Adam Driver answered a question from an audience member at the screening of “Ferrari” at Poland’s Camerimage Film Festival.
“What do you think of [the] Crash scenes? “They looked pretty harsh, drastic and, I have to say, cheesy to me,” the audience member asked Driver during the question-and-answer session after Sunday’s screening. “What do you think?”
The driver simply replied, “Shit, I don’t know? Next question.”

Driver attended the cinematography-focused film festival to accept the EnergaCamerimage Special Actor Award and to introduce “Ferrari,” one of the entries in the main Camerimage competition.
Driver portrays Enzo Ferrari in Michael Mann’s biographical drama, which follows the legendary sports car magnate’s life in 1957 as his company prepares to compete in the Mille Miglia, a 100-mile open-road motorsports race. Penelope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Gabriel Leone, Sarah Gadon and Patrick Dempsey also star.
Back in October, Driver spoke to Variety about getting behind the wheel of a modified “open-wheel single-seater” for the film, calling the experience “terrifying.”
“It teleports you back in time and you realize that if you turn left or right in the wrong direction, you’re dead,” Driver told Variety at the North American premiere of “Ferrari” at the New York Film Festival. “The newer cars at least have seat belts.”
Director Mann had several actors, including Driver, test drive contemporary Ferraris in pre-production.
“I wanted everyone to have the experience of driving these cars on a race track,” Mann told the audience at a morning NYFF press conference.
“Ferrari” hits theaters on December 25th.
