==Differences from real life==
* A number of things in the film are exaggerated, notably the Hunt-Lauda rivalry, which in real life they had shared a flat early in their careers and were good friends, or downplayed, such as Lauda's wife Marlene's shock at his disfiguration.
* Hunt's rival at the British F3 race at Crystal Palace was actually Dave Morgan instead of Lauda.
* The Nürburgring had been nicknamed as "The Graveyard" in the movie, but in real life, Jackie Stewart called the Nordschleife as "The Green Hell".
* Lauda won the 1975 drivers' championship title at Monza instead of Watkins Glen. Also at Watkins Glen, Hunt actually finished fourth instead of retiring from a blown engine in the movie.
* Two drivers were only shown rescuing Lauda during his fiery accident at Nürburgring instead of four. Also, in real life, it was Arturo Merzario who pulled Lauda out of the burning car, not Brett Lunger which was depicted in the movie.
* The 1976 Japanese Grand Prix depicted several errors:
** Hunt passed Alan Jones for third to secure the title, not Clay Regazzoni.
** In real life, Jones and Regazzoni finished 4th and 5th respectively, not Regazzoni and Jacques Laffite.
* In the end narration, Lauda describes Hunt, while being a TV broadcaster, met up with Lauda on a bicycle with a flat tire. In reality, Hunt ran out of money and fell into alcohol addiction, and Lauda gave him money in order for him to live a second chance and become a TV commentator.
