And later, fictional team APX GP drummed up interest in the film by releasing a mock-statement.

It read: “During Qualifying, Sonny sustained a significant impact requiring immediate medical evaluation.

“Incidents of this magnitude are always taken seriously and Sonny’s health remains our top priority.
