The first trailer has been released for Michael Mann's epic sports drama, Ferrari, starring Adam Driver.
The official premise reads:
'During the summer of 1957, Enzo Ferrari, reeling from the death of his son Dino, the deteriorating marriage with his wife Laura, and his company's impending bankruptcy, enters his racing team to the 1957 Mille Miglia.'
It co-stars Penelope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Gabriel Leone, Sarah Gadon, Jack O'Connell and Patrick Dempsey.
Driver previously revealed that he wasn't even allowed to get behind the wheel of a Ferrari during production.
“They wouldn’t let me drive the cars for insurance reasons," the actor told Collider.
"They don’t trust me with small pieces of equipment. Big pieces of equipment like sandwiches they’ll let me handle.”

Is Ferrari guilty of cultural appropriation?
Driver, Mann and the entire production of Ferrari have been accused of cultural appropriation due to the actor playing Enzo Ferrari despite not being Italian.
It recently premiered at the Venice Film Festival but not everyone is a fan, especially Italian film star Pierfrancesco Favino.
"There's an issue of cultural appropriation," he said this week.
"Instead, the parts are given to foreign actors who are distant from the story's real protagonists, starting with the exotic accents. If a Cuban can't play a Mexican, why can an American play an Italian? It only happens with us.
"In another time (Vittorio) Gassman would have played Ferrari. Now, Driver does it and no one says anything."
