A NEW film featuring ex-F1 driver Jenson Button has trigger warnings for “spins and crashes”.
Amazon Prime’s American Thunder: NASCAR to Le Mans tells of the Briton, 45, racing a Chevrolet in the 24-hour event.
Rated 12, it has four warnings from the British Board of Film Classification.
One caution reads: “Cars crash and spin during motor races.
“Archive footage includes a brief and undetailed sight of an explosion.
“There is a fleeting scene of a punch to the face.”
A further warning is for “infrequent strong language”.
Lord Toby Young, of the Free Speech Union, said: “Crashes and spins are why fans are watching.”
The Freedom Association’s Tim Scott added: “These increasingly ridiculous trigger warnings should not be treating fans like fools.”
The BBFC said: “In 2023 85 per cent of caregivers told us our content advice is useful for everyone.”
