When I first heard of this film about the 1976 Formula 1 championship battle between Hunt and Lauda I knew I would be interested in seeing in, then when I heard it was directed by Ron Howard I knew it was essential viewing.
I was not disappointed, despite being relatively low budget this portrays life in Formula 1, the danger, the glamour, and the two very different characters of playboy Hunt and technocrat Lauda.
Despite all the horrific things concerning Lauda's near death the film still has plenty of room of humour and describing the world title that year. Hunt is portrayed somewhat one dimensionally to contrast well with Lauda - but that can be forgiven as it is film and not documentary.
