis Hamilton, when asked about the release date for the movie, said, “Probably early 2025, I would imagine, with the post-work they’d have to do. So yeah, it’s been delayed a lot.” Joseph Kosinski, the director of Top Gun Maverick, is the one in charge of the F1 movie. We can only hope that the F1 movie is as good as the Top Gun.
