I have a crazy theory.

The story of Ford vs Ferrari is exactly the same story as The Hobbit

😂 . So you have Matt Damon as Bilbo. Christian Bale as Thorin. That Henry Ford guy as Gandalf. The VP snide marketing guy as Saruman. Lee Iacocca is Balin . Ferrari/Agnelli is smaug and the win is the stone. Racing is war, Ford even calls it war. The race team are the dwarves.

they even quoted Bilbo in the last scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPfhbEY_3Kw
