Neil Layton, responsible for action vehicles, recently revealed that they used five cars during filming. All cars were replicas with a specially installed protective cage for stuntmen. Drivers were able to use a hydraulic handbrake to perform attractive maneuvers more easily.

One of the stuntmen, Mark Higgins, revealed to Sky Sports F1 that the chase, which lasted about five minutes, was filmed for a full seven weeks in Italy. The cars were also tested by pilots Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel, but they left the performance of acrobatics to experts. Of course, no one complained because filming was a real pleasure.
