00:00:49.910 --> 00:00:53.470
...what has turned into a
classic Formula 1 season.
00:00:55.950 --> 00:00:58.449
...with the weather
conditions so uncertain,
00:00:58.450 --> 00:01:00.850
the drivers prepare for...
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.129
...the track is still
dangerously wet,
00:01:04.130 --> 00:01:07.449
but following a drivers meeting,
a decision has been taken.
00:01:07.450 --> 00:01:11.120
Three minutes to go.
Everybody off the grid now.
00:01:25.150 --> 00:01:29.369
25 drivers start every
season in Formula 1,
00:01:29.370 --> 00:01:32.460
and each year, two of us die.
00:01:33.220 --> 00:01:36.619
What kind of person
does a job like this?
00:01:36.620 --> 00:01:39.159
Not normal men, for sure.
00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:40.299
Rebels,
00:01:40.300 --> 00:01:41.659
lunatics,
00:01:41.660 --> 00:01:43.330
dreamers.
00:01:43.630 --> 00:01:46.199
People who are desperate
to make a Mark
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.500
and are prepared to die trying.
00:01:50.510 --> 00:01:52.239
My name is Niki Lauda,
00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:55.439
and racing people know
me for two things.
00:01:55.440 --> 00:01:58.610
The first is my
rivalry with him.
00:02:06.720 --> 00:02:09.219
What about Hunt? Has he changed?
00:02:09.220 --> 00:02:10.759
No, he's going on wets.
00:02:10.760 --> 00:02:13.729
I don't know why it
became such a big thing.
00:02:13.730 --> 00:02:18.269
We were just drivers busting
each other's balls.
00:02:18.270 --> 00:02:20.469
To me this is perfectly normal,
00:02:20.470 --> 00:02:22.699
but other people saw
it differently,
00:02:22.700 --> 00:02:26.200
that whatever it was
between us went deeper.
00:02:42.190 --> 00:02:44.289
The other thing I'm
remembered for
00:02:44.290 --> 00:02:47.959
is what happened on
1st August 1976,
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.020
when I was chasing
him like an asshole.
00:03:19.330 --> 00:03:22.399
Yeah, that's the one. On the
second shelf. Thank you.
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:23.629
Trauma trolley, please.
00:03:23.630 --> 00:03:26.329
I think the racetrack telephoned
ahead that I was coming.
00:03:26.330 --> 00:03:28.170
Hunt. James Hunt.
00:03:32.610 --> 00:03:36.209
What's the matter? No one ever
seen a spot of blood before?
00:03:36.210 --> 00:03:38.970
- Are you all right?
- Absolutely fine.
00:03:41.750 --> 00:03:43.969
We all thought you'd
been in an accident.
00:03:43.970 --> 00:03:45.049
I have.
00:03:45.050 --> 00:03:46.729
If you call a
friendly disagreement
00:03:46.730 --> 00:03:49.250
with another driver an accident.
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.499
What did you disagree about?
00:03:56.500 --> 00:03:58.360
It's none of your business.
00:03:59.330 --> 00:04:00.360
Sorry.
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:02.230
His wife.
00:04:04.370 --> 00:04:06.239
That's going to need a
couple of stitches.
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.539
- It's a nasty cut.
- It was a nasty blow.
00:04:08.540 --> 00:04:10.640
Done with a bloody crowbar.
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.279
- Why? What did you do?
- Nothing.
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.940
Only what she asked me to do.
00:04:18.650 --> 00:04:20.350
Which was...?
00:04:20.960 --> 00:04:23.950
I'd be happy to show
you if you like.
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:29.359
Sorry.
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:33.169
I have a theory why women
like racing drivers.
00:04:33.170 --> 00:04:35.939
It's not because they
respect what we do,
00:04:35.940 --> 00:04:38.439
driving round and
round in circles.
00:04:38.440 --> 00:04:40.409
Mostly they think
that's pathetic
00:04:40.410 --> 00:04:42.439
and they're probably right.
00:04:42.440 --> 00:04:44.930
It's our closeness to death.
00:04:45.350 --> 00:04:48.979
The closer you are to death,
the more alive you feel.
00:04:48.980 --> 00:04:52.589
The more alive you are. And
they can see that in you.
00:04:52.590 --> 00:04:54.580
They feel that in you.
00:04:55.190 --> 00:04:57.529
My name is James Hunt.
00:04:57.530 --> 00:04:59.659
My father is a stockbroker,
00:04:59.660 --> 00:05:01.759
my sister is a barrister
00:05:01.760 --> 00:05:04.369
and my brother is an accountant.
00:05:04.370 --> 00:05:05.919
And I,
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.450
well, I do this.
00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:14.209
It's a wonderful way to live.
It's the only way to drive.
00:05:14.210 --> 00:05:17.010
As if each day is your last.
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.559
I've never been to a
Grand Prix before.
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.219
You still haven't.
00:05:30.220 --> 00:05:33.130
- This is Formula 3.
- What's that?
00:05:33.490 --> 00:05:35.959
That's a lower division,
00:05:35.960 --> 00:05:38.729
where idiots like me mess about
00:05:38.730 --> 00:05:42.099
in the hop of being
talent-spotted to race in F1.
00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:44.269
- You look disappointed.
- No.
00:05:44.270 --> 00:05:47.439
You only slept with me because
you thought I was famous.
00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:49.140
That's not true!
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:51.949
Don't worry. I will be one day.
00:05:51.950 --> 00:05:53.349
Morning, everyone.
00:05:53.350 --> 00:05:55.320
- This is Nursie.
- Gemma.
00:05:55.580 --> 00:05:58.619
Nursie, this is Bubbles
Horsely, team manager.
00:05:58.620 --> 00:06:00.149
How do you do?
00:06:00.150 --> 00:06:01.689
- Bubbles?
- Yeah.
00:06:01.690 --> 00:06:03.989
Doc Postlethwaite, our designer.
00:06:03.990 --> 00:06:05.359
How do you do?
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.990
And Alexander, Lord
Hesketh, the team's owner.
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:11.930
How do you do?
00:06:12.270 --> 00:06:13.729
Fine, thanks.
00:06:13.730 --> 00:06:16.039
Well done, Superstar!
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.339
- That's the car?
- Yep, that's her.
00:06:18.340 --> 00:06:19.740
Lotus 59.
00:06:20.110 --> 00:06:22.939
1000cc. Cosworth Mae engine.
00:06:22.940 --> 00:06:26.140
She's no beauty, but
goes like the slappers.
00:06:32.350 --> 00:06:34.589
Nothing to be worried about.
Does it before every race.
00:06:34.590 --> 00:06:37.229
Good sign, actually.
Means he's stoked.
00:06:37.230 --> 00:06:39.929
All Formula 3 cars to
the assembly area.
00:06:39.930 --> 00:06:41.330
Now, please.
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:55.470
...drivers please bring them
to the scrutineering bay now.
00:06:56.110 --> 00:06:58.009
All right, Superstar?
00:06:58.010 --> 00:06:59.579
Never better, patron.
00:06:59.580 --> 00:07:02.050
- Have a gargle with this.
- Thank you.
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.089
Quick toke of this.
00:07:06.090 --> 00:07:09.389
At Crystal Palace today,
James Hunt's on pole,
00:07:09.390 --> 00:07:12.959
with Austrian newcomer
Niki Lauda alongside him
00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:15.699
and Dave Walker
completing Row 1.
00:07:15.700 --> 00:07:18.629
Row 2 is Mike Beuttler
and Dave Morgan,
00:07:18.630 --> 00:07:20.399
with Tony Trimmer
and Gerry Birrell.
00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:21.539
Who's that?
00:07:21.540 --> 00:07:22.590
He's new.
00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:26.130
- Some German.
- Austrian.
00:07:26.440 --> 00:07:29.409
He's been here since 5 a.m.
walking the track.
00:07:29.410 --> 00:07:32.149
You might actually have to
concentrate today, James.
00:07:32.150 --> 00:07:33.880
You'll need these.
00:07:34.250 --> 00:07:36.220
Okay, start her up.
00:07:36.620 --> 00:07:39.230
Ah! What music!
00:07:39.320 --> 00:07:41.259
They could never
have imagined it,
00:07:41.260 --> 00:07:43.689
those pioneers who
invented the automobile,
00:07:43.690 --> 00:07:45.659
that it would possess
us like this,
00:07:45.660 --> 00:07:48.229
in our imaginations, our dreams.
00:07:48.230 --> 00:07:50.729
Nursie, men love women,
00:07:50.730 --> 00:07:52.699
but even more than that,
00:07:52.700 --> 00:07:55.290
men love cars!
00:08:03.180 --> 00:08:06.410
- Come on, James!
- It's James! Go on, James!
00:08:07.350 --> 00:08:08.650
Go, James!
00:08:16.290 --> 00:08:17.529
Hunt's still in the lead,
00:08:17.530 --> 00:08:20.220
but Niki Lauda is
right on his tail!
00:08:28.470 --> 00:08:31.539
Hunt and Lauda are proving to
be in a class of their own.
00:08:31.540 --> 00:08:33.669
They're leaving the
pack far behind.
00:08:33.670 --> 00:08:36.230
Herr Red Devil's on his tail.
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.450
Lauda takes a look
down the inside...
00:08:44.620 --> 00:08:47.210
...and he's sold him a dummy!
00:08:50.090 --> 00:08:52.629
Lauda is through!
He's in the lead!
00:08:52.630 --> 00:08:56.080
Hunt will be determined to
make up for that mistake.
00:09:01.970 --> 00:09:03.669
Hunt's in Lauda's slipstream.
00:09:03.670 --> 00:09:06.270
Lauda's not leaving any gap.
00:09:11.010 --> 00:09:12.609
The Lotus goes for the inside.
00:09:12.610 --> 00:09:14.910
It's an aggressive
move from Hunt.
00:09:19.290 --> 00:09:20.880
There's contact!
00:09:27.430 --> 00:09:31.269
The leaders have spun out!
Lauda's facing the wrong way!
00:09:31.270 --> 00:09:33.530
The back marker's gone through!
00:09:34.140 --> 00:09:36.239
You can see why Hunter's
fellow drivers call him.
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:37.970
"Hunt the Shunt."
00:09:41.410 --> 00:09:42.409
Asshole!
00:09:42.410 --> 00:09:44.349
- Go on, James!
- The Kraut's out of it!
00:09:44.350 --> 00:09:46.279
Lauda is clearly furious.
00:09:46.280 --> 00:09:49.479
There's every reason to expect
sharp words in the pit.
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.719
It's going to be
victory for Hunt.
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:55.210
It's going to be an ignominious
defeat for Niki Lauda.
00:09:59.560 --> 00:10:03.059
So James Hunt scores his
third major Formula 3 win
00:10:03.060 --> 00:10:05.199
of the season here,
at Crystal Palace,
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.039
after a desperate
battle with Niki Lauda.
00:10:08.040 --> 00:10:10.039
Lauda was unable so restart
00:10:10.040 --> 00:10:12.939
after Hunt's aggressive move
caused them both to spin out
00:10:12.940 --> 00:10:15.239
in the last lap of the race.
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:17.079
Hard luck. Better
luck next time.
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:18.200
Hey, asshole!
00:10:20.010 --> 00:10:22.379
That was my line. I
had that corner.
00:10:22.380 --> 00:10:24.149
You mean the one
that you spun out of
00:10:24.150 --> 00:10:25.989
and finished facing
the other way?
00:10:25.990 --> 00:10:27.759
I think that corner had you.
00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:30.489
That move was total suicide.
What if I hadn't braked?
00:10:30.490 --> 00:10:33.229
- We'd have crashed.
- But we didn't, did we?
00:10:33.230 --> 00:10:36.460
Thanks to your impeccable
survival instincts.
00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:39.730
Fuck you! What's your name?
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.400
James Simon Wallis Hunt.
00:10:43.770 --> 00:10:46.039
Remember it, my
little Jerry friend.
00:10:46.040 --> 00:10:49.139
- Jawohl! Remember ze name.
- It's very simple.
00:10:49.140 --> 00:10:51.479
Hunt, it rhymes with cunt!
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.740
A word that happens to
describe you perfectly.
00:10:55.220 --> 00:10:56.349
Who was that?
00:10:56.350 --> 00:10:59.650
I've no idea. He looks
like a rat, doesn't he?
00:11:01.220 --> 00:11:02.719
In my hometown, Vienna,
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:05.029
my family's famous
for one thing:
00:11:05.030 --> 00:11:06.150
Business.
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:09.159
My grandfather was
a businessman,
00:11:09.160 --> 00:11:10.720
my father, too.
00:11:11.330 --> 00:11:14.629
So when they heard I wanted
to race cars for a living,
00:11:14.630 --> 00:11:16.500
They are a few things to say.
00:11:41.400 --> 00:11:42.360
Good.
00:12:03.380 --> 00:12:06.019
So if my family wasn't
going to help me,
00:12:06.020 --> 00:12:09.559
I decided to risk everything
and take out a Loan myself.
00:12:09.560 --> 00:12:12.489
I found a Formula 1
team with an Ok car
00:12:12.490 --> 00:12:14.799
and an owner who had
run out of money
00:12:14.800 --> 00:12:17.129
and was willing to
accept my terms.
00:12:17.130 --> 00:12:19.169
And so, ladies and gentlemen,
00:12:19.170 --> 00:12:20.969
I'm delighted to say...
00:12:20.970 --> 00:12:23.639
that the winner of the Guild
of Motoring Writers Award.
00:12:23.640 --> 00:12:25.939
Driver of the Year...
00:12:25.940 --> 00:12:27.340
is James Hunt.
00:12:30.580 --> 00:12:32.070
Superb news!
00:12:33.010 --> 00:12:35.110
- Well done, James.
- Superstar!
00:12:35.520 --> 00:12:36.480
Fantastic!
00:12:39.350 --> 00:12:41.019
- Well done.
- Thank you so much.
00:12:41.020 --> 00:12:42.159
Yes!
00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:45.460
My parents always wanted
me to be a doctor
00:12:46.130 --> 00:12:48.699
or a stockbroker or something.
They gave me
00:12:48.700 --> 00:12:51.969
the first-class education, but
that went all terribly wrong
00:12:51.970 --> 00:12:54.400
and I ended up with you lot.
00:12:56.670 --> 00:12:59.470
Thank you. I need it
more than you do.
00:13:00.370 --> 00:13:02.609
I mean, I have a hot head,
00:13:02.610 --> 00:13:04.679
an inability to
tolerate discipline...
00:13:04.680 --> 00:13:06.379
- Yes!
- Very true!
00:13:06.380 --> 00:13:08.979
I fall out with people
left and right.
00:13:08.980 --> 00:13:10.989
The only creatures
I've ever really loved
00:13:10.990 --> 00:13:13.480
or treated honorably
are budgerigars.
00:13:15.020 --> 00:13:18.229
So in any normal area of
life, I'd be, or I am,
00:13:18.230 --> 00:13:19.729
a total liability.
00:13:19.730 --> 00:13:22.199
The only thing I've got going
for me is I'm quick in a car.
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.329
So thank you for this and
for acknowledging that.
00:13:24.330 --> 00:13:26.199
I'm going to give
it to my father
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:27.669
and tell him to put
it on the mantelpiece
00:13:27.670 --> 00:13:30.600
and imagine it's a first-class
degree in medicine.
00:13:45.050 --> 00:13:47.019
Well done, Superstar.
00:13:47.020 --> 00:13:48.359
Another season like that,
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:49.759
I'll move you up
to the big time.
00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:51.529
Come on, you don't
think I'm ready now?
00:13:51.530 --> 00:13:52.759
You are.
00:13:52.760 --> 00:13:55.099
I'm not. I've got to
find you a car first.
00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:56.699
Well, go on, then.
00:13:56.700 --> 00:13:58.399
Chop chop. Don't wait too long.
00:13:58.400 --> 00:14:00.099
You don't want him to
do what Lauda just did.
00:14:00.100 --> 00:14:03.039
- Why? What did he do?
- Got himself a drive, with BRM.
00:14:03.040 --> 00:14:05.139
How the hell did he do that?
He's a nobody.
00:14:05.140 --> 00:14:06.509
He's never won a bloody thing.
00:14:06.510 --> 00:14:08.609
Apparently, took out a
Loan and bought his way in
00:14:08.610 --> 00:14:10.479
with two million
Austrian shillings.
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:11.640
Jesus.
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:32.099
Niki Lauda.
00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:34.660
Here for pre-season testing.
BRM?
00:14:35.640 --> 00:14:38.940
Sign the release form. I'll
let them know you're here.
00:14:50.250 --> 00:14:52.019
- Mr. Stanley.
- Good morning.
00:14:52.020 --> 00:14:53.950
- Good morning.
- Clay!
00:14:54.660 --> 00:14:57.619
Let me introduce you to
our number one driver.
00:14:57.620 --> 00:14:59.390
Clay Regazzoni.
00:15:00.990 --> 00:15:02.990
- How are you?
- Good.
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:04.469
Pleasure.
00:15:04.470 --> 00:15:07.029
And these are your mechanics.
00:15:07.030 --> 00:15:09.560
They're reporting
exclusively to you,
00:15:10.040 --> 00:15:11.509
as per contract.
00:15:11.510 --> 00:15:12.609
Pleasure.
00:15:12.610 --> 00:15:15.040
- Do you wanna see the car')
- Sure.
00:15:16.780 --> 00:15:17.740
Hello.
00:15:23.280 --> 00:15:25.580
There she is. P160.
00:15:26.420 --> 00:15:29.880
- Same as Regazzoni's?
- Identical in every detail.
00:15:30.190 --> 00:15:31.989
How much does she weigh?
00:15:31.990 --> 00:15:34.559
- 600 kilos.
- But that's crazy.
00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:37.259
- Why so heavy?
- It's a V12 engine.
00:15:37.260 --> 00:15:40.329
That lump weighs
190K on its own.
00:15:40.330 --> 00:15:41.300
Okay.
00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:44.969
What horsepower are you getting?
00:15:44.970 --> 00:15:47.569
- No, no, 450.
- It's not enough.
00:15:47.570 --> 00:15:49.009
It needs to be 500.
00:15:49.010 --> 00:15:50.639
And the engine needs to be.
00:15:50.640 --> 00:15:52.479
- We already tried.
- Tried what?
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:53.479
Everything
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:54.979
We replaced the entire
exhaust system.
00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:58.580
- Barely made the difference.
- Are you using magnesium parts?
00:16:11.430 --> 00:16:12.729
Now the engine block.
00:16:12.730 --> 00:16:15.669
Any mounting or fixing
plates, strip it out also.
00:16:15.670 --> 00:16:17.099
When you've done that,
00:16:17.100 --> 00:16:19.039
we have to look at
the aerodynamics,
00:16:19.040 --> 00:16:20.730
front and rear wing.
00:16:37.930 --> 00:16:40.290
Okay, thank you. Good night.
00:17:00.310 --> 00:17:02.580
What was Regazzoni's time?
00:17:03.450 --> 00:17:05.189
1:53.
00:17:05.190 --> 00:17:08.489
Okay, now put him in my car and
he'll go 2 seconds faster.
00:17:08.490 --> 00:17:11.460
- Well, that's impossible.
- No chance.
00:17:13.730 --> 00:17:16.599
We've been working
on it all night.
00:17:16.600 --> 00:17:19.069
Put Regazzoni in the car.
See what happens.
00:17:19.070 --> 00:17:20.529
I don't understand. Why
am I supposed to do this?
00:17:20.530 --> 00:17:21.539
I don't know, Clay.
00:17:21.540 --> 00:17:24.030
He wants you to
take it for a spin.
00:17:25.210 --> 00:17:26.430
Gloves, please.
00:18:12.190 --> 00:18:15.019
- I'd say we push it...
- All right.
00:18:15.020 --> 00:18:17.289
What did you do to the car?
00:18:17.290 --> 00:18:19.129
That's information
I'll share with you
00:18:19.130 --> 00:18:21.089
under certain conditions only.
00:18:21.090 --> 00:18:22.120
Go on.
00:18:23.330 --> 00:18:25.369
A guaranteed place in the team.
00:18:25.370 --> 00:18:27.069
And a paid contract
on equal terms
00:18:27.070 --> 00:18:29.369
with Regazzoni for two years.
00:18:29.370 --> 00:18:30.899
Are you crazy?
00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:33.269
Clay's a senior figure in F1.
00:18:33.270 --> 00:18:34.939
You're just a rookie!
00:18:34.940 --> 00:18:37.609
The only reason we took you on
is because you're paying us.
00:18:37.610 --> 00:18:39.979
Well, as of now, if
you want me to stay,
00:18:39.980 --> 00:18:42.479
we rip up the contract,
I don't pay you a cent.
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:44.319
That's outrageous!
00:18:44.320 --> 00:18:46.580
Was he quicker in my car?
00:18:47.050 --> 00:18:49.020
He was, wasn't he?
00:18:49.590 --> 00:18:52.110
Did he go two seconds faster?
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:56.890
Two point three.
00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:02.169
So, have a think,
00:19:02.170 --> 00:19:05.300
work out your priorities
and get back to me.
00:19:19.690 --> 00:19:20.650
Hey, Niki.
00:19:23.390 --> 00:19:26.589
I know what you're going to say,
that it's none of my business.
00:19:26.590 --> 00:19:27.560
What?
00:19:28.930 --> 00:19:32.330
If it's the track manager you're
taking on your date tonight.
00:19:33.270 --> 00:19:35.039
It's none of your business.
00:19:35.040 --> 00:19:37.269
Okay, but if you want my advice,
00:19:37.270 --> 00:19:39.070
I'd let this one go.
00:19:39.970 --> 00:19:43.200
I'm not questioning your taste.
She is a great girl, but...
00:19:45.250 --> 00:19:47.409
Agnes' last boyfriend
00:19:47.410 --> 00:19:49.579
was a British Formula 2 driver
00:19:49.580 --> 00:19:51.989
who has a reputation
for two things,
00:19:51.990 --> 00:19:54.549
for being a little
crazy on the track...
00:19:54.550 --> 00:19:57.289
and for going all
night and all day
00:19:57.290 --> 00:19:59.989
and all night again in bed.
He's a good driver,
00:19:59.990 --> 00:20:02.359
but an immortal fuck apparently.
00:20:02.360 --> 00:20:04.299
I don't know about you,
but that's not an act
00:20:04.300 --> 00:20:06.320
I'd like to follow.
00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:11.100
But if that doesn't
bother you...
00:20:12.510 --> 00:20:15.200
What's his name, the driver?
00:20:16.110 --> 00:20:17.910
Hunt. James Hunt.
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:23.979
You see, you share information
00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:25.980
and I share information.
00:20:26.290 --> 00:20:28.620
That's what teammates are for.
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:42.300
- Where the hell are we going?
- I promise it'll be worth it.
00:20:42.670 --> 00:20:44.439
Just keep them closed.
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:45.630
Wait for it.
00:20:46.710 --> 00:20:48.110
Wait for it.
00:20:52.050 --> 00:20:53.049
There.
00:20:53.050 --> 00:20:54.310
What do you say?
00:20:54.610 --> 00:20:56.210
She's Formula 1.
00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:58.719
Yes, she is, Superstar.
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.659
Your brother and I got together
with the bean counters.
00:21:01.660 --> 00:21:03.719
And since the economics
of F1 are not
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.429
so significantly different
to the economics of F2,
00:21:06.430 --> 00:21:09.329
well, we thought if we were
going to be losing money,
00:21:09.330 --> 00:21:12.469
we might as well be doing it on
the big roulette table in F1.
00:21:12.470 --> 00:21:15.730
You fat, little, inbred beauty.
Come here.
00:21:20.110 --> 00:21:23.679
Actually, credit where it's
due, we got the idea from Niki.
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:25.279
- Who?
- Lauda.
00:21:25.280 --> 00:21:27.679
Bought his way in
rather than mess about
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:29.079
in the lower divisions.
I thought
00:21:29.080 --> 00:21:30.379
"Bloody hell, he's right."
00:21:30.380 --> 00:21:32.289
No sponsorship, Superstar.
00:21:32.290 --> 00:21:33.649
I hope you approve.
00:21:33.650 --> 00:21:37.380
No vulgar logos for
cigarettes or condoms.
00:21:38.130 --> 00:21:40.189
Just plain white with the flags.
00:21:40.190 --> 00:21:42.250
And racing overalls
00:21:43.260 --> 00:21:44.390
which read
00:21:44.970 --> 00:21:47.660
"Sex. Breakfast of champions."
00:21:50.070 --> 00:21:51.630
So when do we start?
00:21:52.970 --> 00:21:55.409
- Soon as you're ready.
- Ready?
00:21:55.410 --> 00:21:58.070
I've been waiting for
this my whole life.
00:21:58.980 --> 00:22:01.310
VILLAGE OF WATKINS GLEN
00:22:09.220 --> 00:22:11.259
When the season started,
people wondered
00:22:11.260 --> 00:22:13.129
whether Lord Hesketh
and his team
00:22:13.130 --> 00:22:15.529
of upper-class enthusiasts
were bringing glamour
00:22:15.530 --> 00:22:18.330
to the racing community
or just comedy.
00:22:18.670 --> 00:22:21.069
Certainly it was the first
time anyone had seen
00:22:21.070 --> 00:22:24.200
a Butler sewing oysters
and caviar in the pits.
00:22:24.470 --> 00:22:27.369
But they have made
quite an impact.
00:22:27.370 --> 00:22:30.979
6th in France, 4th in
Britain and 3rd in Holland.
00:22:30.980 --> 00:22:34.109
All drivers on the track,
caution flags are out.
00:22:34.110 --> 00:22:36.649
A severe crash at the Esses.
00:22:36.650 --> 00:22:39.089
Red flag. There's a
car off the track.
00:22:39.090 --> 00:22:41.089
And reports are reaching
me that there's been
00:22:41.090 --> 00:22:43.319
a serious accident
in qualifying.
00:22:43.320 --> 00:22:45.529
The identity of the driver
we don't currently have,
00:22:45.530 --> 00:22:48.399
but as you can tell from
all the activity going on
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:52.129
towards the track, it was clearly
a grave incident indeed.
00:22:52.130 --> 00:22:54.699
We will, of course, have more
information as we get it,
00:22:54.700 --> 00:22:58.160
but it is the sight and sound
of F1 nobody likes to see.
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:05.170
- Get your hands off me!
- Hey, come on!
00:23:14.520 --> 00:23:18.059
Drivers of top stature we've
lost just in the past 4 seasons
00:23:18.060 --> 00:23:20.250
have included Piers Courage,
00:23:20.530 --> 00:23:21.620
Jochen Rindt,
00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:23.690
Jo Siffert,
00:23:24.630 --> 00:23:26.099
Roger Williamson
00:23:26.100 --> 00:23:28.239
and today, at Watkins Glen,
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:31.140
Formula 1 has claimed
another driver.
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:34.169
The Tyrrell team have
withdrawn from the race.
00:23:34.170 --> 00:23:36.479
Their places on the grid
will be left empty.
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:39.149
- Terrible.
- They should cancel the race.
00:23:39.150 --> 00:23:40.130
Why?
00:23:40.650 --> 00:23:43.649
He made a mistake, went
into the corner too fast.
00:23:43.650 --> 00:23:45.019
It's his fault.
00:23:45.020 --> 00:23:47.249
- Is that right?
- It's obvious.
00:23:47.250 --> 00:23:49.319
Look at the tyre marks.
00:23:49.320 --> 00:23:52.659
So says the nobody, who had
to pay for his own drive.
00:23:52.660 --> 00:23:54.589
How's that working out
for you, by the way?
00:23:54.590 --> 00:23:55.690
Fine.
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:58.129
How is it at the back?
00:23:58.130 --> 00:24:00.600
Not planning on being
there for long.
00:24:01.470 --> 00:24:04.300
Ten minutes to the warm-up lap.
Ten minutes.
00:24:07.540 --> 00:24:08.730
Arsehole.
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:13.779
Heading into the Grand Hotel
hairpin, second gear.
00:24:13.780 --> 00:24:16.779
Turn in hard, looking
for late apex,
00:24:16.780 --> 00:24:18.440
gentle with the bar.
00:24:19.250 --> 00:24:21.589
Heading into Portier,
second gear,
00:24:21.590 --> 00:24:22.919
clip the apex,
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:24.659
light brake, stay in second,
00:24:24.660 --> 00:24:26.559
looking for a good exit.
00:24:26.560 --> 00:24:28.499
Heading through the
tunnel, gradual right,
00:24:28.500 --> 00:24:31.459
up through third,
fourth, fifth...
00:24:31.460 --> 00:24:33.300
ls Alexander around?
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:36.060
Yes, he was.
00:24:36.600 --> 00:24:38.609
He went back to the
house to take a call.
00:24:38.610 --> 00:24:40.309
He'll be back shortly.
00:24:40.310 --> 00:24:43.309
He only wanted to show
me his pride and Joy.
00:24:43.310 --> 00:24:46.009
Rhymes with 'boy' if you ask me.
00:24:46.010 --> 00:24:47.270
And 'toy.'
00:24:48.010 --> 00:24:49.719
God, it's so flimsy.
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:52.319
For something that
costs so much.
00:24:52.320 --> 00:24:56.020
There's no comfort, no
protection, nothing.
00:24:56.360 --> 00:24:59.059
No, it's just a little
coffin, really.
00:24:59.060 --> 00:25:01.960
Surrounded by high-octane
fuel in here.
00:25:02.260 --> 00:25:04.960
Being driven round 170 mph.
00:25:05.270 --> 00:25:08.600
To all intents and purposes,
this thing's a bomb on wheels.
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:11.430
You're James, aren't you?
00:25:12.770 --> 00:25:13.740
Yes.
00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:17.110
You fit the description.
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:18.710
Is that right?
00:25:19.750 --> 00:25:22.019
Suzy. Friend of Alex's.
00:25:22.020 --> 00:25:23.210
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:23.650 --> 00:25:25.280
I know exactly.
00:25:26.690 --> 00:25:28.559
What was the description?
00:25:28.560 --> 00:25:30.219
Mostly positive in
terms of appearance.
00:25:30.220 --> 00:25:32.429
Negative only in
terms of character.
00:25:32.430 --> 00:25:34.890
I've been told to avoid you.
00:25:35.130 --> 00:25:36.290
By whom?
00:25:36.930 --> 00:25:38.199
Alexander.
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:40.229
He says you're a bad boy.
00:25:40.230 --> 00:25:42.339
Alexander doesn't know
what he's talking about.
00:25:42.340 --> 00:25:44.399
I was. I'm not anymore.
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:46.469
The new me is very professional.
00:25:46.470 --> 00:25:48.209
Early to bed, early to rise.
00:25:48.210 --> 00:25:49.540
All very dull,
00:25:49.940 --> 00:25:51.379
but according to the team,
00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:54.509
the best way to keep beating
the goose stepper.'
00:25:54.510 --> 00:25:56.449
Is that what you were
doing when I came in?
00:25:56.450 --> 00:25:59.389
Yes, visualization techniques,
memorising the circuit,
00:25:59.390 --> 00:26:02.120
in this case Monaco,
which is up next.
00:26:06.990 --> 00:26:09.429
Personally I've always
been a great believer
00:26:09.430 --> 00:26:11.359
in getting there on the
day, putting my foot down
00:26:11.360 --> 00:26:13.590
and playing chicken
with everyone else.
00:26:15.100 --> 00:26:16.669
But they don't want me
doing that anymore.
00:26:16.670 --> 00:26:20.300
They want my body like a Temple
and my mind like a monk.
00:26:21.140 --> 00:26:23.639
And what about your
soul, your heart?
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:26.040
They've got ideas
about that, too.
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:28.619
They want me to stop
messing around,
00:26:28.620 --> 00:26:31.949
settle down, get married with
the next nice girl I meet.
00:26:31.950 --> 00:26:34.149
They think that'd
be good for me.
00:26:34.150 --> 00:26:35.659
What do you think?
00:26:35.660 --> 00:26:37.680
It sounds fucking awful.
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:42.699
But sine they're right
about most things,
00:26:42.700 --> 00:26:45.160
they're probably right
about that too.
00:26:45.470 --> 00:26:48.400
You don't fancy getting
married, do you?
00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:14.430
Suzy.
00:27:15.260 --> 00:27:16.990
JUST MARRIED
00:27:17.460 --> 00:27:19.460
Hey, hey, hey!
00:27:22.900 --> 00:27:25.209
- What's going on with him?
- Nothing. Nothing.
00:27:25.210 --> 00:27:27.209
Didn't want to ruin your day.
00:27:27.210 --> 00:27:28.330
It's...
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:31.110
- it's the Kraut.
- What about him?
00:27:32.180 --> 00:27:34.309
He's just been
signed by Ferrari.
00:27:34.310 --> 00:27:36.180
You're kidding me?
00:27:36.550 --> 00:27:38.349
Jesus. How did that happen?
00:27:38.350 --> 00:27:40.149
Did he buy his way in there too?
00:27:40.150 --> 00:27:43.019
Well, the old man
took Regazzoni back
00:27:43.020 --> 00:27:45.229
and he insisted
on it apparently.
00:27:45.230 --> 00:27:48.420
He says that Niki's a
genius setting up the cars.
00:27:55.970 --> 00:27:58.340
FERRARI TEST TRACK
FIORANO, ITALY
00:28:06.710 --> 00:28:09.179
It's terrible.
Drives like a pig.
00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:12.089
- You can't say that.
- Why not?
00:28:12.090 --> 00:28:14.589
- It's a Ferrari!
- It's a shitbox!
00:28:14.590 --> 00:28:16.619
It understeers like crazy
and the weight distribution
00:28:16.620 --> 00:28:18.089
is a disaster.
00:28:18.090 --> 00:28:19.489
It's amazing, all
these facilities
00:28:19.490 --> 00:28:21.930
and you make a piece
of crap like this.
00:28:52.430 --> 00:28:54.129
"Ferrari family,"
00:28:54.130 --> 00:28:55.929
"our good friend
Clay Regazzoni."
00:28:55.930 --> 00:28:58.259
You are family and friend
to the commendatore
00:28:58.260 --> 00:28:59.599
as long as you win.
00:28:59.600 --> 00:29:01.199
The minute you
don't, ciao, ciao.
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:02.699
I totally understand.
00:29:02.700 --> 00:29:04.099
It's business.
00:29:04.100 --> 00:29:05.509
I would do the same.
00:29:05.510 --> 00:29:07.709
But it isn't just
business, is it?
00:29:07.710 --> 00:29:10.339
What we do. It's passion, love.
00:29:10.340 --> 00:29:13.309
Which is why we are prepared
to risk our lives for it.
00:29:13.310 --> 00:29:14.349
Not me.
00:29:14.350 --> 00:29:16.519
If I had more talent and
could earn better money
00:29:16.520 --> 00:29:18.989
with something else, I would.
00:29:18.990 --> 00:29:20.989
How do you know you
will make money here?
00:29:20.990 --> 00:29:22.659
You haven't yet.
00:29:22.660 --> 00:29:24.850
Not yet, but I will.
00:29:25.430 --> 00:29:28.020
If you can, I can.
00:29:31.260 --> 00:29:34.200
You know, are you
ever not an asshole?
00:29:34.530 --> 00:29:36.539
- Why am I an asshole?
- Well...
00:29:36.540 --> 00:29:40.109
By now I'm both quicker than you
and better at setting up a car.
00:29:40.110 --> 00:29:42.379
You can't deal with it,
so you're the asshole.
00:29:42.380 --> 00:29:43.640
Screw you.
00:29:50.980 --> 00:29:52.419
I brought you along today
00:29:52.420 --> 00:29:54.449
because you seem like
a lonely kind of guy.
00:29:54.450 --> 00:29:56.619
I thought if I introduced
you to some nice people,
00:29:56.620 --> 00:29:58.319
that could rub off on you.
00:29:58.320 --> 00:29:59.489
Forget it.
00:29:59.490 --> 00:30:01.129
Make your own friends.
00:30:01.130 --> 00:30:02.559
Come on, Clay.
00:30:02.560 --> 00:30:03.960
I'm sorry.
00:30:39.500 --> 00:30:41.130
Are you leaving?
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:42.970
Yes.
00:30:43.470 --> 00:30:45.469
Can you give me a lift
to the nearest town,
00:30:45.470 --> 00:30:48.000
anywhere with a train station?
00:30:48.410 --> 00:30:49.380
Sure.
00:30:50.010 --> 00:30:52.309
Trento's half an hour's drive.
00:30:52.310 --> 00:30:53.340
Get in.
00:31:20.370 --> 00:31:22.039
What are you doing?
00:31:22.040 --> 00:31:24.109
You hear that noise
when you accelerate?
00:31:24.110 --> 00:31:26.379
- No.
- Your fan belt is loose.
00:31:26.380 --> 00:31:27.610
My What?
00:31:28.080 --> 00:31:30.649
And when you brake, your
foot goes all the way down,
00:31:30.650 --> 00:31:32.489
which means there's
air in the system.
00:31:32.490 --> 00:31:34.650
- Anything else?
- No.
00:31:35.620 --> 00:31:38.320
Apart from the rear
brakes are worn out,
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:40.589
the front right
tyre is a bit soft,
00:31:40.590 --> 00:31:43.190
which explains why
you're weaving so much.
00:31:43.660 --> 00:31:45.229
How can you tell?
00:31:45.230 --> 00:31:47.099
- My ass.
- Sorry?
00:31:47.100 --> 00:31:49.299
God gave me an Ok mind,
00:31:49.300 --> 00:31:52.339
but a really good ass which
can feel everything in a car.
00:31:52.340 --> 00:31:53.969
You don't know what
you're talking about.
00:31:53.970 --> 00:31:56.439
This car is fine. I just
had a service a week ago.
00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:57.509
Not a good one.
00:31:57.510 --> 00:32:00.379
Yes, a very good
one, very expensive.
00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:02.940
This car's as good as new.
Relax.
00:32:10.090 --> 00:32:12.559
- You're not in a hurry, are you?
- No.
00:32:12.560 --> 00:32:15.390
As long as I'm back in
Maranello Monday morning.
00:33:31.040 --> 00:33:32.000
Yes.
00:33:41.950 --> 00:33:44.749
- Actually, we do, yeah.
- It's my honor, Niki.
00:33:44.750 --> 00:33:47.219
- Thank you.
- My car is your car.
00:33:47.220 --> 00:33:49.159
On one condition, though.
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:51.189
It's a piece of shit.
It's dog shit.
00:33:51.190 --> 00:33:54.180
But if you drive it, you
make my life, Niki, eh?
00:34:10.980 --> 00:34:13.509
Would someone please
tell me what's going on?
00:34:13.510 --> 00:34:16.450
- Who are you? Should I know you?
- What, you don't know?
00:34:16.980 --> 00:34:19.419
He's Niki Lauda,
Formula 1 driver,
00:34:19.420 --> 00:34:21.249
and he just signed with Ferrari.
00:34:21.250 --> 00:34:22.589
- Him?
- Yes.
00:34:22.590 --> 00:34:24.589
- Impossible.
- Why?
00:34:24.590 --> 00:34:27.089
Well, you know,
Formula 1 drivers,
00:34:27.090 --> 00:34:29.299
they have long hair, are sexy...
00:34:29.300 --> 00:34:31.229
their shins are open to here.
00:34:31.230 --> 00:34:32.929
- Thank you.
- Yes.
00:34:32.930 --> 00:34:36.270
Anyway, look at the way he's
driving, like an old man.
00:34:40.570 --> 00:34:42.409
There's no need to drive fast.
00:34:42.410 --> 00:34:45.109
It just increases the
percentage of risk.
00:34:45.110 --> 00:34:47.279
We're not in a hurry.
I'm not being paid.
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:50.049
Right now, with zero
incentive or reward,
00:34:50.050 --> 00:34:52.040
why would I drive fast?
00:34:53.620 --> 00:34:56.020
Because I'm asking you to.
00:35:59.520 --> 00:36:02.519
This is an incredible
battle between Niki Lauda
00:36:02.520 --> 00:36:04.959
in the red Ferrari
and James Hunt
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:06.930
in the white Hesketh.
00:36:07.660 --> 00:36:09.429
...the challenge
of Niki Lauda...
00:36:09.430 --> 00:36:12.469
Lauda attacking Hunt. He
gets through on the inside.
00:36:12.470 --> 00:36:14.269
Goes wide at the exit.
00:36:14.270 --> 00:36:15.739
Hunt is past again.
00:36:15.740 --> 00:36:19.009
Once more, Lauda tries
to sneak up the inside.
00:36:19.010 --> 00:36:22.379
They're absolutely side
by side, wheel to wheel.
00:36:22.380 --> 00:36:24.339
So evenly matched.
00:36:24.340 --> 00:36:27.209
Fantastic battle between
these two great drivers.
00:36:27.210 --> 00:36:29.440
Hunt is now ahead once more.
00:36:30.580 --> 00:36:32.589
But Lauda's coming
back again now.
00:36:32.590 --> 00:36:35.449
Lauda once more
sneaks up the inside.
00:36:35.450 --> 00:36:38.459
And again he runs wide.
Again the Hesketh...
00:36:38.460 --> 00:36:41.650
- Suzy, we're ready, come on.
- Just one second.
00:36:42.090 --> 00:36:44.890
- Can we go, yeah?
- Okay, yeah.
00:36:45.330 --> 00:36:48.469
We're in the closing laps of
this race at Watkins Glen.
00:36:48.470 --> 00:36:50.330
They come down the hill.
00:36:51.070 --> 00:36:53.009
And Hunt's got a problem!
00:36:53.010 --> 00:36:55.469
Hunt pulls across to the left!
00:36:55.470 --> 00:36:58.310
Lauda goes ahead on his own.
00:36:59.380 --> 00:37:02.309
A sad end to a wonderful battle.
00:37:02.310 --> 00:37:05.010
Hunt pushing off the marshal.
00:37:13.430 --> 00:37:16.129
The chequered flag
is waiting for Lauda
00:37:16.130 --> 00:37:17.560
and for Ferrari!
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:21.969
The title going to Niki Lauda,
00:37:21.970 --> 00:37:23.369
who wins the race,
00:37:23.370 --> 00:37:26.600
who wins the World Championship.
00:37:39.120 --> 00:37:42.140
Do I look like a
racing driver now?
00:38:07.380 --> 00:38:10.180
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
00:38:11.250 --> 00:38:12.380
Marlene.
00:38:13.950 --> 00:38:16.059
With a car like that,
the rest of us
00:38:16.060 --> 00:38:18.189
never stood a chance, did we?
00:38:18.190 --> 00:38:21.189
Maybe the car being so good
has something to do with me.
00:38:21.190 --> 00:38:22.959
Come on, Niki.
You're in a Ferrari.
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:24.229
I'm in a Hesketh.
00:38:24.230 --> 00:38:26.069
Equal terms, the way
it was in Formula 3,
00:38:26.070 --> 00:38:28.429
- Id' beat you and you know it.
- Never.
00:38:28.430 --> 00:38:30.599
You might win one
race, maybe two,
00:38:30.600 --> 00:38:32.039
because you're aggressive.
00:38:32.040 --> 00:38:33.969
But in the long run, over
the course of a season,
00:38:33.970 --> 00:38:35.109
no chance.
00:38:35.110 --> 00:38:36.379
Right. Why is that?
00:38:36.380 --> 00:38:38.039
Because to be a champion,
00:38:38.040 --> 00:38:39.349
it takes more than
just being quick.
00:38:39.350 --> 00:38:40.979
It's the whole picture.
00:38:40.980 --> 00:38:43.249
You're just a charger
and a party guy.
00:38:43.250 --> 00:38:44.949
That's why everybody likes you.
00:38:44.950 --> 00:38:47.890
Try saying that and tell
me you're not jealous.
00:38:48.090 --> 00:38:50.959
Why would I be jealous?
Think about it.
00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:53.259
All that affection,
all those smiles,
00:38:53.260 --> 00:38:55.229
is a sign of disrespect.
00:38:55.230 --> 00:38:57.959
They don't fear you. Whereas
compared that to me.
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.369
Yes, compared to you,
whom no one likes.
00:39:00.370 --> 00:39:02.199
- Right.
- Not even his own teammates.
00:39:02.200 --> 00:39:05.039
Right. Because I'm
a serious guy.
00:39:05.040 --> 00:39:07.709
I go to bed early, I look
after myself, after my car.
00:39:07.710 --> 00:39:10.709
- Yes, you're very well-behaved.
- Go to work, kick ass.
00:39:10.710 --> 00:39:12.339
And then, after the
race, I go home
00:39:12.340 --> 00:39:13.949
instead of going to bars
00:39:13.950 --> 00:39:16.719
and talk all this bullshit
with all these assholes.
00:39:16.720 --> 00:39:18.110
Arseholes?
00:39:18.450 --> 00:39:20.980
You should go home
more often too.
00:39:24.260 --> 00:39:26.190
I heard you got married.
00:39:27.430 --> 00:39:28.980
Yes, I did.
00:39:30.260 --> 00:39:33.430
So where is she, this
mysterious wife?
00:39:34.170 --> 00:39:35.930
In New York, working.
00:39:37.540 --> 00:39:40.039
You know, I've never
seen you with her once.
00:39:40.040 --> 00:39:41.230
No?
00:39:43.210 --> 00:39:46.209
Well, maybe that's because
you're always at home,
00:39:46.210 --> 00:39:48.379
on your own, looking
after yourself,
00:39:48.380 --> 00:39:50.370
being a good little boy.
00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:56.520
Take a drink on me, James.
00:39:57.490 --> 00:40:00.390
Thank you, Niki. I
might just have two.
00:40:11.240 --> 00:40:12.669
Right, Bubbles,
00:40:12.670 --> 00:40:15.339
whatever it takes to beat
that prick next year,
00:40:15.340 --> 00:40:16.609
just say it,
00:40:16.610 --> 00:40:18.379
you're word is my command.
00:40:18.380 --> 00:40:20.679
There are no lengths to
which I will not go.
00:40:20.680 --> 00:40:22.310
And I mean it.
00:40:24.120 --> 00:40:26.280
What the hell's going on?
00:40:28.150 --> 00:40:30.019
Where is everybody?
00:40:30.020 --> 00:40:31.550
What's the matter?
00:40:36.230 --> 00:40:38.629
Do you know what the
date it is today?
00:40:38.630 --> 00:40:41.499
Yes. It's November, the 14th.
Why?
00:40:41.500 --> 00:40:45.370
Do you have any idea of the
significance of that date?
00:40:47.170 --> 00:40:50.570
I don't know. Time to
start killing pheasants?
00:40:52.610 --> 00:40:55.749
Actually, it's the deadline
for securing sponsorship
00:40:55.750 --> 00:40:58.449
for the forthcoming
Formula 1 season.
00:40:58.450 --> 00:40:59.449
Yes?
00:40:59.450 --> 00:41:01.519
Which elapsed at
midnight last night
00:41:01.520 --> 00:41:03.989
- and we didn't attract any.
- Well, so?
00:41:03.990 --> 00:41:06.289
We aren't looking
for sponsorship.
00:41:06.290 --> 00:41:10.130
Like you said, condoms an
cigarettes, vulgar, right?
00:41:10.460 --> 00:41:11.430
Right.
00:41:13.330 --> 00:41:15.630
Except we are, or were.
00:41:18.440 --> 00:41:21.630
I've made something
of a miscalculation.
00:41:22.040 --> 00:41:25.170
The economics, Formula
1, realities thereof.
00:41:26.580 --> 00:41:30.210
It turns out not like the
lower divisions at all.
00:41:32.250 --> 00:41:34.050
What are you saying?
00:41:36.020 --> 00:41:38.650
I'm saying it's over, Superstar.
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:43.290
The banks have stepped in,
started laying everyone off.
00:41:44.500 --> 00:41:47.060
Probably have to
sell this place.
00:41:48.030 --> 00:41:49.300
On, Christ.
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:34.270
I need a drive, Pete. I need
you to find me a drive.
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:36.640
I mean, what about Lotus?
00:42:37.180 --> 00:42:38.949
You don't wanna know.
00:42:38.950 --> 00:42:41.110
- Actually, I do.
- Okay.
00:42:43.690 --> 00:42:46.289
They felt your
reputation preceded you.
00:42:46.290 --> 00:42:48.230
And what does that mean?
00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:52.690
It's my other line. Look,
I'll get back to you.
00:42:55.030 --> 00:42:56.139
Peter Hunt.
00:42:56.140 --> 00:42:57.100
Fuck!
00:43:08.310 --> 00:43:11.210
Don't worry. Something
will turn up.
00:43:18.420 --> 00:43:21.190
Doubt that will help
in the meantime.
00:43:23.500 --> 00:43:26.169
Why don't we go away
at the weekend?
00:43:26.170 --> 00:43:27.290
Skiing.
00:43:27.930 --> 00:43:30.130
Before I go back to New York.
00:43:33.010 --> 00:43:36.109
Talk to me, James. Don't
make a stranger of me.
00:43:36.110 --> 00:43:39.670
You know, Suzy, only a stranger
would invite me skiing
00:43:40.610 --> 00:43:44.010
when they know I haven't
got a fucking drivel
00:43:49.590 --> 00:43:51.280
I can't watch this.
00:43:51.990 --> 00:43:54.659
What were you hoping for anyway?
00:43:54.660 --> 00:43:57.259
A well-adjusted knight
in shining armour?
00:43:57.260 --> 00:43:58.990
No danger of that.
00:43:59.300 --> 00:44:01.499
- Let me give you some advice.
- I'm all ears.
00:44:01.500 --> 00:44:03.469
Don't go to men who are
willing to kill themselves
00:44:03.470 --> 00:44:05.769
driving in circles
looking for normality.
00:44:05.770 --> 00:44:07.439
I never expected normality.
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:09.479
God knows I walked into
this with my eyes open.
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:12.179
I just hoped I'd married someone
who is half as impressive
00:44:12.180 --> 00:44:14.209
on the inside as he
is on the outside!
00:44:14.210 --> 00:44:16.249
At least there's something
behind the facade.
00:44:16.250 --> 00:44:19.319
- James.
- Fuck off to New York, dear.
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:21.619
There must be a moisturiser
or an eye shadow somewhere
00:44:21.620 --> 00:44:24.560
that needs your vapid
mush to flog it.
00:45:00.130 --> 00:45:01.729
- Hello?
- Hi, James.
00:45:01.730 --> 00:45:04.920
It's Peter. Something's
up at McLaren.
00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:07.969
- What have you heard?
- Nothing. Why?
00:45:07.970 --> 00:45:10.969
I heard Emerson's off.
He's dumped them in it.
00:45:10.970 --> 00:45:13.109
Jesus. Get me in there, Pete.
00:45:13.110 --> 00:45:15.400
Say anything, just
get me in that room.
00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:22.449
I'll come straight to the point.
00:45:22.450 --> 00:45:25.479
- Our esteemed lead driver...
- Fitti-fucking-paldi.
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:28.119
Has ditched us for another
team at the last minute.
00:45:28.120 --> 00:45:30.389
- Coper-fucking-sucar.
- And we need a replacement.
00:45:30.390 --> 00:45:32.450
Asa-fucking-P.
00:45:33.230 --> 00:45:35.959
Fortunately a few hands
have already gone up,
00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:37.299
good people.
00:45:37.300 --> 00:45:40.230
- Jacky Ickx.
- I'm quicker than Jacky.
00:45:40.470 --> 00:45:43.369
But he's consistent, dependable.
00:45:43.370 --> 00:45:44.639
A grown-up.
00:45:44.640 --> 00:45:48.109
Right, and will he go for that
gap when no one else will?
00:45:48.110 --> 00:45:50.939
Will he put his life on the
line the day it really matters?
00:45:50.940 --> 00:45:52.509
The sponsors like him.
00:45:52.510 --> 00:45:54.609
What do you want, a driver
or a brush salesman?
00:45:54.610 --> 00:45:56.679
- We wanna be successful.
- Yes, so do I.
00:45:56.680 --> 00:45:58.219
But that means
beating Niki Lauda,
00:45:58.220 --> 00:46:00.019
not being a show
pony for sponsors.
00:46:00.020 --> 00:46:01.689
I heard about this
thing with Niki.
00:46:01.690 --> 00:46:03.150
Everyone has.
00:46:03.620 --> 00:46:05.219
You really thing
you can beat him?
00:46:05.220 --> 00:46:06.529
I'd beat him in a McLaren.
00:46:06.530 --> 00:46:09.460
It's the only car out there
as quick as the Ferrari.
00:46:09.730 --> 00:46:12.259
Which is why I'm here, begging.
00:46:12.260 --> 00:46:13.699
I'll do whatever you ask.
00:46:13.700 --> 00:46:15.969
I'll put on a tie, I'll
smile for sponsors,
00:46:15.970 --> 00:46:17.969
say the right things.
00:46:17.970 --> 00:46:20.400
I can beat this guy, trust me.
00:46:21.110 --> 00:46:23.409
Just give me the drive.
00:46:23.410 --> 00:46:25.639
Yeah, he can be a loose canon.
00:46:25.640 --> 00:46:28.049
And, yeah, he will
drive you all mad,
00:46:28.050 --> 00:46:31.179
but in terms of raw
talent and right stuff,
00:46:31.180 --> 00:46:33.449
there is no better
driver in the world.
00:46:33.450 --> 00:46:35.689
He's the real thing, Teddy.
00:46:35.690 --> 00:46:38.289
He's what we all
came into this for.
00:46:38.290 --> 00:46:40.589
Nine days out of ten you'll
be pulling your hair out,
00:46:40.590 --> 00:46:43.659
but on that tenth day
James will be unbeatable.
00:46:43.660 --> 00:46:46.259
That is the day you will wish
you had him in your car.
00:46:46.260 --> 00:46:49.099
You'll never win the
championship with Jacky Ickx.
00:46:49.100 --> 00:46:51.900
You just might with James.
00:46:59.040 --> 00:47:01.440
GRANDE PREMIO DO
BRAZIL INTERLAGOS
00:47:02.410 --> 00:47:03.610
JANUARY 1976
00:47:13.290 --> 00:47:16.499
Welcome to Säo Paulo, Brazil,
and the Interlagos circuit
00:47:16.500 --> 00:47:19.769
for the first race in the
1976 Formula 1 season,
00:47:19.770 --> 00:47:23.099
where the main news is James
Hunt qualified fastest,
00:47:23.100 --> 00:47:25.569
beating Niki Lauda's
Ferrari to pole position
00:47:25.570 --> 00:47:28.300
by just 200th of a second.
00:47:29.640 --> 00:47:30.970
New car.
00:47:31.380 --> 00:47:33.540
- I noticed.
- Pole position.
00:47:34.180 --> 00:47:35.649
I noticed that too.
00:47:35.650 --> 00:47:38.419
Level playing field now,
my rally little friend.
00:47:38.420 --> 00:47:39.419
Yeah.
00:47:39.420 --> 00:47:41.649
Let's see where we
are after lap one.
00:47:41.650 --> 00:47:44.420
Let's see where we are
in five races time.
00:47:45.260 --> 00:47:47.629
Hunt has the pit
Lane pole position,
00:47:47.630 --> 00:47:49.259
which should give
him the best chance
00:47:49.260 --> 00:47:51.429
of outdragging Lauda's Ferrari.
00:47:51.430 --> 00:47:53.269
If ever there was a doubt about
00:47:53.270 --> 00:47:56.329
whether Lauda had a serious
challenger to this season,
00:47:56.330 --> 00:47:59.630
Hunt and his McLaren have
certainly given us the answer.
00:48:08.610 --> 00:48:10.349
BRAZIL LAUDA WINS
00:48:10.350 --> 00:48:12.370
HUNT HAS ENGINE FAILURE
00:48:14.090 --> 00:48:16.089
GRAND PRIX SOUTH AFRICA 76
00:48:16.090 --> 00:48:18.589
Here in South Africa,
James Hunt is determined
00:48:18.590 --> 00:48:22.120
to make amends after that
disastrous retirement in Brazil.
00:48:23.230 --> 00:48:26.899
But it's Lauda who takes
the flag here at Kyalami.
00:48:26.900 --> 00:48:28.929
James Hunt comes home second
00:48:28.930 --> 00:48:31.369
to confirm his championship
challenge at last
00:48:31.370 --> 00:48:34.400
and score his first
points of the season.
00:48:35.070 --> 00:48:38.979
That wind you can feel is me
breathing down your neck.
00:48:38.980 --> 00:48:41.000
Next time I'll have you.
00:48:42.080 --> 00:48:43.880
We'll see in Spain.
00:49:00.570 --> 00:49:03.360
SPAIN-HUNT WINS LAUDA 2ND
00:49:04.070 --> 00:49:07.569
James Hunt finally takes his
first victory of the season
00:49:07.570 --> 00:49:10.409
here in Spain, after
a brilliant drive.
00:49:10.410 --> 00:49:12.970
It was only a matter of time.
00:49:29.330 --> 00:49:32.199
- It's too wide.
- Disqualified.
00:49:32.200 --> 00:49:34.669
- What?
- You're disqualified.
00:49:34.670 --> 00:49:36.569
How can we be disqualified?
00:49:36.570 --> 00:49:38.900
- 1.5 cm.
- It's the same car.
00:49:46.080 --> 00:49:49.510
...McLaren M23 has proved
very controversial here.
00:49:50.650 --> 00:49:53.049
Just make it narrower.
I don't care how.
00:49:53.050 --> 00:49:55.089
New rear suspension.
New wishbones.
00:49:55.090 --> 00:49:57.959
I wanna make sure this
thing is legal, no doubts.
00:49:57.960 --> 00:50:00.689
Then we'd better move the oil
coolers to the old position.
00:50:00.690 --> 00:50:03.229
- The wing brackets need...
- Fuck.
00:50:03.230 --> 00:50:05.890
What the fuck d'you
think we're doing?
00:50:09.300 --> 00:50:11.200
GRAND PRIX MONACO 76
00:50:15.210 --> 00:50:18.209
And with Hunt disqualified
from his Spain win,
00:50:18.210 --> 00:50:21.049
his championship here
is not going well.
00:50:21.050 --> 00:50:23.519
And now it's all gone
wrong here at Monaco!
00:50:23.520 --> 00:50:25.420
His engine is smoking!
00:50:27.450 --> 00:50:30.419
Smoke pouring from the
engine of that McLaren!
00:50:30.420 --> 00:50:31.759
And James Hunt is out!
00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:33.549
Can you tell us what happened?
00:50:33.550 --> 00:50:35.459
Sure. It's magic, we've
taken a great car,
00:50:35.460 --> 00:50:37.359
a great piece of engineering
and overnight turned it
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:39.960
into a big, huge stinking turd.
00:50:40.700 --> 00:50:42.930
BELGIUM MAY 1976
00:50:52.140 --> 00:50:53.110
Shit!
00:50:57.050 --> 00:50:59.049
What the hell have you done?
The car's evil!
00:50:59.050 --> 00:51:00.749
It's fucking undriveable!
00:51:00.750 --> 00:51:03.319
If there's a problem with
the car, we'll fix it.
00:51:03.320 --> 00:51:05.389
The car is a piece of shit.
You should be appealing this.
00:51:05.390 --> 00:51:07.229
- We are appealing.
- We'll son it out.
00:51:07.230 --> 00:51:09.689
- They're killing us out there.
- Go an get your dick wet.
00:51:09.690 --> 00:51:11.659
- You're a wanker!
- Fuck you!
00:51:11.660 --> 00:51:13.629
You're fucking wanker!
00:51:13.630 --> 00:51:15.729
But this was a good
race for you, no, Niki?
00:51:15.730 --> 00:51:17.139
It's good for everyone
00:51:17.140 --> 00:51:19.039
that the quickest car
happens to be a legal car.
00:51:19.040 --> 00:51:21.939
James, your 50 points behind
Lauda in the championship.
00:51:21.940 --> 00:51:23.709
You've had another
retirement today.
00:51:23.710 --> 00:51:25.239
What's going wrong?
00:51:25.240 --> 00:51:27.249
It's dirty politics
and dirty tricks,
00:51:27.250 --> 00:51:29.149
that's what's going wrong.
00:51:29.150 --> 00:51:31.379
So as we approach
the halfway point
00:51:31.380 --> 00:51:33.419
in this year's Formula 1 season,
00:51:33.420 --> 00:51:36.689
Ferrari and Niki Lauda
seem clearly on top
00:51:36.690 --> 00:51:40.029
and James Hunt and
McLaren are struggling.
00:51:40.030 --> 00:51:43.360
So, five races in,
how's it going so far?
00:51:43.700 --> 00:51:47.299
It's fine. Just got a little
problem with an Austrian rat
00:51:47.300 --> 00:51:50.369
and his team of Italian cheats
who've destroyed my car.
00:51:50.370 --> 00:51:53.509
- What are you talking about?
- About the race in Spain I won.
00:51:53.510 --> 00:51:55.369
Yeah, in a car which
is not legal.
00:51:55.370 --> 00:51:57.109
Five eighths of
an inch too wide.
00:51:57.110 --> 00:51:59.409
You know that doesn't have the
slightest effect on speed.
00:51:59.410 --> 00:52:01.109
But you complained and
your team of lawyers
00:52:01.110 --> 00:52:04.079
leaned on the authorities. Now
we've had to rebuild the car
00:52:04.080 --> 00:52:06.689
- and it's become a monster.
- At least it's a legal monster.
00:52:06.690 --> 00:52:08.489
You've had to
resort to cheating.
00:52:08.490 --> 00:52:11.759
You're driving an illegal car and
call me a cheater? Pathetic.
00:52:11.760 --> 00:52:15.429
- Rules are rules.
- Yes, and rats are rats.
00:52:15.430 --> 00:52:17.360
Thank you. Thank you.
00:52:19.630 --> 00:52:22.229
Do you really think
it upsets me, James,
00:52:22.230 --> 00:52:25.199
calling me a rat because
I look like one?
00:52:25.200 --> 00:52:26.570
I don't mind it.
00:52:27.110 --> 00:52:29.109
Rats are ugly, sure,
and nobody like them,
00:52:29.110 --> 00:52:30.579
but they're very intelligent
00:52:30.580 --> 00:52:32.939
and they have a strong
survival instinct.
00:52:32.940 --> 00:52:33.910
Wonderful.
00:52:36.380 --> 00:52:38.440
No wonder she left him.
00:52:55.430 --> 00:52:57.370
Anyone seen Suzy?
00:52:58.740 --> 00:53:01.239
She's supposed to be here today.
00:53:01.240 --> 00:53:04.730
We didn't wanna tell
you before the race.
00:53:05.210 --> 00:53:06.340
Tell me what?
00:53:07.150 --> 00:53:09.409
SUZY JOINS THE BURTON SHOW.
00:53:09.410 --> 00:53:12.319
HUNT'S WIFE SEES ACTOR
AS LIZ FLIES TO MUM
00:53:12.320 --> 00:53:13.380
Jesus.
00:53:15.050 --> 00:53:16.389
Blonde model Suzy Hunt
00:53:16.390 --> 00:53:19.089
stepped on to the dizzy
Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton
00:53:19.090 --> 00:53:21.180
roundabout of romance yesterday.
00:53:38.580 --> 00:53:40.100
Is that from him?
00:53:40.450 --> 00:53:41.410
Yeah.
00:53:48.250 --> 00:53:50.350
So when did all this start?
00:53:51.620 --> 00:53:53.920
That weekend I went skiing.
00:53:56.730 --> 00:53:59.130
Why have you come here, James?
00:53:59.660 --> 00:54:01.630
I've got to get you back.
00:54:02.370 --> 00:54:04.499
You don't want me back.
00:54:04.500 --> 00:54:06.339
You never wanted to be
married in the first place.
00:54:06.340 --> 00:54:09.009
- Yes, I did.
- Oh, come on, James.
00:54:09.010 --> 00:54:11.639
You did it because you
hoped it might change you,
00:54:11.640 --> 00:54:13.749
settle you down, help
with the racing.
00:54:13.750 --> 00:54:15.279
No, I didn't.
00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:17.679
And who knows, if it had
been just the drinking,
00:54:17.680 --> 00:54:20.670
or the dope, or the
infidelity or the moods,
00:54:21.220 --> 00:54:23.219
it might even have worked.
00:54:23.220 --> 00:54:25.219
- But when it's all of them...
- Yes, I know, I'm terrible.
00:54:25.220 --> 00:54:27.210
No, you're not terrible.
00:54:27.930 --> 00:54:31.450
You're just who you are at
this point in your life.
00:54:33.260 --> 00:54:35.700
God help anyone who wants more.
00:54:37.670 --> 00:54:39.369
And Richard Burton,
00:54:39.370 --> 00:54:41.930
will he be able
to give you more?
00:54:42.310 --> 00:54:45.939
You know, he has quite the
bad boy reputation himself.
00:54:45.940 --> 00:54:48.679
What's important is
how it feels to me,
00:54:48.680 --> 00:54:51.670
and it feels like he adores me.
00:54:57.620 --> 00:54:58.590
James!
00:54:59.290 --> 00:55:01.729
Are you and Suzy
getting back together?
00:55:01.730 --> 00:55:03.999
It's all very amicable.
00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:06.459
My wife has found
herself a new backer...
00:55:06.460 --> 00:55:09.229
I mean, lover, which
makes her happy.
00:55:09.230 --> 00:55:11.999
And Mr. Burton has found a
way of feeling young again,
00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:13.199
which makes him happy.
00:55:13.200 --> 00:55:16.169
Let's hope his pockets are deep.
They'll need to be.
00:55:16.170 --> 00:55:18.639
And I found a way to be
single and have an ex-wife
00:55:18.640 --> 00:55:20.649
without it costing me a Penny,
00:55:20.650 --> 00:55:23.410
which has to go down as the
biggest win of my career.
00:55:23.950 --> 00:55:25.970
I have a flight to catch.
00:55:59.380 --> 00:56:02.010
SUZY HUNT RACES
TO RICHARD BURTON
00:56:48.270 --> 00:56:50.670
CIRCUIT PAUL RICARD
CHAMPIONNAT DU MONDE
00:56:53.100 --> 00:56:55.369
We haven't seen this
sort of intensity
00:56:55.370 --> 00:56:57.579
from James Hunt all season long.
00:56:57.580 --> 00:57:00.379
Reports have been coming out
of the McLaren camp all week
00:57:00.380 --> 00:57:03.970
that their car is now fully
legal and faster than ever.
00:57:07.450 --> 00:57:09.480
FRANCE-HUNT WINS LAUDA RETIRES
00:57:13.590 --> 00:57:16.259
Never mind the bloody wets.
We're still quick.
00:57:16.260 --> 00:57:18.029
BRITISH GRAND PRIX
00:57:18.030 --> 00:57:19.699
BRANDS HATCH SUNDAY
18TH JULY 1976
00:57:19.700 --> 00:57:21.999
Hunt has really closed
the gap on Lauda
00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:23.970
as they head into Druids.
00:57:25.200 --> 00:57:28.209
Niki Lauda is under real
pressure from James Hunt
00:57:28.210 --> 00:57:30.870
as they go up the hill
into Druids Corner.
00:57:36.280 --> 00:57:38.880
And Hunt is in front of Lauda!
00:57:46.090 --> 00:57:48.389
So James Hunt gets the
plaudits of the crowd,
00:57:48.390 --> 00:57:50.959
the first Briton to win
a British Grand Prix
00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:54.420
at Brands Hatch since
Jim Clark in 1964.
00:57:56.970 --> 00:57:59.939
James, at the moment you've got
a terrific edge over the rest,
00:57:59.940 --> 00:58:02.209
how have you achieved
this advantage?
00:58:02.210 --> 00:58:03.370
Big balls.
00:58:05.310 --> 00:58:08.249
Following an inquiry into
the disqualification
00:58:08.250 --> 00:58:11.219
of driver James Hunt from
the Spanish Grand Prix,
00:58:11.220 --> 00:58:14.489
it has been decided to
overturn this disqualification
00:58:14.490 --> 00:58:18.050
and to restore his victory
and reinstate his points.
00:58:24.030 --> 00:58:25.159
James!
00:58:25.160 --> 00:58:28.129
A few weeks ago you were out
of the running completely
00:58:28.130 --> 00:58:30.999
and now you're right back in it.
What's changed?
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:32.939
It's a combination of factors,
00:58:32.940 --> 00:58:35.439
not all of which I'm
prepared to discuss here.
00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:38.539
But justice being done re the
disqualification in Spain
00:58:38.540 --> 00:58:41.600
helps and having my car
back at its best again.
00:58:44.420 --> 00:58:46.210
Are you worried?
01:01:29.950 --> 01:01:32.519
Welcome to the
legendary Nüburgring.
01:01:32.520 --> 01:01:35.219
This is a 14.2 mile track,
01:01:35.220 --> 01:01:38.660
complete with 185
corners and bends.
01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:39.319
Welcome to the Nüburgring,
01:02:39.320 --> 01:02:42.189
the most dangerous circuit
on the season calendar.
01:02:42.190 --> 01:02:43.749
In Formula 1 it is known
01:02:43.750 --> 01:02:45.289
as "The Graveyard."
01:02:45.290 --> 01:02:47.159
The weather conditions
are far from ideal
01:02:47.160 --> 01:02:50.620
and latest reports indicate
there is no relief in sight.
01:02:54.970 --> 01:02:56.020
Gentlemen.
01:02:57.230 --> 01:03:00.039
Well, gentlemen,
please be quiet.
01:03:00.040 --> 01:03:01.339
Thank you.
01:03:01.340 --> 01:03:03.200
- Niki Lauda.
- Thank you.
01:03:04.710 --> 01:03:08.149
I called this meeting because,
as all you drivers know,
01:03:08.150 --> 01:03:10.679
the Nüburgring is the most
stupid, barbaric, outdated
01:03:10.680 --> 01:03:12.479
and dangerous track
in the world.
01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:14.649
You've all seen the rain
that has been falling today.
01:03:14.650 --> 01:03:16.689
Those of you with
experience know the ring
01:03:16.690 --> 01:03:19.559
needs perfect conditions to
be even remotely acceptable
01:03:19.560 --> 01:03:21.159
in terms of risk.
01:03:21.160 --> 01:03:23.459
And today, with the rain,
it's anything but perfect,
01:03:23.460 --> 01:03:26.499
so I called this meeting to
take vote to cancel the race.
01:03:26.500 --> 01:03:28.190
Cancel the race?
01:03:28.670 --> 01:03:31.239
There would be no
change to the situation
01:03:31.240 --> 01:03:32.569
as far as points is concerned.
01:03:32.570 --> 01:03:34.169
The race would
simply be cancelled.
01:03:34.170 --> 01:03:35.239
This is bullshit!
01:03:35.240 --> 01:03:37.379
If the race is cancelled,
none of us get our race fees.
01:03:37.380 --> 01:03:39.709
That's true, you leave
without your fee,
01:03:39.710 --> 01:03:41.979
but you might leave
with your life.
01:03:41.980 --> 01:03:44.119
It also means that you
would effectively win
01:03:44.120 --> 01:03:45.950
the championship.
01:03:46.320 --> 01:03:49.149
So I can see why this
suits you just fine.
01:03:49.150 --> 01:03:50.219
Why?
01:03:50.220 --> 01:03:52.119
There won't be no
points for me either.
01:03:52.120 --> 01:03:55.659
No, but there'd be one race less
where I, or anyone else here,
01:03:55.660 --> 01:03:57.959
- could catch you.
- James is right.
01:03:57.960 --> 01:04:00.029
This is just tactics!
01:04:00.030 --> 01:04:02.630
Maybe he's just frightened.
01:04:03.300 --> 01:04:05.500
Which asshole said this?
01:04:10.610 --> 01:04:12.979
Yes, of course, I'm frightened,
01:04:12.980 --> 01:04:14.410
and so are you.
01:04:16.010 --> 01:04:18.049
I accept every time
I get in my car
01:04:18.050 --> 01:04:21.289
there's 20% chance I could
die, and I can live with it,
01:04:21.290 --> 01:04:23.389
but not one percent more.
01:04:23.390 --> 01:04:26.159
And today, with the
rain, the risk is more.
01:04:26.160 --> 01:04:29.259
I suppose that all depends on
how good you are in the rain.
01:04:29.260 --> 01:04:31.199
I have the track record here.
01:04:31.200 --> 01:04:34.129
I'm the only person in history
to do the ring in under 7 Min.,
01:04:34.130 --> 01:04:37.660
so, actually, it's to my
advantage to race here today.
01:04:38.170 --> 01:04:40.600
Because I'm quicker
than all of you.
01:04:42.140 --> 01:04:45.339
- Come on.
- Fine. Then let's race.
01:04:45.340 --> 01:04:46.330
Yeah!
01:04:47.110 --> 01:04:49.409
- Niki, let's race.
- Gentlemen, please.
01:04:49.410 --> 01:04:51.680
Why are we here, Niki? Come on.
01:04:56.150 --> 01:04:59.650
Well, all those in favor
of cancelling the race.
01:05:09.730 --> 01:05:12.260
All those in favor of racing.
01:05:18.210 --> 01:05:20.300
Gentlemen, the race is on.
01:05:26.450 --> 01:05:29.350
- Ridiculous.
- What a waste of time.
01:05:29.990 --> 01:05:31.719
You know, Niki,
every now and then
01:05:31.720 --> 01:05:34.210
it helps if people like you.
01:05:49.310 --> 01:05:51.679
In places the track is
still dangerously wet,
01:05:51.680 --> 01:05:54.340
but following a drivers meeting,
a decision has been taken.
01:06:02.620 --> 01:06:04.490
One minute to go.
01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:17.200
Jochen's going on slicks.
You wanna change?
01:06:17.640 --> 01:06:19.999
- Is Niki gonna change?
- No.
01:06:20.000 --> 01:06:22.340
Then we stay on wets too.
01:06:29.710 --> 01:06:32.440
- Niki, okay?
- I'm good.
01:06:33.650 --> 01:06:35.880
All right, fire her up.
01:06:50.070 --> 01:06:53.269
This season's fight for
the F1 World Championship
01:06:53.270 --> 01:06:56.309
has so far been the
story of two men.
01:06:56.310 --> 01:07:00.139
Thus far it's been going pretty
much the way of Niki Lauda.
01:07:00.140 --> 01:07:02.709
But James Hunt has
qualified fastest here.
01:07:02.710 --> 01:07:05.349
He is on pole position for
the German Grand Prix
01:07:05.350 --> 01:07:08.610
with Niki Lauda alongside
in the blood-red Ferrari.
01:07:10.650 --> 01:07:12.189
It's a long race.
01:07:12.190 --> 01:07:14.189
If the track starts to dry out,
01:07:14.190 --> 01:07:17.720
the wet-weather tyres will
no longer be as quick.
01:07:38.250 --> 01:07:40.119
Niki Lauda and James Hunt,
01:07:40.120 --> 01:07:42.219
side by side on the
front of the grid,
01:07:42.220 --> 01:07:44.620
go away absolutely as one!
01:07:58.670 --> 01:08:00.739
Lauda very aggressive
on Hunt there,
01:08:00.740 --> 01:08:03.370
forcing the McLaren
onto the grass.
01:08:07.140 --> 01:08:10.749
Lauda has the lead right now!
He leads into the first corner!
01:08:10.750 --> 01:08:12.940
Hunt is in second place!
01:08:17.720 --> 01:08:20.089
Mass storming past Hunt!
01:08:20.090 --> 01:08:23.550
He made the right choice to go
with the dry-weather tyres.
01:08:24.330 --> 01:08:26.429
Mass passing Lauda now!
01:08:26.430 --> 01:08:30.469
Jochen Mass, in the number
12 McLaren, takes the lead!
01:08:30.470 --> 01:08:33.199
Jochen Mass, the clear
leader, with everybody else
01:08:33.200 --> 01:08:35.369
making the decision
to change tyres
01:08:35.370 --> 01:08:37.109
after just one lap of this race.
01:08:37.110 --> 01:08:38.970
Come on, let's go!
01:08:47.120 --> 01:08:51.089
See? I told you to go on slicks.
You should've taken my advice.
01:08:51.090 --> 01:08:53.319
Fuck off. Where's Niki?
01:08:53.320 --> 01:08:56.450
Behind you. He made
the same mistake.
01:09:08.310 --> 01:09:09.290
Come on!
01:09:12.740 --> 01:09:15.370
Come on! What's going on?
01:09:15.680 --> 01:09:19.479
The tyre-changing frenzy caused
a huge reshuffling of the pack,
01:09:19.480 --> 01:09:22.320
- with Mass in the lead now.
- You're clear. Go!
01:09:25.160 --> 01:09:27.350
Lauda urging his
mechanics to hurry.
01:09:30.190 --> 01:09:32.960
It's a disaster! Come on!
01:09:43.910 --> 01:09:45.570
What's going on, you assholes?
01:10:09.030 --> 01:10:11.699
This race has gone
wrong for him so far.
01:10:11.700 --> 01:10:13.639
His championship
rival, James Hunt,
01:10:13.640 --> 01:10:15.660
is a long way up the road.
01:10:26.020 --> 01:10:28.349
Lauda passing car after car.
He's just going past.
01:10:28.350 --> 01:10:30.620
Mario Andretti's Lotus there.
01:11:17.570 --> 01:11:18.540
Niki!
01:11:24.340 --> 01:11:25.670
Get me out!
01:11:25.940 --> 01:11:26.910
Help me!
01:11:29.610 --> 01:11:31.519
Several cars are involved.
01:11:31.520 --> 01:11:33.920
Looks like it might be
one of the Ferraris.
01:11:41.060 --> 01:11:43.390
- Come this way!
- Come on, come on!
01:11:55.670 --> 01:11:57.070
Keep trying
01:12:04.250 --> 01:12:06.380
- Come this way.
- Okay.
01:13:44.350 --> 01:13:47.219
The flood, which swept down Big
Thompson Canyon in Colorado,
01:13:47.220 --> 01:13:49.649
was the worst since
records began.
01:13:49.650 --> 01:13:52.419
In Formula 1 today, victory
celebrations were muted
01:13:52.420 --> 01:13:54.629
after a horrific accident
involving world champion.
01:13:54.630 --> 01:13:56.329
Niki Lauda.
01:13:56.330 --> 01:13:58.359
Due to safety concerns
before the race,
01:13:58.360 --> 01:14:00.659
the Austrian had said
he would not take pan,
01:14:00.660 --> 01:14:02.630
but in the end he did.
01:14:03.430 --> 01:14:06.039
He was making up for lost time
when he went off the track,
01:14:06.040 --> 01:14:08.369
puncturing the
Ferrari's fuel tank.
01:14:08.370 --> 01:14:11.339
Brett Lunger was unable to
avoid the flaming wreck
01:14:11.340 --> 01:14:14.279
but was unhurt and joined other
drivers to rescue Lauda,
01:14:14.280 --> 01:14:17.309
who was taken to Manheim
Hospital with severe burns,
01:14:17.310 --> 01:14:20.949
the incident reminding us again
of the dangers of Formula 1.
01:14:20.950 --> 01:14:23.049
Niki Lauda was trapped
for almost a minute
01:14:23.050 --> 01:14:26.110
in a searing inferno
of 800-plus degrees.
01:16:10.230 --> 01:16:15.160
James Hunt gains on the
absent Niki Lauda.
01:16:18.370 --> 01:16:21.270
28th DAY IN HOSPITAL
29th August 1976.
01:19:12.380 --> 01:19:14.739
- Morning, chaps.
- Hey, here's the man.
01:19:14.740 --> 01:19:16.080
Looking good.
01:19:19.650 --> 01:19:22.219
- What's going on?
- Jesus. It's Niki.
01:19:22.220 --> 01:19:24.419
- What about him?
- He's here.
01:19:24.420 --> 01:19:26.340
- What?
- He's racing.
01:19:41.540 --> 01:19:42.510
Niki.
01:19:49.580 --> 01:19:51.210
It's that bad, huh?
01:19:52.280 --> 01:19:53.250
No.
01:19:54.580 --> 01:19:58.119
In hospital, I asked them
straight, no bullshit,
01:19:58.120 --> 01:20:00.959
how bad my appearance would be.
01:20:00.960 --> 01:20:03.959
They said with time
it would be fine.
01:20:03.960 --> 01:20:05.290
But it won't.
01:20:06.400 --> 01:20:09.420
I can tell, seeing
your reaction.
01:20:10.330 --> 01:20:12.199
I'll spend the rest of my life
01:20:12.200 --> 01:20:15.040
with a face that
frightens people.
01:20:17.370 --> 01:20:20.739
You know, Niki, I tried to write
you a letter at the time,
01:20:20.740 --> 01:20:22.230
to apologise.
01:20:22.980 --> 01:20:25.649
The drivers' meeting in
Germany, before the race.
01:20:25.650 --> 01:20:28.519
- I swayed the room.
- Yes, you did.
01:20:28.520 --> 01:20:31.289
That race should never
have gone ahead.
01:20:31.290 --> 01:20:33.080
No, it shouldn't.
01:20:33.190 --> 01:20:37.089
So in many ways I feel
responsible for what happened...
01:20:37.090 --> 01:20:38.360
You were.
01:20:40.160 --> 01:20:41.390
But, trust me,
01:20:43.000 --> 01:20:45.239
watching you win those races,
01:20:45.240 --> 01:20:47.730
while I was fighting
for my life...
01:20:49.310 --> 01:20:52.970
you were equally responsible for
getting me back in the car.
01:21:20.340 --> 01:21:22.960
- How are you feeling, Niki?
- Fine.
01:21:23.470 --> 01:21:24.469
Niki,
01:21:24.470 --> 01:21:28.039
can you confirm to us exactly
which procedures you had
01:21:28.040 --> 01:21:30.049
and the expectations
for you recovery?
01:21:30.050 --> 01:21:31.040
Sure.
01:21:31.350 --> 01:21:33.349
I had a skin graft operation
01:21:33.350 --> 01:21:36.250
where they put half my
right thigh in my face.
01:21:37.660 --> 01:21:39.850
Now, it doesn't look too good,
01:21:40.160 --> 01:21:42.429
but one unexpected advantage is
01:21:42.430 --> 01:21:44.589
it's impossible to perspire
through a skin graft,
01:21:44.590 --> 01:21:46.999
so sweat will never run
into my eyes again,
01:21:47.000 --> 01:21:49.360
which is good for a driver.
01:21:50.430 --> 01:21:52.469
When they heard about
your condition,
01:21:52.470 --> 01:21:55.109
Ferrari immediately hired
a replacement driver,
01:21:55.110 --> 01:21:56.409
Carlos Reutemann.
01:21:56.410 --> 01:21:59.970
Yeah, before ever
reaching the hospital.
01:22:00.440 --> 01:22:03.710
- Is Reutemann driving today too?
- Yes.
01:22:04.180 --> 01:22:06.249
And keen to make an impression.
01:22:06.250 --> 01:22:08.249
So let's see where
Mr. Reutemann finishes
01:22:08.250 --> 01:22:10.580
and where I finish today.
01:22:11.220 --> 01:22:13.219
James Hunt and McLaren
have caught up a lot
01:22:13.220 --> 01:22:15.189
while you were away.
01:22:15.190 --> 01:22:16.160
Yes.
01:22:16.730 --> 01:22:16.890
So is there a question now.
01:22:16.891 --> 01:22:18.529
So is there a question now
01:22:18.530 --> 01:22:21.460
or are you just trying
to piss me off?
01:22:23.100 --> 01:22:25.499
You still think you can win?
01:22:25.500 --> 01:22:27.199
Yes, of course.
01:22:27.200 --> 01:22:28.690
I have the better car.
01:22:29.240 --> 01:22:32.039
And possibly I'm
the better driver.
01:22:32.040 --> 01:22:34.609
But he's a clever guy and
he's used his time well
01:22:34.610 --> 01:22:36.109
while I was lying
half-dead in hospital
01:22:36.110 --> 01:22:37.279
while I was lying
half-dead in hospital
01:22:37.280 --> 01:22:39.110
to win some points.
01:22:40.350 --> 01:22:43.910
And what did your wife say
when she saw your face?
01:22:49.230 --> 01:22:51.020
She said, "Sweetie",
01:22:51.360 --> 01:22:54.420
you don't need a face to drive.
You just need the right foot."
01:22:56.000 --> 01:22:57.400
I'm being serious.
01:22:58.000 --> 01:23:00.739
Do you really think your
marriage can survive
01:23:00.740 --> 01:23:03.230
with the way you look now?
01:23:05.070 --> 01:23:07.130
And I'm being serious too.
01:23:07.780 --> 01:23:09.010
Fuck you.
01:23:09.650 --> 01:23:11.580
Press conference over.
01:23:16.350 --> 01:23:19.619
- That was hairy.
- You know how to get noticed.
01:23:19.620 --> 01:23:21.419
I thought it went
well, to be honest.
01:23:21.420 --> 01:23:23.389
They don't like it when
it's not going their way.
01:23:23.390 --> 01:23:25.029
That's the game.
01:23:25.030 --> 01:23:27.159
- See you.
- See you later.
01:23:27.160 --> 01:23:29.369
- James, are you all right?
- Good, yeah.
01:23:29.370 --> 01:23:32.069
I think I've got something for
you on that last question,
01:23:32.070 --> 01:23:33.369
- about Niki.
- You heard about that?
01:23:33.370 --> 01:23:34.810
- About Niki.
- You heard about that?
01:23:36.270 --> 01:23:37.240
James?
01:23:45.680 --> 01:23:47.410
Please, James...
01:23:47.680 --> 01:23:51.350
Now go home to your wife
and ask her how you look.
01:23:53.760 --> 01:23:54.720
Prick.
01:24:11.540 --> 01:24:14.079
So Niki Lauda, just 42 days
01:24:14.080 --> 01:24:16.679
after his near-fatal
accident at Nüburgring,
01:24:16.680 --> 01:24:18.349
will race here today, at Monza
01:24:18.350 --> 01:24:22.180
against all medical advice and
no doubt in incredible pain.
01:24:26.920 --> 01:24:30.230
Photographers, please,
clear the grid.
01:25:07.630 --> 01:25:09.850
Niki, it's time.
01:25:11.270 --> 01:25:12.520
Okay?
01:25:19.380 --> 01:25:21.310
Please, clear the grid.
01:25:23.480 --> 01:25:25.450
One minute to go.
01:26:11.660 --> 01:26:14.599
The returning Niki Lauda
seems overwhelmed.
01:26:14.600 --> 01:26:17.460
He's been overtaken
by car after car.
01:26:26.610 --> 01:26:29.910
Lauda's off line. He runs
wide onto the grass.
01:26:34.920 --> 01:26:36.989
He wrestles it back
onto the track,
01:26:36.990 --> 01:26:39.280
but that was a bad
moment for Niki.
01:26:43.250 --> 01:26:45.699
Niki Lauda's the
reigning world champion,
01:26:45.700 --> 01:26:48.929
but maybe in his current state
he's a danger out there,
01:26:48.930 --> 01:26:51.990
to himself and to the
rest of the field.
01:26:53.470 --> 01:26:57.569
And Stuck has collided with
Mario Andretti's Lotus!
01:26:57.570 --> 01:27:00.540
Niki's boxed in! He's
got nowhere to go!
01:27:15.290 --> 01:27:17.489
Niki Lauda's actually
making a move.
01:27:17.490 --> 01:27:19.620
He's on Brambilla's tail.
01:27:22.130 --> 01:27:25.269
He pulls out of the
slipstream to overtake.
01:27:25.270 --> 01:27:27.469
Lauda's starting
to find the form
01:27:27.470 --> 01:27:30.300
that early in this race
we believed he'd lost.
01:27:36.350 --> 01:27:39.049
Lauda's now lapping
faster than Reutemann
01:27:39.050 --> 01:27:41.760
and closing the gap ahead.
01:27:44.320 --> 01:27:46.689
Lauda closing on
Carlos Reutemann,
01:27:46.690 --> 01:27:49.059
the man called in to
be his replacement
01:27:49.060 --> 01:27:50.620
in the Ferrari team.
01:27:59.180 --> 01:28:01.339
And there's James
Hunt's McLaren,
01:28:01.340 --> 01:28:04.640
smoking stationary by
the side of the road.
01:28:07.040 --> 01:28:10.340
This is bad news for
Hunt's championship hopes.
01:28:15.020 --> 01:28:16.489
It's Ronnie Peterson
01:28:16.490 --> 01:28:18.869
who comes home the
winner here at Monza.
01:28:18.870 --> 01:28:22.050
But all eyes are on the man who
finishes a brilliant fourth!
01:28:22.560 --> 01:28:24.030
Niki Lauda!
01:29:05.500 --> 01:29:08.039
What a race, what a
man, what a season.
01:29:08.040 --> 01:29:10.209
With a 4th-place finish and
three priceless points,
01:29:10.210 --> 01:29:12.309
Niki Lauda is a
major step closer
01:29:12.310 --> 01:29:15.110
to retaining the
World Championship.
01:30:12.740 --> 01:30:16.509
So the long, grueling and
incredibly dramatic season
01:30:16.510 --> 01:30:19.439
comes down to this
final race in Japan,
01:30:19.440 --> 01:30:21.970
in the shadow of Mount Fuji.
01:30:22.280 --> 01:30:25.409
Niki Lauda goes into this
deciding race at Fuji
01:30:25.410 --> 01:30:27.719
just three points
ahead of James Hunt,
01:30:27.720 --> 01:30:30.719
Hunt knowing he must beat the
Austrian fair and square
01:30:30.720 --> 01:30:32.770
to take the title.
01:30:33.460 --> 01:30:37.059
James, do you think you can
cope with the pressure?
01:30:37.060 --> 01:30:39.429
Well, I've never really
understood what that means.
01:30:39.430 --> 01:30:42.560
I love my job. I love competing.
I love racing.
01:30:43.530 --> 01:30:45.769
Maybe you should ask Niki.
He's the World Champion.
01:30:45.770 --> 01:30:47.399
He's got everything to lose.
01:30:47.400 --> 01:30:49.709
Mr. Lauda, are you
feeling pressure?
01:30:49.710 --> 01:30:52.010
Do I look like I'm
feeling pressure?
01:30:54.080 --> 01:30:55.479
I'm World Champion
01:30:55.480 --> 01:30:58.549
and on the verge to become
World Champion again.
01:30:58.550 --> 01:31:00.979
Hunt now has the
opportunity to win,
01:31:00.980 --> 01:31:02.749
but it's not so easy
to become a champion.
01:31:02.750 --> 01:31:05.480
You have to really believe
it to make it possible.
01:31:05.790 --> 01:31:08.219
James, is there anything
you'd like to add?
01:31:08.220 --> 01:31:10.619
If Niki is being tricky
and getting a kicky
01:31:10.620 --> 01:31:13.010
out of playing mind games,
01:31:13.060 --> 01:31:14.729
then fine, I'm flattered.
01:31:14.730 --> 01:31:18.130
The fact is momentum is with me.
I've never felt better.
01:31:18.500 --> 01:31:20.969
I fully expect the next press
conference we will have
01:31:20.970 --> 01:31:22.600
will be with me as
World Champion.
01:31:27.210 --> 01:31:29.709
Intermittent heavy
rain has been forecast
01:31:29.710 --> 01:31:32.619
here at Fuji today,
along with strong winds
01:31:32.620 --> 01:31:34.179
and occasional fog
01:31:34.180 --> 01:31:36.450
rolling in from the mountain.
01:31:38.220 --> 01:31:40.719
And so with today's Japanese
Grand Prix to come,
01:31:40.720 --> 01:31:43.189
Lauda's lead a
mere three points.
01:31:43.190 --> 01:31:45.059
What a way to finish the season.
01:31:45.060 --> 01:31:46.459
Hunt or Lauda?
01:31:46.460 --> 01:31:50.039
The final chapter will unfold when
we bring you extended coverage...
01:31:50.040 --> 01:31:51.399
They've got to cancel the race.
01:31:51.400 --> 01:31:52.769
It's lethal out there.
01:31:52.770 --> 01:31:54.669
The race is going ahead.
01:31:54.670 --> 01:31:57.169
Television rights have been
sold all around the world.
01:31:57.170 --> 01:31:58.539
The showdown between
you and Niki
01:31:58.540 --> 01:32:00.139
is all anyone wants to see.
01:32:00.140 --> 01:32:03.249
With heavy rain continuing
to fall here at Fuji,
01:32:03.250 --> 01:32:05.509
a decision has
finally been made.
01:32:05.510 --> 01:32:09.360
The 1976 Japanese Grand
Prix will go ahead.
01:32:10.090 --> 01:32:12.680
All drivers to
your cars, please.
01:32:37.110 --> 01:32:39.050
Five minutes to go.
01:33:21.420 --> 01:33:23.159
- All right?
- All right.
01:33:23.160 --> 01:33:25.559
- Hold still.
- What the hell are you doing?
01:33:25.560 --> 01:33:27.229
To let the condensation out.
01:33:27.230 --> 01:33:30.099
- It'll also let the water in.
- Not if you're leading.
01:33:30.100 --> 01:33:33.330
Trust me, this race is
all about the start.
01:33:33.970 --> 01:33:36.600
- Need a hand here?
- Yeah, hold it, Teddy.
01:33:51.320 --> 01:33:53.450
Okay, start the bastard.
01:33:55.660 --> 01:33:57.220
Good luck, kid.
01:33:59.500 --> 01:34:01.120
Good luck, James!
01:34:39.440 --> 01:34:41.400
30 seconds to go.
01:35:01.320 --> 01:35:03.529
Electric tension here at Fuji.
01:35:03.530 --> 01:35:05.999
80,000 bedraggled race fans
01:35:06.000 --> 01:35:09.129
and the racing grudge
match of the decade.
01:35:09.130 --> 01:35:11.369
And there's Mario Andretti
in pole position,
01:35:11.370 --> 01:35:13.430
James Hunt alongside him.
01:35:14.600 --> 01:35:16.739
On row two of the grid,
01:35:16.740 --> 01:35:18.309
there is Niki Lauda,
01:35:18.310 --> 01:35:21.139
and on row three of the grid, Joe
Schecketer from South Africa
01:35:21.140 --> 01:35:22.609
in the six-wheel Tyrrell.
01:35:22.610 --> 01:35:25.640
Behind him, the rest
of the 25-car field.
01:35:42.630 --> 01:35:45.329
There's the flag and finally
the Japanese Grand Prix
01:35:45.330 --> 01:35:47.000
is underway!
01:35:59.350 --> 01:36:01.949
In this conditions it
must be almost impossible
01:36:01.950 --> 01:36:04.650
to drive a 450-horsepower car!
01:36:31.550 --> 01:36:33.719
And it's Andretti
who has the lead,
01:36:33.720 --> 01:36:35.149
but Hunt is attacking.
01:36:35.150 --> 01:36:37.389
Hunt's going round the
outside of Andretti!
01:36:37.390 --> 01:36:39.249
Niki Lauda following
him through!
01:36:39.250 --> 01:36:42.220
Hunt leads into the
first right-hander!
01:37:24.900 --> 01:37:28.069
Hunt comes through to complete
his first lap leading the field.
01:37:28.070 --> 01:37:30.239
At least he has clear
vision in front of him.
01:37:30.240 --> 01:37:33.170
Niki Lauda behind him,
eating his spray.
01:37:52.290 --> 01:37:53.699
Lauda is slowing!
01:37:53.700 --> 01:37:57.560
Niki Lauda is bringing the Ferrari no.
1 into the pit!
01:37:58.230 --> 01:38:01.039
Some sort of problem,
we can't imagine what,
01:38:01.040 --> 01:38:03.000
so early in the race.
01:38:07.710 --> 01:38:09.140
What's wrong with the car?
01:38:09.750 --> 01:38:11.650
What's wrong with the car?
01:38:12.280 --> 01:38:14.419
Niki! What's wrong with the car?
01:38:14.420 --> 01:38:16.650
Nothing. Car's perfect.
01:38:20.990 --> 01:38:22.519
What are you doing?
01:38:22.520 --> 01:38:23.629
I'm stopping
01:38:23.630 --> 01:38:25.689
His mechanics are asking
what the problem is.
01:38:25.690 --> 01:38:28.259
But wait! Niki Lauda's
getting out of the car!
01:38:28.260 --> 01:38:30.029
This is sensational!
01:38:30.030 --> 01:38:32.199
The reigning World
Champion, Niki Lauda,
01:38:32.200 --> 01:38:33.969
is out of this race.
01:38:33.970 --> 01:38:35.440
It's too dangerous.
01:38:35.640 --> 01:38:37.339
Niki, you want me to say
01:38:37.340 --> 01:38:39.909
there was a problem with
the car, for the media?
01:38:39.910 --> 01:38:40.880
No.
01:38:42.010 --> 01:38:43.440
Tell them the truth.
01:38:44.110 --> 01:38:46.009
Now, what is happening?
01:38:46.010 --> 01:38:47.979
They're talking to
the team manager.
01:38:47.980 --> 01:38:50.420
Lauda explaining something.
01:39:05.100 --> 01:39:08.269
With Lauda out, James Hunt
knows he has to finish
01:39:08.270 --> 01:39:12.309
this race in third place or
higher to be World Champion.
01:39:12.310 --> 01:39:15.279
But the job's not done
yet for James Hunt.
01:39:15.280 --> 01:39:17.079
In these dreadful conditions,
01:39:17.080 --> 01:39:19.600
he still has to go the distance.
01:39:20.920 --> 01:39:23.149
Fifteen laps to go here at Fuji.
01:39:23.150 --> 01:39:25.189
James Hunt or Niki Lauda?
01:39:25.190 --> 01:39:28.259
This extraordinary
season is not over yet.
01:39:28.260 --> 01:39:31.590
In this treacherous final
round, can James Hunt hang on?
01:39:32.330 --> 01:39:35.559
And the scoreboard tells a story.
Lap 58.
01:39:35.560 --> 01:39:37.360
Hunt in the lead.
01:39:38.670 --> 01:39:41.260
Oh, God, his tyres,
they're blistering.
01:39:42.170 --> 01:39:46.109
Brambilla very close behind him,
closing on him all the time.
01:39:46.110 --> 01:39:49.439
And he's trying to drive
inside James Hunt.
01:39:49.440 --> 01:39:52.409
Hunt cuts across the
orange March nose.
01:39:52.410 --> 01:39:54.449
Hunt not having that at all.
And he's spinning.
01:39:54.450 --> 01:39:58.219
He missed Hunt but almost took
James Hunt out of the race
01:39:58.220 --> 01:40:00.259
and out of the world
championship.
01:40:00.260 --> 01:40:03.620
Now we find Mario Andretti
closing on James Hunt.
01:40:08.060 --> 01:40:10.229
Mario Andretti's
going past Hunt!
01:40:10.230 --> 01:40:13.360
Hunt is slowing. James Hunt
seems to have a problem.
01:40:18.610 --> 01:40:20.379
Despite this wet conditions,
01:40:20.380 --> 01:40:22.869
these wet-weather tyres
wear extremely fast.
01:40:22.870 --> 01:40:25.029
Hunt's tyres, they're gone.
01:40:25.030 --> 01:40:28.410
Hunt nursing his car
back to the pit stop.
01:40:30.390 --> 01:40:33.359
That back marker's
going past Hunt.
01:40:33.360 --> 01:40:35.720
LAP 70 4 LAPS TO GO
01:40:44.530 --> 01:40:47.999
Look at that left front tyre,
right front tyre, sorry.
01:40:48.000 --> 01:40:51.269
No tread on it at all. And
the other one is flat.
01:40:51.270 --> 01:40:52.740
Let's go! Let's go!
01:40:57.680 --> 01:41:00.349
Okay? When did you
break your gear lever?
01:41:00.350 --> 01:41:02.149
Nine or ten laps ago.
01:41:02.150 --> 01:41:04.519
- Alistair, we need to lift it!
- Come on!
01:41:04.520 --> 01:41:06.259
- At the front!
- Let's go!
01:41:06.260 --> 01:41:09.359
Regazzoni's Ferrari and
Jacques Lafitte in the Ligier
01:41:09.360 --> 01:41:11.089
have gone ahead.
01:41:11.090 --> 01:41:12.490
Come on, hurry!
01:41:13.030 --> 01:41:16.160
You did it. You're going
to be World Champion!
01:41:16.670 --> 01:41:17.689
Not yet.
01:41:17.690 --> 01:41:21.269
A few laps ago, James Hunt was
looking like champion elect.
01:41:21.270 --> 01:41:24.170
Now it looks as though it's
all gone wrong for him.
01:41:25.570 --> 01:41:27.009
- James.
- Come on!
01:41:27.010 --> 01:41:28.139
- Listen.
- What?
01:41:28.140 --> 01:41:30.509
Just go easy out there.
01:41:30.510 --> 01:41:34.419
- What are you saying?
- I'm saying look after yourself.
01:41:34.420 --> 01:41:36.649
We want you back in one piece.
01:41:36.650 --> 01:41:40.019
You're too far back. There's too
many drivers in front of you.
01:41:40.020 --> 01:41:43.420
- There's always next year.
- So that's it? It's over?
01:41:44.430 --> 01:41:45.390
Clear!
01:41:45.990 --> 01:41:46.960
James!
01:41:48.600 --> 01:41:50.590
- Clear!
- Fuck it!
01:41:54.970 --> 01:41:57.769
James Hunt rejoins the
race in sixth position.
01:41:57.770 --> 01:42:02.010
There are four laps to go.
Surely no way back for the Brit.
01:42:21.600 --> 01:42:23.299
Concentrate, Superstar.
01:42:23.300 --> 01:42:25.299
Just brings it back
under control!
01:42:25.300 --> 01:42:28.270
Sliding the McLaren on
the very edge there.
01:42:30.170 --> 01:42:33.039
Hunt's M23 twitching this
way and that under braking.
01:42:33.040 --> 01:42:34.409
And he almost loses
it right there.
01:42:34.410 --> 01:42:36.009
Hunt on the tail
of Jacques Lafitte
01:42:36.010 --> 01:42:37.570
in the blue Ligier.
01:42:45.190 --> 01:42:46.950
Don't do it, James.
01:42:49.460 --> 01:42:51.229
He's inches away
from the pit wall!
01:42:51.230 --> 01:42:53.350
He's inches away
from the Ligier!
01:43:02.300 --> 01:43:04.509
James Hunt has made
up another place,
01:43:04.510 --> 01:43:07.670
but it's not enough and
this race is running out.
01:43:16.120 --> 01:43:19.050
And Watson has spun!
Watson has spun!
01:43:22.390 --> 01:43:25.429
Hunt manages to weave his
way between the back marker
01:43:25.430 --> 01:43:27.699
and the stationary Penske.
01:43:27.700 --> 01:43:30.329
He's catching Regazzoni,
but in these conditions,
01:43:30.330 --> 01:43:33.960
it's one thing to catch up,
quite another to overtake.
01:43:37.110 --> 01:43:39.669
He's alongside Clay Regazzoni!
This could be
01:43:39.670 --> 01:43:41.610
the world championship!
01:43:49.280 --> 01:43:51.010
He's got him!
01:44:06.440 --> 01:44:08.299
Hunt crosses the line.
01:44:08.300 --> 01:44:11.409
He needed to finish third
to score enough points
01:44:11.410 --> 01:44:13.009
to be World Champion,
01:44:13.010 --> 01:44:15.339
and in the confusion
here we're being told
01:44:15.340 --> 01:44:17.079
that he may have finished 5th.
01:44:17.080 --> 01:44:18.210
He finished fifth?
01:44:19.450 --> 01:44:22.049
Our lap charts show
Hunt in third place.
01:44:22.050 --> 01:44:23.919
Well, if the scoreboard's right,
01:44:23.920 --> 01:44:26.559
it means he's just missed
out on the championship.
01:44:26.560 --> 01:44:30.180
Crushing defeat for Hunt
after such a heroic drive.
01:44:34.160 --> 01:44:36.429
I can see the race
stewards conferring,
01:44:36.430 --> 01:44:38.699
examining the
official lap charts.
01:44:38.700 --> 01:44:41.930
We're just going to have to
wait for their verdict here.
01:44:58.590 --> 01:45:00.059
Let's get you out
of here, buddy.
01:45:00.060 --> 01:45:02.319
I'm sorry, Teddy. I thought
I could make up the ground.
01:45:02.320 --> 01:45:04.429
Sony? What are you talking about?
You did it!
01:45:04.430 --> 01:45:07.329
- Did what?
- Jesus! You crazy bastard!
01:45:07.330 --> 01:45:09.969
You came 3rd! You
got the points!
01:45:09.970 --> 01:45:11.599
You're champion of the world!
01:45:11.600 --> 01:45:14.639
James Hunt is now
officially confirmed
01:45:14.640 --> 01:45:17.239
as finishing third
here in Japan,
01:45:17.240 --> 01:45:20.500
and that means he is
champion of the world.
01:45:22.210 --> 01:45:24.909
Our new World
Champion, James Hunt,
01:45:24.910 --> 01:45:27.440
by just one single point.
01:45:33.260 --> 01:45:35.160
Did we really win?
01:45:38.230 --> 01:45:40.390
World bloody Champion!
01:45:49.170 --> 01:45:53.040
- What are you going to do now?
- I shall be getting drunk.
01:45:54.010 --> 01:45:56.480
It's wonderful, absolute dream.
01:46:42.990 --> 01:46:46.629
And our special guest, Formula
1 champion, James Hunt.
01:46:46.630 --> 01:46:49.290
JAMES HUNT WORLD CHAMPION
01:46:59.210 --> 01:47:01.230
JAMES HUNT AGAINST ALL ODDS
01:47:11.090 --> 01:47:13.110
Wait. Come on.
01:47:15.660 --> 01:47:19.020
There's no better motor
oil than Havoline.
01:47:29.900 --> 01:47:33.209
- Yes, me too. Where we going?
- Anywhere I want to go.
01:47:33.210 --> 01:47:35.679
And I don't have to
hijack it, either.
01:47:35.680 --> 01:47:37.949
As long as I pay for it.
01:47:37.950 --> 01:47:40.380
I'm starving. Let's
get some food.
01:47:46.450 --> 01:47:48.450
BOLOGNA, ITALY
01:47:51.060 --> 01:47:53.029
- Where are you going?
- You lot go ahead.
01:47:53.030 --> 01:47:54.930
I won't be a minute.
01:47:56.460 --> 01:47:57.430
Niki!
01:48:00.440 --> 01:48:01.930
Good to see you!
01:48:06.240 --> 01:48:08.209
I heard you were spending
more and more time
01:48:08.210 --> 01:48:10.449
- in one of these.
- Do you fly?
01:48:10.450 --> 01:48:11.449
No.
01:48:11.450 --> 01:48:14.179
- I don't think they'd insure me.
- You should try.
01:48:14.180 --> 01:48:15.419
It's good for discipline.
01:48:15.420 --> 01:48:16.989
You have to stay
within the rules,
01:48:16.990 --> 01:48:18.689
stick to regulation,
suppress the ego.
01:48:18.690 --> 01:48:20.619
It helps with the racing.
01:48:20.620 --> 01:48:23.359
And there I was thinking you
were about to wax lyrical
01:48:23.360 --> 01:48:26.920
- about the romance of flight.
- No, that's all bullshit.
01:48:28.400 --> 01:48:30.269
So what brings you here?
01:48:30.270 --> 01:48:32.029
A friend's wedding.
01:48:32.030 --> 01:48:33.369
At least I think
it was a wedding.
01:48:33.370 --> 01:48:34.599
Might have been a
birthday or something.
01:48:34.600 --> 01:48:36.269
It's all a bit of a blur.
01:48:36.270 --> 01:48:39.169
- Have you been at Fiorano?
- Pre-season testing.
01:48:39.170 --> 01:48:41.139
- You're relentless.
- Thank you.
01:48:41.140 --> 01:48:43.079
I'm not sure that was
meant as a compliment.
01:48:43.080 --> 01:48:45.949
When do you start testing?
Next week?
01:48:45.950 --> 01:48:47.649
No. What, are you nuts?
01:48:47.650 --> 01:48:49.279
I didn't just win the
biggest thing of my life
01:48:49.280 --> 01:48:51.590
so I could get right
back to work.
01:48:51.990 --> 01:48:54.230
Why? You have to.
01:48:54.690 --> 01:48:56.619
To prove to all the people
01:48:56.620 --> 01:48:58.459
who will always say you
just won it because...
01:48:58.460 --> 01:49:01.900
Because of what? Because
of your accident?
01:49:03.030 --> 01:49:05.969
Niki, is that other
people or is that you?
01:49:05.970 --> 01:49:07.369
I won, okay?
01:49:07.370 --> 01:49:09.169
On the all-important day
when it came down to it,
01:49:09.170 --> 01:49:12.109
we raced on equal terms,
equally good cars.
01:49:12.110 --> 01:49:14.339
And I put my life on the
line and I saw it through.
01:49:14.340 --> 01:49:16.379
- And you call that winning?
- Yes.
01:49:16.380 --> 01:49:19.009
The risks were totally
unacceptable.
01:49:19.010 --> 01:49:20.679
You were prepared to die.
01:49:20.680 --> 01:49:23.219
- To me, that's losing.
- Yes, I was. I admit it.
01:49:23.220 --> 01:49:26.049
I was prepared to die
to beat you that day.
01:49:26.050 --> 01:49:28.059
And that's the effect
you have on me.
01:49:28.060 --> 01:49:31.120
You'd pushed me that far.
And it felt great!
01:49:31.630 --> 01:49:34.259
I mean, hell, isn't that
what we're in this for?
01:49:34.260 --> 01:49:37.060
To stare death in the
face and to cheat it?
01:49:37.970 --> 01:49:40.069
Come on, there's
nobility in that.
01:49:40.070 --> 01:49:41.970
It's like being knights.
01:49:42.270 --> 01:49:44.669
You English, you're
such assholes.
01:49:44.670 --> 01:49:46.939
You know my position.
01:49:46.940 --> 01:49:48.179
20% risk.
01:49:48.180 --> 01:49:50.949
No, Niki, don't bring the
percentages into this.
01:49:50.950 --> 01:49:52.409
Don't be a pro.
01:49:52.410 --> 01:49:55.149
The minute you do that, you
kill what's good about this.
01:49:55.150 --> 01:49:56.910
You kill the sport.
01:49:59.950 --> 01:50:00.920
James!
01:50:01.920 --> 01:50:02.910
James!
01:50:06.590 --> 01:50:08.120
I've got to go.
01:50:09.600 --> 01:50:11.660
Careful in this thing.
01:50:12.630 --> 01:50:13.690
James.
01:50:19.310 --> 01:50:22.900
In hospital, the toughest part
of my treatment was the vacuum.
01:50:23.380 --> 01:50:25.449
Pumping the shit
out of my lungs.
01:50:25.450 --> 01:50:26.970
It was hell.
01:50:27.420 --> 01:50:30.019
And while doing it, I was
watching television.
01:50:30.020 --> 01:50:32.949
- You winning all my points.
- Your points?
01:50:32.950 --> 01:50:35.959
"That bastard, Hunt," I'd say.
"I hate that guy."
01:50:35.960 --> 01:50:37.729
And one day, the
doctor came and said,
01:50:37.730 --> 01:50:40.359
"Mr. Lauda, may I offer
a piece of advice?"
01:50:40.360 --> 01:50:42.599
"Stop thinking of it as a
curse to have been given
01:50:42.600 --> 01:50:44.199
an enemy in life."
01:50:44.200 --> 01:50:46.199
"It can be blessing too."
01:50:46.200 --> 01:50:47.769
"A wise man gets more
from his enemies
01:50:47.770 --> 01:50:49.669
than a fool from his friends."
01:50:49.670 --> 01:50:52.440
And you know what? He was right.
01:50:54.340 --> 01:50:55.679
Look at us.
01:50:55.680 --> 01:50:58.379
We were both a pair
of kids when we met.
01:50:58.380 --> 01:51:00.649
Hot-headed jerks in Formula 3.
01:51:00.650 --> 01:51:03.740
Disowned by our families.
Headed nowhere.
01:51:04.420 --> 01:51:07.289
And now we're both
champions of the world.
01:51:07.290 --> 01:51:08.980
It was not bad.
01:51:09.360 --> 01:51:11.389
No, it's not bad.
01:51:11.390 --> 01:51:13.559
So don't let me down now.
01:51:13.560 --> 01:51:15.459
I need you busting my balls.
01:51:15.460 --> 01:51:18.460
- Get back to work.
- I will, Niki, I will.
01:51:19.000 --> 01:51:21.369
But I intend to
enjoy myself first.
01:51:21.370 --> 01:51:23.939
Some of life needs
to be for pleasure.
01:51:23.940 --> 01:51:27.139
What's the point of having a
million cups, medals and planes
01:51:27.140 --> 01:51:29.610
if you don't have any fun?
01:51:30.080 --> 01:51:32.340
How is that winning?
01:51:33.280 --> 01:51:36.149
- James!
- We're gonna leave without you!
01:51:36.150 --> 01:51:37.140
James!
01:51:41.290 --> 01:51:43.450
I'll see you on race day, champ.
01:51:44.490 --> 01:51:45.650
You will...
01:51:46.090 --> 01:51:47.060
champ.
01:51:49.260 --> 01:51:51.469
You look good, Niki.
01:51:51.470 --> 01:51:55.330
The only guy to have burnt his
face and it be an improvement.
01:52:01.240 --> 01:52:03.940
Of course he didn't
listen to me.
01:52:04.210 --> 01:52:07.449
For James, one world
title was enough.
01:52:07.450 --> 01:52:10.440
He had proved what
he needed to prove,
01:52:10.720 --> 01:52:14.280
to himself and anyone
who doubted him.
01:52:15.190 --> 01:52:18.059
And two years later he retired.
01:52:18.060 --> 01:52:21.260
When I saw him next in
London seven years later,
01:52:21.600 --> 01:52:23.699
me as champion again,
01:52:23.700 --> 01:52:25.429
him as broadcaster,
01:52:25.430 --> 01:52:29.340
he was barefoot on a
bicycle, with a flat tyre.
01:52:29.940 --> 01:52:33.070
Still living each
day like his last.
01:52:34.240 --> 01:52:38.080
When I heard he'd died aged
45, of a heart attack,
01:52:38.380 --> 01:52:40.350
I wasn't surprised.
01:52:40.950 --> 01:52:42.970
I was just sad.
01:52:43.480 --> 01:52:46.450
People always think
of us as rivals,
01:52:46.990 --> 01:52:50.190
but he was among the
very few I liked
01:52:51.030 --> 01:52:53.930
and even fewer that I respected.
01:52:57.100 --> 01:53:00.190
He remains the only
person I envied.
01:53:08.870 --> 01:53:09.370
Born3o.
01:53:13.450 --> 01:53:35.000
