The physical toll that it takes on them, the amount of training that they have to do, you never see that. But we'll certainly show you some of that in the movie. I love to make what I call process movies. I've done it over and over again. I had a TV series called CSI that takes you behind the curtain and shows you what the world is really like and that's what our movie does. You get inside the world of F1 and you see how it actually works. But there's a lot of wonderful dramatic stories I keep telling," reported Deadline.
