1
00:00:49,910 --> 00:00:53,470
<i>...what has turned into a
classic Formula 1 season.</i>

2
00:00:55,950 --> 00:00:58,449
<i>...with the weather
conditions so uncertain,</i>

3
00:00:58,450 --> 00:01:00,850
<i>the drivers prepare for...</i>

4
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,129
<i>...the track is still
dangerously wet,</i>

5
00:01:04,130 --> 00:01:07,449
<i>but following a drivers meeting,
a decision has been taken.</i>

6
00:01:07,450 --> 00:01:11,120
<i>3 minutes to go.
Everybody off the grid now.</i>

7
00:01:25,150 --> 00:01:29,369
<i>25 drivers start every
season in Formula 1,</i>

8
00:01:29,370 --> 00:01:32,460
<i>and each year, 2 of us die.</i>

9
00:01:33,220 --> 00:01:36,619
<i>What kind of person
does a job like this?</i>

10
00:01:36,620 --> 00:01:39,159
<i>Not normal men, for sure.</i>

11
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,299
<i>Rebels,</i>

12
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:41,659
<i>lunatics,</i>

13
00:01:41,660 --> 00:01:43,330
<i>dreamers.</i>

14
00:01:43,630 --> 00:01:46,199
<i>People who are desperate
to make a Mark</i>

15
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,500
<i>and are prepared to die trying.</i>

16
00:01:50,510 --> 00:01:52,239
<i>My name is Niki Lauda,</i>

17
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,439
<i>and racing people know
me for two things.</i>

18
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,610
<i>The first is my
rivalry with him.</i>

19
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,219
What about Hunt? Has he changed?

20
00:02:09,220 --> 00:02:10,759
No, he's going on wets.

21
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,729
<i>I don't know why it
became such a big thing.</i>

22
00:02:13,730 --> 00:02:18,269
<i>We were just drivers busting
each other's balls.</i>

23
00:02:18,270 --> 00:02:20,469
<i>To me this is perfectly normal,</i>

24
00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:22,699
<i>but other people saw
it differently,</i>

25
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:26,200
<i>that whatever it was
between us went deeper.</i>

26
00:02:42,190 --> 00:02:44,289
<i>The other thing I'm
remembered for</i>

27
00:02:44,290 --> 00:02:47,959
<i>is what happened on
1st August 1976,</i>

28
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,020
<i>when I was chasing
him like an asshole.</i>

29
00:03:19,330 --> 00:03:22,399
Yeah, that's the one. On the
second shelf. Thank you.

30
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,629
Trauma trolley, please.

31
00:03:23,630 --> 00:03:26,329
I think the racetrack telephoned
ahead that I was coming.

32
00:03:26,330 --> 00:03:28,170
Hunt. James Hunt.

33
00:03:32,610 --> 00:03:36,209
What's the matter? No one ever
seen a spot of blood before?

34
00:03:36,210 --> 00:03:38,970
- Are you all right?
- Absolutely fine.

35
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:43,969
We all thought you'd
been in an accident.

36
00:03:43,970 --> 00:03:45,049
I have.

37
00:03:45,050 --> 00:03:46,729
If you call a
friendly disagreement

38
00:03:46,730 --> 00:03:49,250
with another driver an accident.

39
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,499
What did you disagree about?

40
00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:58,360
It's none of your business.

41
00:03:59,330 --> 00:04:00,360
Sorry.

42
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,230
His wife.

43
00:04:04,370 --> 00:04:06,239
That's going to need a
couple of stitches.

44
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,539
- It's a nasty cut.
- It was a nasty blow.

45
00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:10,640
Done with a bloody crowbar.

46
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,279
- Why? What did you do?
- Nothing.

47
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,940
Only what she asked me to do.

48
00:04:18,650 --> 00:04:20,350
Which was...?

49
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,950
I'd be happy to show
you if you like.

50
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,359
Sorry.

51
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,169
<i>I have a theory why women
like racing drivers.</i>

52
00:04:33,170 --> 00:04:35,939
<i>It's not because they
respect what we do,</i>

53
00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:38,439
<i>driving round and
round in circles.</i>

54
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,409
<i>Mostly they think
that's pathetic</i>

55
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:42,439
<i>and they're probably right.</i>

56
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,930
<i>It's our closeness to death.</i>

57
00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:48,979
<i>The closer you are to death,
the more alive you feel.</i>

58
00:04:48,980 --> 00:04:52,589
<i>The more alive you are. And
they can see that in you.</i>

59
00:04:52,590 --> 00:04:54,580
<i>They feel that in you.</i>

60
00:04:55,190 --> 00:04:57,529
<i>My name is James Hunt.</i>

61
00:04:57,530 --> 00:04:59,659
<i>My father is a stockbroker,</i>

62
00:04:59,660 --> 00:05:01,759
<i>my sister is a barrister</i>

63
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,369
<i>and my brother is an accountant.</i>

64
00:05:04,370 --> 00:05:05,919
<i>And I,</i>

65
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,450
<i>well, I do this.</i>

66
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,209
<i>It's a wonderful way to live.
It's the only way to drive.</i>

67
00:05:14,210 --> 00:05:17,010
<i>As if each day is your last.</i>

68
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,559
I've never been to a
Grand Prix before.

69
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,219
You still haven't.

70
00:05:30,220 --> 00:05:33,130
- This is Formula 3.
- What's that?

71
00:05:33,490 --> 00:05:35,959
That's a lower division,

72
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,729
where idiots like me mess about

73
00:05:38,730 --> 00:05:42,099
in the hop of being
talent-spotted to race in Formula 1.

74
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:44,269
- You look disappointed.
- No.

75
00:05:44,270 --> 00:05:47,439
You only slept with me because
you thought I was famous.

76
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,140
That's not true!

77
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,949
Don't worry. I will be one day.

78
00:05:51,950 --> 00:05:53,349
Morning, everyone.

79
00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:55,320
- This is Nursie.
- Gemma.

80
00:05:55,580 --> 00:05:58,619
Nursie, this is Bubbles
Horsely, team manager.

81
00:05:58,620 --> 00:06:00,149
How do you do?

82
00:06:00,150 --> 00:06:01,689
- Bubbles?
- Yeah.

83
00:06:01,690 --> 00:06:03,989
Doc Postlethwaite, our designer.

84
00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:05,359
How do you do?

85
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,990
And Alexander, Lord
Hesketh, the team's owner.

86
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,930
How do you do?

87
00:06:12,270 --> 00:06:13,729
Fine, thanks.

88
00:06:13,730 --> 00:06:16,039
Well done, Superstar!

89
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,339
- That's the car?
- Yep, that's her.

90
00:06:18,340 --> 00:06:19,740
Lotus 59.

91
00:06:20,110 --> 00:06:22,939
1000cc. Cosworth Mae engine.

92
00:06:22,940 --> 00:06:26,140
She's no beauty, but
goes like the clappers.

93
00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:34,589
Nothing to be worried about.
Does it before every race.

94
00:06:34,590 --> 00:06:37,229
Good sign, actually.
Means he's stoked.

95
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:39,929
All Formula 3 cars to
the assembly area.

96
00:06:39,930 --> 00:06:41,330
Now, please.

97
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,470
...drivers please bring them
to the scrutineering bay now.

98
00:06:56,110 --> 00:06:58,009
All right, Superstar?

99
00:06:58,010 --> 00:06:59,579
Never better, patron.

100
00:06:59,580 --> 00:07:02,050
- Have a gargle with this.
- Thank you.

101
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,089
Quick toke of this.

102
00:07:06,090 --> 00:07:09,389
At Crystal Palace today,
James Hunt's on pole,

103
00:07:09,390 --> 00:07:12,959
with Austrian newcomer
Niki Lauda alongside him

104
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,699
and Dave Walker
completing Row 1.

105
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:18,629
Row 2 is Mike Beuttler
and Dave Morgan,

106
00:07:18,630 --> 00:07:20,399
with Tony Trimmer
and Gerry Birrell.

107
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,539
Who's that?

108
00:07:21,540 --> 00:07:22,590
He's new.

109
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,130
- Some German.
- Austrian.

110
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,409
He's been here since 5 a.m.
walking the track.

111
00:07:29,410 --> 00:07:32,149
You might actually have to
concentrate today, James.

112
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:33,880
You'll need these.

113
00:07:34,250 --> 00:07:36,220
Okay, start her up.

114
00:07:36,620 --> 00:07:39,230
Ah! What music!

115
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,259
They could never
have imagined it,

116
00:07:41,260 --> 00:07:43,689
those pioneers who
invented the automobile,

117
00:07:43,690 --> 00:07:45,659
that it would possess
us like this,

118
00:07:45,660 --> 00:07:48,229
in our imaginations, our dreams.

119
00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:50,729
Nursie, men love women,

120
00:07:50,730 --> 00:07:52,699
but even more than that,

121
00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:55,290
men love cars!

122
00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:06,410
- Come on, James!
- It's James! Go on, James!

123
00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:08,650
Go, James!

124
00:08:16,290 --> 00:08:17,529
<i>Hunt's still in the lead,</i>

125
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:20,220
<i>but Niki Lauda is
right on his tail!</i>

126
00:08:28,470 --> 00:08:31,539
<i>Hunt and Lauda are proving to
be in a class of their own.</i>

127
00:08:31,540 --> 00:08:33,669
<i>They're leaving the
pack far behind.</i>

128
00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:36,230
Herr Red Devil's on his tail.

129
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,450
<i>Lauda takes a look
down the inside...</i>

130
00:08:44,620 --> 00:08:47,210
<i>...and he's sold him a dummy!</i>

131
00:08:50,090 --> 00:08:52,629
<i>Lauda is through!
He's in the lead!</i>

132
00:08:52,630 --> 00:08:56,080
<i>Hunt will be determined to
make up for that mistake.</i>

133
00:09:01,970 --> 00:09:03,669
<i>Hunt's in Lauda's slipstream.</i>

134
00:09:03,670 --> 00:09:06,270
<i>Lauda's not leaving any gap.</i>

135
00:09:11,010 --> 00:09:12,609
<i>The Lotus goes for the inside.</i>

136
00:09:12,610 --> 00:09:14,910
<i>It's an aggressive
move from Hunt.</i>

137
00:09:19,290 --> 00:09:20,880
<i>There's contact!</i>

138
00:09:27,430 --> 00:09:31,269
<i>The leaders have spun out!
Lauda's facing the wrong way!</i>

139
00:09:31,270 --> 00:09:33,530
<i>The back marker's gone through!</i>

140
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:36,239
<i>You can see why Hunter's
fellow drivers call him.</i>

141
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,970
<i>"Hunt the Shunt."</i>

142
00:09:41,410 --> 00:09:42,409
Asshole!

143
00:09:42,410 --> 00:09:44,349
- Go on, James!
- The Kraut's out of it!

144
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:46,279
<i>Lauda is clearly furious.</i>

145
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,479
<i>There's every reason to expect
sharp words in the pit.</i>

146
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,719
<i>It's going to be
victory for Hunt.</i>

147
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,210
<i>It's going to be an ignominious
defeat for Niki Lauda.</i>

148
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:03,059
<i>So James Hunt scores his
third major Formula 3 win</i>

149
00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:05,199
<i>of the season here,
at Crystal Palace,</i>

150
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,039
<i>after a desperate
battle with Niki Lauda.</i>

151
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,039
<i>Lauda was unable so restart</i>

152
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,939
<i>after Hunt's aggressive move
caused them both to spin out</i>

153
00:10:12,940 --> 00:10:15,239
<i>in the last lap of the race.</i>

154
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,079
Hard luck. Better
luck next time.

155
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,200
Hey, asshole!

156
00:10:20,010 --> 00:10:22,379
That was my line. I
had that corner.

157
00:10:22,380 --> 00:10:24,149
You mean the one
that you spun out of

158
00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:25,989
and finished facing
the other way?

159
00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:27,759
I think that corner had you.

160
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,489
That move was total suicide.
What if I hadn't braked?

161
00:10:30,490 --> 00:10:33,229
- We'd have crashed.
- But we didn't, did we?

162
00:10:33,230 --> 00:10:36,460
Thanks to your impeccable
survival instincts.

163
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:39,730
Fuck you! What's your name?

164
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,400
James Simon Wallis Hunt.

165
00:10:43,770 --> 00:10:46,039
Remember it, my
little Jerry friend.

166
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,139
- Jawohl! Remember ze name.
- It's very simple.

167
00:10:49,140 --> 00:10:51,479
Hunt, it rhymes with cunt!

168
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,740
A word that happens to
describe you perfectly.

169
00:10:55,220 --> 00:10:56,349
Who was that?

170
00:10:56,350 --> 00:10:59,650
I've no idea. He looks
like a rat, doesn't he?

171
00:11:01,220 --> 00:11:02,719
<i>In my hometown, Vienna,</i>

172
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,029
<i>my family's famous
for one thing:</i>

173
00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:06,150
<i>Business.</i>

174
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,159
<i>My grandfather was
a businessman,</i>

175
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,720
<i>my father, too.</i>

176
00:11:11,330 --> 00:11:14,629
<i>So when they heard I wanted
to race cars for a living,</i>

177
00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:16,500
<i>They are a few things to say.</i>

178
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,360
Good.

179
00:12:03,380 --> 00:12:06,019
<i>So if my family wasn't
going to help me,</i>

180
00:12:06,020 --> 00:12:09,559
<i>I decided to risk everything
and take out a loan myself.</i>

181
00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:12,489
<i>I found a Formula 1
team with an Ok car</i>

182
00:12:12,490 --> 00:12:14,799
<i>and an owner who had
run out of money</i>

183
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,129
<i>and was willing to
accept my terms.</i>

184
00:12:17,130 --> 00:12:19,169
And so, ladies and gentlemen,

185
00:12:19,170 --> 00:12:20,969
I'm delighted to say...

186
00:12:20,970 --> 00:12:23,639
that the winner of the Guild
of Motoring Writers Award.

187
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,939
Driver of the Year...

188
00:12:25,940 --> 00:12:27,340
is James Hunt.

189
00:12:30,580 --> 00:12:32,070
Superb news!

190
00:12:33,010 --> 00:12:35,110
- Well done, James.
- Superstar!

191
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,480
Fantastic!

192
00:12:39,350 --> 00:12:41,019
- Well done.
- Thank you so much.

193
00:12:41,020 --> 00:12:42,159
Yes!

194
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,460
My parents always wanted
me to be a doctor

195
00:12:46,130 --> 00:12:48,699
or a stockbroker or something.
They gave me

196
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:51,969
the first-class education, but
that went all terribly wrong

197
00:12:51,970 --> 00:12:54,400
and I ended up with you lot.

198
00:12:56,670 --> 00:12:59,470
Thank you. I need it
more than you do.

199
00:13:00,370 --> 00:13:02,609
I mean, I have a hot head,

200
00:13:02,610 --> 00:13:04,679
an inability to
tolerate discipline...

201
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:06,379
- Yes!
- Very true!

202
00:13:06,380 --> 00:13:08,979
I fall out with people
left and right.

203
00:13:08,980 --> 00:13:10,989
The only creatures
I've ever really loved

204
00:13:10,990 --> 00:13:13,480
or treated honorably
are budgerigars.

205
00:13:15,020 --> 00:13:18,229
So in any normal area of
life, I'd be, or I am,

206
00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:19,729
a total liability.

207
00:13:19,730 --> 00:13:22,199
The only thing I've got going
for me is I'm quick in a car.

208
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,329
So thank you for this and
for acknowledging that.

209
00:13:24,330 --> 00:13:26,199
I'm going to give
it to my father

210
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,669
and tell him to put
it on the mantel piece

211
00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:30,600
and imagine it's a first-class
degree in medicine.

212
00:13:45,050 --> 00:13:47,019
Well done, Superstar.

213
00:13:47,020 --> 00:13:48,359
Another season like that,

214
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,759
I'll move you up
to the big time.

215
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,529
Come on, you don't
think I'm ready now?

216
00:13:51,530 --> 00:13:52,759
You are.

217
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,099
I'm not. I've got to
find you a car first.

218
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:56,699
Well, go on, then.

219
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:58,399
Chop chop. Don't wait too long.

220
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,099
You don't want him to
do what Lauda just did.

221
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:03,039
- Why? What did he do?
- Got himself a drive, with BRM.

222
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,139
How the hell did he do that?
He's a nobody.

223
00:14:05,140 --> 00:14:06,509
He's never won a bloody thing.

224
00:14:06,510 --> 00:14:08,609
Apparently, took out a
Loan and bought his way in

225
00:14:08,610 --> 00:14:10,479
with 2 million
Austrian shillings.

226
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,640
Jesus.

227
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,099
Niki Lauda.

228
00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:34,660
Here for pre-season testing.
BRM?

229
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,940
Sign the release form. I'll
let them know you're here.

230
00:14:50,250 --> 00:14:52,019
- Mr. Stanley.
- Good morning.

231
00:14:52,020 --> 00:14:53,950
- Good morning.
- Clay!

232
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:57,619
Let me introduce you to
our number 1 driver.

233
00:14:57,620 --> 00:14:59,390
Clay Regazzoni.

234
00:15:00,990 --> 00:15:02,990
- How are you?
- Good.

235
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,469
Pleasure.

236
00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:07,029
And these are your mechanics.

237
00:15:07,030 --> 00:15:09,560
They're reporting
exclusively to you,

238
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,509
as per contract.

239
00:15:11,510 --> 00:15:12,609
Pleasure.

240
00:15:12,610 --> 00:15:15,040
- Do you wanna see the car?
- Sure.

241
00:15:16,780 --> 00:15:17,740
Hello.

242
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,580
There she is. P160.

243
00:15:26,420 --> 00:15:29,880
- Same as Regazzoni's?
- Identical in every detail.

244
00:15:30,190 --> 00:15:31,989
How much does she weigh?

245
00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:34,559
- 600 kilos.
- But that's crazy.

246
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,259
- Why so heavy?
- It's a V12 engine.

247
00:15:37,260 --> 00:15:40,329
That lump weighs
190K on its own.

248
00:15:40,330 --> 00:15:41,300
Okay.

249
00:15:42,340 --> 00:15:44,969
What horsepower are you getting?
490.

250
00:15:44,970 --> 00:15:47,569
- No, no, 450.
- No, It's not enough.

251
00:15:47,570 --> 00:15:49,009
It needs to be 500.

252
00:15:49,010 --> 00:15:50,639
And the engine still be 20 km.

253
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,479
- We already tried.
- Tried what?

254
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,479
Everything

255
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,979
We replaced the entire
exhaust system.

256
00:15:54,980 --> 00:15:58,580
- Barely made the difference.
- Are you using magnesium parts?

257
00:16:11,430 --> 00:16:12,729
Now the engine block.

258
00:16:12,730 --> 00:16:15,669
Any mounting or fixing
plates, strip it out also.

259
00:16:15,670 --> 00:16:17,099
When you've done that,

260
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:19,039
we have to look at
the aerodynamics,

261
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,730
front and rear wing.

262
00:16:37,930 --> 00:16:40,290
Okay, thank you. Good night.

263
00:17:00,310 --> 00:17:02,580
What was Regazzoni's time?

264
00:17:03,450 --> 00:17:05,189
1:53.

265
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,489
Okay, now put him in my car and
he'll go around 2 seconds faster.

266
00:17:08,490 --> 00:17:11,460
- Well, that's impossible.
- No chance.

267
00:17:13,730 --> 00:17:16,599
We've been working
on it all night.

268
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,069
Put Regazzoni in the car.
See what happens.

269
00:17:19,070 --> 00:17:20,529
I don't understand. Why
am I supposed to do this?

270
00:17:20,530 --> 00:17:21,539
I don't know, Clay.

271
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:24,030
He wants you to
take it for a spin.

272
00:17:25,210 --> 00:17:26,430
Gloves, please.

273
00:18:12,190 --> 00:18:15,019
- I'd say we push it...
- All right.

274
00:18:15,020 --> 00:18:17,289
What did you do to the car?

275
00:18:17,290 --> 00:18:19,129
That's information
I'll will share with you

276
00:18:19,130 --> 00:18:21,089
under certain conditions only.

277
00:18:21,090 --> 00:18:22,120
Go on.

278
00:18:23,330 --> 00:18:25,369
A guaranteed place in the team.

279
00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:27,069
And a paid contract
on equal terms

280
00:18:27,070 --> 00:18:29,369
with Regazzoni for 2 years.

281
00:18:29,370 --> 00:18:30,899
Are you crazy?

282
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:33,269
Clay's a senior figure in F1.

283
00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:34,939
You're just a rookie!

284
00:18:34,940 --> 00:18:37,609
The only reason we took you on
is because you're paying us.

285
00:18:37,610 --> 00:18:39,979
Well, as of now, if
you want me to stay,

286
00:18:39,980 --> 00:18:42,479
we rip up the contract,
I don't pay you a cent.

287
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,319
That's outrageous!

288
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,580
Was he quicker in my car?

289
00:18:47,050 --> 00:18:49,020
He was, wasn't he?

290
00:18:49,590 --> 00:18:52,110
Did he go 2 seconds faster?

291
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,890
2.3.

292
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:02,169
So, have a think,

293
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:05,300
work out your priorities
and get back to me.

294
00:19:19,690 --> 00:19:20,650
Hey, Niki.

295
00:19:23,390 --> 00:19:26,589
I know what you're going to say,
that it's none of my business.

296
00:19:26,590 --> 00:19:27,560
What?

297
00:19:28,930 --> 00:19:32,330
If it's the track manager you're
taking on your date tonight.

298
00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:35,039
It's none of your business.

299
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,269
Okay, but if you want my advice,

300
00:19:37,270 --> 00:19:39,070
I'd let this one go.

301
00:19:39,970 --> 00:19:43,200
I'm not questioning your taste.
She is a great girl, but...

302
00:19:45,250 --> 00:19:47,409
Agnes' last boyfriend

303
00:19:47,410 --> 00:19:49,579
was a British Formula 2 driver

304
00:19:49,580 --> 00:19:51,989
who has a reputation
for two things,

305
00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:54,549
for being a little
crazy on the track...

306
00:19:54,550 --> 00:19:57,289
and for going all
night and all day

307
00:19:57,290 --> 00:19:59,989
and all night again in bed.
He's a good driver,

308
00:19:59,990 --> 00:20:02,359
but an immortal fuck apparently.

309
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:04,299
I don't know about you,
but that's not an act

310
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:06,320
I'd like to follow.

311
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,100
But if that doesn't
bother you...

312
00:20:12,510 --> 00:20:15,200
What's his name, the driver?

313
00:20:16,110 --> 00:20:17,910
Hunt. James Hunt.

314
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,979
You see, you share information

315
00:20:23,980 --> 00:20:25,980
and I share information.

316
00:20:26,290 --> 00:20:28,620
That's what teammates are for.

317
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,300
- Where the hell are we going?
- I promise it'll be worth it.

318
00:20:42,670 --> 00:20:44,439
Just keep them closed.

319
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,630
Wait for it.

320
00:20:46,710 --> 00:20:48,110
Wait for it.

321
00:20:52,050 --> 00:20:53,049
There.

322
00:20:53,050 --> 00:20:54,310
What do you say?

323
00:20:54,610 --> 00:20:56,210
She's Formula 1.

324
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,719
Yes, she is, Superstar.

325
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,659
Your brother and I got together
with the bean counters.

326
00:21:01,660 --> 00:21:03,719
And since the economics
of F1 are not

327
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,429
so significantly different
to the economics of Formula 2,

328
00:21:06,430 --> 00:21:09,329
well, we thought if we were
going to be losing money,

329
00:21:09,330 --> 00:21:12,469
we might as well be doing it on
the big roulette table in Formula 1.

330
00:21:12,470 --> 00:21:15,730
You fat, little, inbred beauty.
Come here.

331
00:21:20,110 --> 00:21:23,679
Actually, credit where it's
due, we got the idea from Niki.

332
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,279
- Who?
- Lauda.

333
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,679
Bought his way in
rather than mess about

334
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,079
in the lower divisions.
I thought

335
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,379
"Bloody hell, he's right."

336
00:21:30,380 --> 00:21:32,289
No sponsorship, Superstar.

337
00:21:32,290 --> 00:21:33,649
I hope you approve.

338
00:21:33,650 --> 00:21:37,380
No vulgar logos for
cigarettes or condoms.

339
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:40,189
Just plain white with the flags.

340
00:21:40,190 --> 00:21:42,250
And racing overalls

341
00:21:43,260 --> 00:21:44,390
which read

342
00:21:44,970 --> 00:21:47,660
"Sex. Breakfast of champions."

343
00:21:50,070 --> 00:21:51,630
So when do we start?

344
00:21:52,970 --> 00:21:55,409
- Soon as you're ready.
- Ready?

345
00:21:55,410 --> 00:21:58,070
I've been waiting for
this my whole life.

346
00:22:09,220 --> 00:22:11,259
<i>When the season started,
people wondered</i>

347
00:22:11,260 --> 00:22:13,129
<i>whether Lord Hesketh
and his team</i>

348
00:22:13,130 --> 00:22:15,529
<i>of upper-class enthusiasts
were bringing glamour</i>

349
00:22:15,530 --> 00:22:18,330
<i>to the racing community
or just comedy.</i>

350
00:22:18,670 --> 00:22:21,069
<i>Certainly it was the first
time anyone had seen</i>

351
00:22:21,070 --> 00:22:24,200
<i>a butler sewing oysters
and caviar in the pits.</i>

352
00:22:24,470 --> 00:22:27,369
<i>But they have made
quite an impact.</i>

353
00:22:27,370 --> 00:22:30,979
<i>6th in France, 4th in
Britain and 3rd in Holland.</i>

354
00:22:30,980 --> 00:22:34,109
<i>All drivers on the track,
caution flags are out.</i>

355
00:22:34,110 --> 00:22:36,649
<i>A severe crash at the Esses.</i>

356
00:22:36,650 --> 00:22:39,089
<i>Red flag. There's a
car off the track.</i>

357
00:22:39,090 --> 00:22:41,089
<i>And reports are reaching
me that there's been</i>

358
00:22:41,090 --> 00:22:43,319
<i>a serious accident
in qualifying.</i>

359
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,529
<i>The identity of the driver
we don't currently have in a moment,</i>

360
00:22:45,530 --> 00:22:48,399
<i>but as you can tell from
all the activity going on</i>

361
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,129
<i>behind me towards the track, it was clearly
a grave incident indeed.</i>

362
00:22:52,130 --> 00:22:54,699
<i>We will, of course, have more
information for you as we get it,</i>

363
00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:58,160
<i>but it is the sight and sound
of Formula 1 nobody likes to see.</i>

364
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,170
- Get your hands off me!
- Hey, come on!

365
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,059
<i>Drivers of top stature we've
lost just in the past 4 seasons</i>

366
00:23:18,060 --> 00:23:20,250
<i>have included Piers Courage,</i>

367
00:23:20,530 --> 00:23:21,620
<i>Jochen Rindt,</i>

368
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:23,690
<i>Jo Siffert,</i>

369
00:23:24,630 --> 00:23:26,099
<i>Roger Williamson</i>

370
00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:28,239
<i>and today, at Watkins Glen,</i>

371
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,140
<i>Formula 1 has claimed
another driver.</i>

372
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,169
<i>The Tyrrell team have
withdrawn from the race.</i>

373
00:23:34,170 --> 00:23:36,479
<i>Their places on the grid
will be left empty.</i>

374
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,149
- Terrible.
- They should cancel the race.

375
00:23:39,150 --> 00:23:40,130
Why?

376
00:23:40,650 --> 00:23:43,649
He made a mistake, went
into the corner too fast.

377
00:23:43,650 --> 00:23:45,019
It's his fault.

378
00:23:45,020 --> 00:23:47,249
- Is that right?
- It's obvious.

379
00:23:47,250 --> 00:23:49,319
Look at the tyre marks.

380
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,659
So says the nobody, who had
to pay for his own drive.

381
00:23:52,660 --> 00:23:54,589
How's that working out
for you, by the way?

382
00:23:54,590 --> 00:23:55,690
Fine.

383
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,129
How is it at the back?

384
00:23:58,130 --> 00:24:00,600
Not planning on being
there for long.

385
00:24:01,470 --> 00:24:04,300
10 minutes to the warm-up lap.
10 minutes.

386
00:24:07,540 --> 00:24:08,730
Arsehole.

387
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,779
<i>Heading into the Grand Hotel
hairpin, second gear.</i>

388
00:24:13,780 --> 00:24:16,779
<i>Turn in hard, looking
for late apex,</i>

389
00:24:16,780 --> 00:24:18,440
<i>gentle with the bar.</i>

390
00:24:19,250 --> 00:24:21,589
<i>Heading into Portier,
second gear,</i>

391
00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:22,919
<i>clip the apex,</i>

392
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,659
<i>light brake, stay in second,</i>

393
00:24:24,660 --> 00:24:26,559
<i>looking for a good exit.</i>

394
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,499
<i>Heading through the
tunnel, gradual right,</i>

395
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:31,459
<i>up through 3rd,
4th, 5th...</i>

396
00:24:31,460 --> 00:24:33,300
ls Alexander around?

397
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,060
Yes, he was.

398
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,609
He went back to the
house to take a call.

399
00:24:38,610 --> 00:24:40,309
He'll be back shortly.

400
00:24:40,310 --> 00:24:43,309
He only wanted to show
me his pride and Joy.

401
00:24:43,310 --> 00:24:46,009
Rhymes with "boy" if you ask me.

402
00:24:46,010 --> 00:24:47,270
And "toy."

403
00:24:48,010 --> 00:24:49,719
God, it's so flimsy.

404
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,319
For something that
costs so much.

405
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,020
There's no comfort, no
protection, nothing.

406
00:24:56,360 --> 00:24:59,059
No, it's just a little
coffin, really.

407
00:24:59,060 --> 00:25:01,960
Surrounded by high-octane
fuel in here.

408
00:25:02,260 --> 00:25:04,960
Being driven round 170 mph.

409
00:25:05,270 --> 00:25:08,600
To all intents and purposes,
this thing's a bomb on wheels.

410
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,430
You're James, aren't you?

411
00:25:12,770 --> 00:25:13,740
Yes.

412
00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:17,110
You fit the description.

413
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:18,710
Is that right?

414
00:25:19,750 --> 00:25:22,019
Suzy. Friend of Alex's.

415
00:25:22,020 --> 00:25:23,210
Yeah, yeah.

416
00:25:23,650 --> 00:25:25,280
I know exactly.

417
00:25:26,690 --> 00:25:28,559
What was the description?

418
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,219
Mostly positive in
terms of appearance.

419
00:25:30,220 --> 00:25:32,429
Negative only in
terms of character.

420
00:25:32,430 --> 00:25:34,890
I've been told to avoid you.

421
00:25:35,130 --> 00:25:36,290
By whom?

422
00:25:36,930 --> 00:25:38,199
Alexander.

423
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,229
He says you're a bad boy.

424
00:25:40,230 --> 00:25:42,339
Alexander doesn't know
what he's talking about.

425
00:25:42,340 --> 00:25:44,399
I was. I'm not anymore.

426
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,469
The new me is very professional.

427
00:25:46,470 --> 00:25:48,209
Early to bed, early to rise.

428
00:25:48,210 --> 00:25:49,540
All very dull,

429
00:25:49,940 --> 00:25:51,379
but according to the team,

430
00:25:51,380 --> 00:25:54,509
the best way to keep beating
is the goose stepper.'

431
00:25:54,510 --> 00:25:56,449
Is that what you were
doing when I came in?

432
00:25:56,450 --> 00:25:59,389
Yes, visualization techniques,
memorising the circuit,

433
00:25:59,390 --> 00:26:02,120
in this case Monaco,
which is up next.

434
00:26:06,990 --> 00:26:09,429
Personally I've always
been a great believer

435
00:26:09,430 --> 00:26:11,359
in getting there on the
day, putting my foot down

436
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:13,590
and playing chicken
with everyone else.

437
00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:16,669
But they don't want me
doing that anymore.

438
00:26:16,670 --> 00:26:20,300
They want my body like a temple
and my mind like a monk.

439
00:26:21,140 --> 00:26:23,639
And what about your
soul, your heart?

440
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,040
They've got ideas
about that, too.

441
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,619
They want me to stop
messing around,

442
00:26:28,620 --> 00:26:31,949
settle down, get married with
the next nice girl I meet.

443
00:26:31,950 --> 00:26:34,149
They think that'd
be good for me.

444
00:26:34,150 --> 00:26:35,659
What do you think?

445
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:37,680
It sounds fucking awful.

446
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,699
But since they're right
about most things,

447
00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:45,160
they're probably right
about that too.

448
00:26:45,470 --> 00:26:48,400
You don't fancy getting
married, do you?

449
00:27:13,460 --> 00:27:14,430
Suzy.

450
00:27:17,460 --> 00:27:19,460
Hey, hey, hey!

451
00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:25,209
- What's going on with him?
- Nothing. Nothing.

452
00:27:25,210 --> 00:27:27,209
Didn't want to ruin your day.

453
00:27:27,210 --> 00:27:28,330
It's...

454
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,110
- it's the Kraut.
- What about him?

455
00:27:32,180 --> 00:27:34,309
He's just been
signed by Ferrari.

456
00:27:34,310 --> 00:27:36,180
You're kidding me?

457
00:27:36,550 --> 00:27:38,349
Jesus. How did that happen?

458
00:27:38,350 --> 00:27:40,149
Did he buy his way in there too?

459
00:27:40,150 --> 00:27:43,019
Well, the old man
took Regazzoni back

460
00:27:43,020 --> 00:27:45,229
and he insisted
on it apparently.

461
00:27:45,230 --> 00:27:48,420
He says that Niki's a
genius setting up the cars.

462
00:28:06,710 --> 00:28:09,179
It's terrible.
Drives like a pig.

463
00:28:09,180 --> 00:28:12,089
- You can't say that.
- Why not?

464
00:28:12,090 --> 00:28:14,589
- It's a Ferrari!
- It's a shitbox!

465
00:28:14,590 --> 00:28:16,619
It understeers like crazy
and the weight distribution

466
00:28:16,620 --> 00:28:18,089
is a disaster.

467
00:28:18,090 --> 00:28:19,489
It's amazing, all
these facilities

468
00:28:19,490 --> 00:28:21,930
and you make a piece
of crap like this.

469
00:28:52,430 --> 00:28:54,129
"Ferrari family,"

470
00:28:54,130 --> 00:28:55,929
"our good friend
Clay Regazzoni."

471
00:28:55,930 --> 00:28:58,259
You are family and friend
to the commendatore

472
00:28:58,260 --> 00:28:59,599
as long as you win.

473
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,199
The minute you
don't, ciao, ciao.

474
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,699
I totally understand.

475
00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:04,099
It's business.

476
00:29:04,100 --> 00:29:05,509
I would do the same.

477
00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:07,709
But it isn't just
business, is it?

478
00:29:07,710 --> 00:29:10,339
What we do. It's passion, love.

479
00:29:10,340 --> 00:29:13,309
Which is why we are prepared
to risk our lives for it.

480
00:29:13,310 --> 00:29:14,349
Not me.

481
00:29:14,350 --> 00:29:16,519
If I had more talent and
could earn better money

482
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,989
with something else, I would.

483
00:29:18,990 --> 00:29:20,989
How do you know you
will make money here?

484
00:29:20,990 --> 00:29:22,659
You haven't yet.

485
00:29:22,660 --> 00:29:24,850
Not yet, but I will.

486
00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:28,020
If you can, I can.

487
00:29:31,260 --> 00:29:34,200
You know, are you
ever not an asshole?

488
00:29:34,530 --> 00:29:36,539
- Why am I an asshole?
- Well...

489
00:29:36,540 --> 00:29:40,109
You know by now I'm both quicker than you
and better at setting up a car.

490
00:29:40,110 --> 00:29:42,379
You can't deal with it,
so you're the asshole.

491
00:29:42,380 --> 00:29:43,640
Screw you.

492
00:29:50,980 --> 00:29:52,419
I brought you along today

493
00:29:52,420 --> 00:29:54,449
because you seem like
a lonely kind of guy.

494
00:29:54,450 --> 00:29:56,619
I thought if I introduced
you to some nice people,

495
00:29:56,620 --> 00:29:58,319
that could rub off on you.

496
00:29:58,320 --> 00:29:59,489
Forget it.

497
00:29:59,490 --> 00:30:01,129
Make your own friends.

498
00:30:01,130 --> 00:30:02,559
Come on, Clay.

499
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:03,960
I'm sorry.

500
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:41,130
Are you leaving?

501
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:42,970
Yes.

502
00:30:43,470 --> 00:30:45,469
Can you give me a lift
to the nearest town,

503
00:30:45,470 --> 00:30:48,000
anywhere with a train station?

504
00:30:48,410 --> 00:30:49,380
Sure.

505
00:30:50,010 --> 00:30:52,309
Trento's half an hour's drive.

506
00:30:52,310 --> 00:30:53,340
Get in.

507
00:31:20,370 --> 00:31:22,039
What are you doing?

508
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,109
You hear that noise
when you accelerate?

509
00:31:24,110 --> 00:31:26,379
- No.
- Your fan belt is loose.

510
00:31:26,380 --> 00:31:27,610
My what?

511
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,649
And when you brake, your
foot goes all the way down,

512
00:31:30,650 --> 00:31:32,489
which means there's
air in the system.

513
00:31:32,490 --> 00:31:34,650
- Anything else?
- No.

514
00:31:35,620 --> 00:31:38,320
Apart from the rear
brakes are worn out,

515
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,589
the front right
tyre is a bit soft,

516
00:31:40,590 --> 00:31:43,190
which explains why
you're weaving so much.

517
00:31:43,660 --> 00:31:45,229
How can you tell?

518
00:31:45,230 --> 00:31:47,099
- My ass.
- Sorry?

519
00:31:47,100 --> 00:31:49,299
God gave me an Ok mind,

520
00:31:49,300 --> 00:31:52,339
but a really good ass which
can feel everything in a car.

521
00:31:52,340 --> 00:31:53,969
You don't know what
you're talking about.

522
00:31:53,970 --> 00:31:56,439
This car is fine. I just
had a service a week ago.

523
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,509
Not a good one.

524
00:31:57,510 --> 00:32:00,379
Yes, a very good
one, very expensive.

525
00:32:00,380 --> 00:32:02,940
This car's as good as new.
Relax.

526
00:32:10,090 --> 00:32:12,559
- You're not in a hurry, are you?
- No.

527
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,390
As long as I'm back in
Maranello Monday morning.

528
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,000
Yes.

529
00:33:41,950 --> 00:33:44,749
- Actually, we do, yeah.
- It's my honor, Niki.

530
00:33:44,750 --> 00:33:47,219
- Thank you.
- My car is your car.

531
00:33:47,220 --> 00:33:49,159
On one condition, though.

532
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,189
It's a piece of shit.
It's dog shit.

533
00:33:51,190 --> 00:33:54,180
But if you drive it, you
make my life, Niki, eh?

534
00:34:10,980 --> 00:34:13,509
Would someone please
tell me what's going on?

535
00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:16,450
- Who are you? Should I know you?
- What, you don't know?

536
00:34:16,980 --> 00:34:19,419
He's Niki Lauda,
Formula 1 driver,

537
00:34:19,420 --> 00:34:21,249
and he just signed with Ferrari.

538
00:34:21,250 --> 00:34:22,589
- Him?
- Yes.

539
00:34:22,590 --> 00:34:24,589
- Impossible.
- Why?

540
00:34:24,590 --> 00:34:27,089
Well, you know,
Formula 1 drivers,

541
00:34:27,090 --> 00:34:29,299
they have long hair, are sexy...

542
00:34:29,300 --> 00:34:31,229
their shirts are open to here.

543
00:34:31,230 --> 00:34:32,929
- Thank you.
- Yes.

544
00:34:32,930 --> 00:34:36,270
Anyway, look at the way he's
driving, like an old man.

545
00:34:40,570 --> 00:34:42,409
There's no need to drive fast.

546
00:34:42,410 --> 00:34:45,109
It just increases the
percentage of risk.

547
00:34:45,110 --> 00:34:47,279
We're not in a hurry.
I'm not being paid.

548
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,049
Right now, with zero
incentive or reward,

549
00:34:50,050 --> 00:34:52,040
why would I drive fast?

550
00:34:53,620 --> 00:34:56,020
Because I'm asking you to.

551
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,519
<i>This is an incredible
battle between Niki Lauda</i>

552
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,959
<i>in the red Ferrari
and James Hunt</i>

553
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,930
<i>in the white Hesketh.</i>

554
00:36:07,660 --> 00:36:09,429
<i>...the challenge
of Niki Lauda...</i>

555
00:36:09,430 --> 00:36:12,469
<i>Lauda attacking Hunt. Lauda
gets through on the inside.</i>

556
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:14,269
<i>Goes wide at the exit.</i>

557
00:36:14,270 --> 00:36:15,739
<i>Hunt is past again.</i>

558
00:36:15,740 --> 00:36:19,009
<i>Once more, Lauda tries
to sneak up the inside.</i>

559
00:36:19,010 --> 00:36:22,379
<i>They're absolutely side
by side, wheel to wheel.</i>

560
00:36:22,380 --> 00:36:24,339
<i>So evenly matched.</i>

561
00:36:24,340 --> 00:36:27,209
<i>Fantastic battle between
these two great drivers.</i>

562
00:36:27,210 --> 00:36:29,440
<i>Hunt is now ahead once more.</i>

563
00:36:30,580 --> 00:36:32,589
<i>But Lauda's coming
back again now.</i>

564
00:36:32,590 --> 00:36:35,449
<i>Lauda once more
sneaks up the inside.</i>

565
00:36:35,450 --> 00:36:38,459
<i>And again he runs wide.
Again the Hesketh...</i>

566
00:36:38,460 --> 00:36:41,650
- Suzy, we're ready, come on.
- Just one second.

567
00:36:42,090 --> 00:36:44,890
- Can we go, yeah?
- Okay, yeah.

568
00:36:45,330 --> 00:36:48,469
<i>We're in the closing laps of
this race here at Watkins Glen.</i>

569
00:36:48,470 --> 00:36:50,330
<i>They come down the hill.</i>

570
00:36:51,070 --> 00:36:53,009
<i>And Hunt's got a problem!</i>

571
00:36:53,010 --> 00:36:55,469
<i>Hunt pulls across to the left!</i>

572
00:36:55,470 --> 00:36:58,310
<i>Lauda goes ahead on his own.</i>

573
00:36:59,380 --> 00:37:02,309
<i>A sad end to a wonderful battle.</i>

574
00:37:02,310 --> 00:37:05,010
<i>Hunt pushing off the marshal.</i>

575
00:37:13,430 --> 00:37:16,129
<i>The chequered flag
is waiting for Lauda</i>

576
00:37:16,130 --> 00:37:17,560
<i>and for Ferrari!</i>

577
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,969
<i>The title going to Niki Lauda,</i>

578
00:37:21,970 --> 00:37:23,369
<i>who wins the race,</i>

579
00:37:23,370 --> 00:37:26,600
<i>who wins the World Championship.</i>

580
00:38:07,380 --> 00:38:10,180
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

581
00:38:11,250 --> 00:38:12,380
Marlene.

582
00:38:13,950 --> 00:38:16,059
With a car like that,
the rest of us

583
00:38:16,060 --> 00:38:18,189
never stood a chance, did we?

584
00:38:18,190 --> 00:38:21,189
Maybe they pick the car being so good
has something to do with me.

585
00:38:21,190 --> 00:38:22,959
Come on, Niki.
You're in a Ferrari.

586
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,229
I'm in a Hesketh.

587
00:38:24,230 --> 00:38:26,069
Equal terms, the way
it was in Formula 3,

588
00:38:26,070 --> 00:38:28,429
- Id' beat you and you know it.
- Never.

589
00:38:28,430 --> 00:38:30,599
You might win one
race, maybe two,

590
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,039
because you're aggressive.

591
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,969
But in the long run, over
the course of a season,

592
00:38:33,970 --> 00:38:35,109
no chance.

593
00:38:35,110 --> 00:38:36,379
Right. Why is that?

594
00:38:36,380 --> 00:38:38,039
Because to be a champion,

595
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,349
it takes more than
just being quick.

596
00:38:39,350 --> 00:38:40,979
It's the whole picture.

597
00:38:40,980 --> 00:38:43,249
You're just a charger
and a party guy.

598
00:38:43,250 --> 00:38:44,949
That's why everybody likes you.

599
00:38:44,950 --> 00:38:47,890
Try saying that and tell
me you're not jealous.

600
00:38:48,090 --> 00:38:50,959
Why would I be jealous?
Think about it.

601
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,259
All that affection,
all those smiles,

602
00:38:53,260 --> 00:38:55,229
is a sign of disrespect.

603
00:38:55,230 --> 00:38:57,959
They don't fear you. Whereas
compared that to me.

604
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,369
Yes, compared to you,
whom no one likes.

605
00:39:00,370 --> 00:39:02,199
- Right.
- Not even his own teammates.

606
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,039
Right. Because I'm
a serious guy.

607
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,709
I go to bed early, I look
after myself, look after my car.

608
00:39:07,710 --> 00:39:10,709
- Yes, you're very well-behaved.
- Go to work, kick ass.

609
00:39:10,710 --> 00:39:12,339
And then, after the
race, I go home

610
00:39:12,340 --> 00:39:13,949
instead of going to bars

611
00:39:13,950 --> 00:39:16,719
and talk all this bullshit
with all these assholes.

612
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:18,110
Arseholes?

613
00:39:18,450 --> 00:39:20,980
You should go home
more often too.

614
00:39:24,260 --> 00:39:26,190
I heard you got married.

615
00:39:27,430 --> 00:39:28,980
Yes, I did.

616
00:39:30,260 --> 00:39:33,430
So where is she, this
mysterious wife?

617
00:39:34,170 --> 00:39:35,930
In New York, working.

618
00:39:37,540 --> 00:39:40,039
You know, I've never
seen you with her once.

619
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,230
No?

620
00:39:43,210 --> 00:39:46,209
Well, maybe that's because
you're always at home,

621
00:39:46,210 --> 00:39:48,379
on your own, looking
after yourself,

622
00:39:48,380 --> 00:39:50,370
being a good little boy.

623
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,520
Take a drink on me, James.

624
00:39:57,490 --> 00:40:00,390
Thank you, Niki. I
might just have two.

625
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:12,669
Right, Bubbles,

626
00:40:12,670 --> 00:40:15,339
whatever it takes to beat
that prick next year,

627
00:40:15,340 --> 00:40:16,609
just say it,

628
00:40:16,610 --> 00:40:18,379
you're word is my command.

629
00:40:18,380 --> 00:40:20,679
There are no lengths to
which I will not go.

630
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,310
And I mean it.

631
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,280
What the hell's going on?

632
00:40:28,150 --> 00:40:30,019
Where is everybody?

633
00:40:30,020 --> 00:40:31,550
What's the matter?

634
00:40:36,230 --> 00:40:38,629
Do you know what the
date it is today?

635
00:40:38,630 --> 00:40:41,499
Yes. It's November, the 14th.
Why?

636
00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:45,370
Do you have any idea of the
significance of that date?

637
00:40:47,170 --> 00:40:50,570
I don't know. Time to
start killing pheasants?

638
00:40:52,610 --> 00:40:55,749
Actually, it's the deadline
for securing sponsorship

639
00:40:55,750 --> 00:40:58,449
for the forthcoming
Formula 1 season.

640
00:40:58,450 --> 00:40:59,449
Yes?

641
00:40:59,450 --> 00:41:01,519
Which elapsed at
midnight last night

642
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,989
- and we didn't attract any.
- Well, so?

643
00:41:03,990 --> 00:41:06,289
We aren't looking
for sponsorship.

644
00:41:06,290 --> 00:41:10,130
Like you said, condoms an
cigarettes, vulgar, right?

645
00:41:10,460 --> 00:41:11,430
Right.

646
00:41:13,330 --> 00:41:15,630
Except we are, or were.

647
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,630
I've made something
of a miscalculation.

648
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,170
The economics, Formula
1, realities thereof.

649
00:41:26,580 --> 00:41:30,210
It turns out not like the
lower divisions at all.

650
00:41:32,250 --> 00:41:34,050
What are you saying?

651
00:41:36,020 --> 00:41:38,650
I'm saying it's over, Superstar.

652
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,290
The banks have stepped in,
started laying everyone off.

653
00:41:44,500 --> 00:41:47,060
Probably have to
sell this place.

654
00:41:48,030 --> 00:41:49,300
Oh, Christ.

655
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,270
I need a drive, Pete. I need
you to find me a drive.

656
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,640
I mean, what about Lotus?

657
00:42:37,180 --> 00:42:38,949
You don't wanna know.

658
00:42:38,950 --> 00:42:41,110
- Actually, I do.
- Okay.

659
00:42:43,690 --> 00:42:46,289
They felt your
reputation preceded you.

660
00:42:46,290 --> 00:42:48,230
And what does that mean?

661
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,690
It's my other line. Look,
I'll get back to you.

662
00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:56,139
Peter Hunt.

663
00:42:56,140 --> 00:42:57,100
Fuck!

664
00:43:08,310 --> 00:43:11,210
Don't worry. Something
will turn up.

665
00:43:18,420 --> 00:43:21,190
Doubt that will help
in the meantime.

666
00:43:23,500 --> 00:43:26,169
Why don't we go away
at the weekend?

667
00:43:26,170 --> 00:43:27,290
Skiing.

668
00:43:27,930 --> 00:43:30,130
Before I go back to New York.

669
00:43:33,010 --> 00:43:36,109
Talk to me, James. Don't
make a stranger of me.

670
00:43:36,110 --> 00:43:39,670
You know, Suzy, only a stranger
would invite me skiing

671
00:43:40,610 --> 00:43:44,010
when they know I haven't
got a fucking drive!

672
00:43:49,590 --> 00:43:51,280
I can't watch this.

673
00:43:51,990 --> 00:43:54,659
What were you hoping for anyway?

674
00:43:54,660 --> 00:43:57,259
A well-adjusted knight
in shining armour?

675
00:43:57,260 --> 00:43:58,990
No danger of that.

676
00:43:59,300 --> 00:44:01,499
- Let me give you some advice.
- I'm all ears.

677
00:44:01,500 --> 00:44:03,469
Don't go to men who are
willing to kill themselves

678
00:44:03,470 --> 00:44:05,769
driving in circles
looking for normality.

679
00:44:05,770 --> 00:44:07,439
I never expected normality.

680
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,479
God knows I walked into
this with my eyes open.

681
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,179
I just hoped I'd married someone
who is half as impressive

682
00:44:12,180 --> 00:44:14,209
on the inside as he
is on the outside!

683
00:44:14,210 --> 00:44:16,249
At least there's something
behind the facade.

684
00:44:16,250 --> 00:44:19,319
- James.
- Fuck off to New York, dear.

685
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,619
There must be a moisturiser
or an eye shadow somewhere

686
00:44:21,620 --> 00:44:24,560
that needs your vapid
mush to flog it.

687
00:45:00,130 --> 00:45:01,729
- Hello?
- Hi, James.

688
00:45:01,730 --> 00:45:04,920
It's Peter. Something's
up at McLaren.

689
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,969
- What have you heard?
- Nothing. Why?

690
00:45:07,970 --> 00:45:10,969
I heard Emerson's off.
He's dumped them in it.

691
00:45:10,970 --> 00:45:13,109
Jesus. Get me in there, Pete.

692
00:45:13,110 --> 00:45:15,400
Say anything, just
get me in that room.

693
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,449
I'll come straight to the point.

694
00:45:22,450 --> 00:45:25,479
- Our esteemed lead driver...
- Fitti-fucking-Paldi.

695
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,119
Has ditched us for another
team at the last minute.

696
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,389
- Coper-fucking-sucar.
- And we need a replacement.

697
00:45:30,390 --> 00:45:32,450
Asa-fucking-P.

698
00:45:33,230 --> 00:45:35,959
Fortunately a few hands
have already gone up,

699
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:37,299
good people.

700
00:45:37,300 --> 00:45:40,230
- Jacky Ickx.
- I'm quicker than Jacky.

701
00:45:40,470 --> 00:45:43,369
But he's consistent, dependable.

702
00:45:43,370 --> 00:45:44,639
A grown-up.

703
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,109
Right, and will he go for that
gap when no one else will?

704
00:45:48,110 --> 00:45:50,939
Will he put his life on the
line the day it really matters?

705
00:45:50,940 --> 00:45:52,509
The sponsors like him.

706
00:45:52,510 --> 00:45:54,609
What do you want, a driver
or a brush salesman?

707
00:45:54,610 --> 00:45:56,679
- We wanna be successful.
- Yes, so do I.

708
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,219
But that means
beating Niki Lauda,

709
00:45:58,220 --> 00:46:00,019
not being a show
pony for sponsors.

710
00:46:00,020 --> 00:46:01,689
I heard about this
thing with Niki.

711
00:46:01,690 --> 00:46:03,150
Everyone has.

712
00:46:03,620 --> 00:46:05,219
You really thing
you can beat him?

713
00:46:05,220 --> 00:46:06,529
I'd beat him in a McLaren.

714
00:46:06,530 --> 00:46:09,460
It's the only car out there
as quick as the Ferrari.

715
00:46:09,730 --> 00:46:12,259
Which is why I'm here, begging.

716
00:46:12,260 --> 00:46:13,699
I'll do whatever you ask.

717
00:46:13,700 --> 00:46:15,969
I'll put on a tie, I'll
smile for sponsors,

718
00:46:15,970 --> 00:46:17,969
say the right things.

719
00:46:17,970 --> 00:46:20,400
I can beat this guy, trust me.

720
00:46:21,110 --> 00:46:23,409
Just give me the drive.

721
00:46:23,410 --> 00:46:25,639
Yeah, he can be a loose canon.

722
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,049
And, yeah, he will
drive you all mad,

723
00:46:28,050 --> 00:46:31,179
but in terms of raw
talent and right stuff,

724
00:46:31,180 --> 00:46:33,449
there is no better
driver in the world.

725
00:46:33,450 --> 00:46:35,689
He's the real thing, Teddy.

726
00:46:35,690 --> 00:46:38,289
He's what we all
came into this for.

727
00:46:38,290 --> 00:46:40,589
9 days out of 10 you'll
be pulling your hair out,

728
00:46:40,590 --> 00:46:43,659
but on that 10th day
James will be unbeatable.

729
00:46:43,660 --> 00:46:46,259
That is the day you will wish
you had him in your car.

730
00:46:46,260 --> 00:46:49,099
<i>You'll never win the
championship with Jacky Ickx.</i>

731
00:46:49,100 --> 00:46:51,900
You just might with James.

732
00:47:13,290 --> 00:47:16,499
<i>Welcome to Sao Paulo, Brazil,
and the Interlagos circuit</i>

733
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:19,769
<i>for the first race in the
1976 Formula 1 season,</i>

734
00:47:19,770 --> 00:47:23,099
<i>where the main news is that James
Hunt qualified fastest,</i>

735
00:47:23,100 --> 00:47:25,569
<i>beating Niki Lauda's
Ferrari to pole position</i>

736
00:47:25,570 --> 00:47:28,300
<i>by just 200th of a second.</i>

737
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:30,970
New car.

738
00:47:31,380 --> 00:47:33,540
- I noticed.
- Pole position.

739
00:47:34,180 --> 00:47:35,649
I noticed that too.

740
00:47:35,650 --> 00:47:38,419
Level playing field now,
my ratty little friend.

741
00:47:38,420 --> 00:47:39,419
Yeah.

742
00:47:39,420 --> 00:47:41,649
Let's see where we
are after lap one.

743
00:47:41,650 --> 00:47:44,420
Let's see where we are
in 5 races time.

744
00:47:45,260 --> 00:47:47,629
<i>Hunt has the pit
Lane pole position,</i>

745
00:47:47,630 --> 00:47:49,259
<i>which should give
him the best chance</i>

746
00:47:49,260 --> 00:47:51,429
<i>of outdragging Lauda's Ferrari.</i>

747
00:47:51,430 --> 00:47:53,269
<i>If ever there was a doubt about</i>

748
00:47:53,270 --> 00:47:56,329
<i>whether Lauda had a serious
challenger to this season,</i>

749
00:47:56,330 --> 00:47:59,630
<i>Hunt and his McLaren have
certainly given us the answer.</i>

750
00:48:16,090 --> 00:48:18,589
<i>Here in South Africa,
James Hunt is determined</i>

751
00:48:18,590 --> 00:48:22,120
<i>to make amends after that
disastrous retirement in Brazil.</i>

752
00:48:23,230 --> 00:48:26,899
<i>But it's Lauda who takes
the flag here at Kyalami.</i>

753
00:48:26,900 --> 00:48:28,929
<i>James Hunt comes home second</i>

754
00:48:28,930 --> 00:48:31,369
<i>to confirm his championship
challenge at last</i>

755
00:48:31,370 --> 00:48:34,400
<i>and score his first
points of the season.</i>

756
00:48:35,070 --> 00:48:38,979
That wind you can feel is me
breathing down your neck.

757
00:48:38,980 --> 00:48:41,000
Next time I'll have you.

758
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:43,880
We'll see in Spain.

759
00:49:04,070 --> 00:49:07,569
James Hunt finally takes his
first victory of the season

760
00:49:07,570 --> 00:49:10,409
here in Spain, after
a brilliant drive.

761
00:49:10,410 --> 00:49:12,970
It was only a matter of time.

762
00:49:29,330 --> 00:49:32,199
- It's too wide.
- Disqualified.

763
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,669
- What?
- You're disqualified.

764
00:49:34,670 --> 00:49:36,569
How can we be disqualified?

765
00:49:36,570 --> 00:49:38,900
- 1.5 cm.
- It's the same car.

766
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,510
...McLaren M23 has proved
very controversial here.

767
00:49:50,650 --> 00:49:53,049
Just make it narrower.
I don't care how.

768
00:49:53,050 --> 00:49:55,089
New rear suspension.
New wishbones.

769
00:49:55,090 --> 00:49:57,959
I wanna make sure this
thing is legal, no doubts.

770
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,689
Then we'd better move the oil
coolers back to the old position.

771
00:50:00,690 --> 00:50:03,229
- The wing brackets need...
- Fuck.

772
00:50:03,230 --> 00:50:05,890
What the fuck d'you
think we're doing?

773
00:50:15,210 --> 00:50:18,209
<i>And with Hunt disqualified
from his Spain win,</i>

774
00:50:18,210 --> 00:50:21,049
<i>his championship here
is not going well.</i>

775
00:50:21,050 --> 00:50:23,519
<i>And now it's all gone
wrong here at Monaco!</i>

776
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,420
<i>His engine is smoking!</i>

777
00:50:27,450 --> 00:50:30,419
<i>Smoke pouring from the
engine of that McLaren!</i>

778
00:50:30,420 --> 00:50:31,759
<i>And James Hunt is out!</i>

779
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,549
Can you tell us what happened?

780
00:50:33,550 --> 00:50:35,459
Sure. It's magic, we've
taken a great car,

781
00:50:35,460 --> 00:50:37,359
a great piece of engineering
and overnight turned it

782
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,960
into a big, huge stinking turd.

783
00:50:52,140 --> 00:50:53,110
Shit!

784
00:50:57,050 --> 00:50:59,049
What the hell have you done?
The car's evil!

785
00:50:59,050 --> 00:51:00,749
It's fucking undriveable!

786
00:51:00,750 --> 00:51:03,319
James if there's a problem with
the car, we'll fix it.

787
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,389
The car is a piece of shit.
You should be appealing this James.

788
00:51:05,390 --> 00:51:07,229
- We are appealing.
- We'll sort it out.

789
00:51:07,230 --> 00:51:09,689
- They're killing us out there.
- Go an get your dick wet.

790
00:51:09,690 --> 00:51:11,659
- You're a wanker!
- Fuck you!

791
00:51:11,660 --> 00:51:13,629
You're fucking wanker!

792
00:51:13,630 --> 00:51:15,729
But this was a good
race for you, no, Niki?

793
00:51:15,730 --> 00:51:17,139
It's good for everyone

794
00:51:17,140 --> 00:51:19,039
that the quickest car
happens to be a legal car.

795
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,939
James, your 50 points behind
Lauda in the championship.

796
00:51:21,940 --> 00:51:23,709
You've had another
retirement today.

797
00:51:23,710 --> 00:51:25,239
What's going wrong?

798
00:51:25,240 --> 00:51:27,249
It's dirty politics
and dirty tricks,

799
00:51:27,250 --> 00:51:29,149
that's what's going wrong.

800
00:51:29,150 --> 00:51:31,379
<i>So as we approach
the halfway point</i>

801
00:51:31,380 --> 00:51:33,419
<i>in this year's Formula 1 season,</i>

802
00:51:33,420 --> 00:51:36,689
<i>Ferrari and Niki Lauda
seem clearly on top</i>

803
00:51:36,690 --> 00:51:40,029
<i>and James Hunt and
McLaren are struggling.</i>

804
00:51:40,030 --> 00:51:43,360
So, 5 races in,
how's it going so far?

805
00:51:43,700 --> 00:51:47,299
It's fine. Just got a little
problem with an Austrian rat

806
00:51:47,300 --> 00:51:50,369
and his team of Italian cheats
who've destroyed my car.

807
00:51:50,370 --> 00:51:53,509
- What are you talking about?
- About the race in Spain that I won.

808
00:51:53,510 --> 00:51:55,369
Yeah, in a car which
is not legal.

809
00:51:55,370 --> 00:51:57,109
5 8ths of
an inch too wide.

810
00:51:57,110 --> 00:51:59,409
You know that doesn't have the
slightest effect on speed.

811
00:51:59,410 --> 00:52:01,109
But you complained and
your team of lawyers

812
00:52:01,110 --> 00:52:04,079
leaned on the authorities. Now
we've had to rebuild the car

813
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,689
- and it's become a monster.
- At least it's a legal monster.

814
00:52:06,690 --> 00:52:08,489
You've had to
resort to cheating.

815
00:52:08,490 --> 00:52:11,759
You're driving an illegal car and
call me a cheater? It's pathetic.

816
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:15,429
- Rules are rules.
- Yes, and rats are rats.

817
00:52:15,430 --> 00:52:17,360
Thank you. Thank you.

818
00:52:19,630 --> 00:52:22,229
Do you really think
it upsets me, James,

819
00:52:22,230 --> 00:52:25,199
calling me a rat because
I look like one?

820
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:26,570
I don't mind it.

821
00:52:27,110 --> 00:52:29,109
Rats are ugly, sure,
and nobody like them,

822
00:52:29,110 --> 00:52:30,579
but they're very intelligent

823
00:52:30,580 --> 00:52:32,939
and they have a strong
survival instinct.

824
00:52:32,940 --> 00:52:33,910
Wonderful.

825
00:52:36,380 --> 00:52:38,440
No wonder she left him.

826
00:52:55,430 --> 00:52:57,370
Anyone seen Suzy?

827
00:52:58,740 --> 00:53:01,239
She's supposed to be here today.

828
00:53:01,240 --> 00:53:04,730
We didn't wanna tell
you before the race.

829
00:53:05,210 --> 00:53:06,340
Tell me what?

830
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:13,380
Jesus.

831
00:53:15,050 --> 00:53:16,389
<i>Blonde model Suzy Hunt</i>

832
00:53:16,390 --> 00:53:19,089

Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton</i>

833
00:53:19,090 --> 00:53:21,180
<i>round about of romance yesterday.</i>

834
00:53:38,580 --> 00:53:40,100
Is that from him?

835
00:53:40,450 --> 00:53:41,410
Yeah.

836
00:53:48,250 --> 00:53:50,350
So when did all this start?

837
00:53:51,620 --> 00:53:53,920
That weekend I went skiing.

838
00:53:56,730 --> 00:53:59,130
Why have you come here, James?

839
00:53:59,660 --> 00:54:01,630
I've got to get you back.

840
00:54:02,370 --> 00:54:04,499
You don't want me back.

841
00:54:04,500 --> 00:54:06,339
You never wanted to be
married in the first place.

842
00:54:06,340 --> 00:54:09,009
- Yes, I did.
- Oh, come on, James.

843
00:54:09,010 --> 00:54:11,639
You did it because you
hoped it might change you,

844
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,749
settle you down, help
with the racing.

845
00:54:13,750 --> 00:54:15,279
No, I didn't.

846
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,679
And who knows, if it had
been just the drinking,

847
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,670
or the dope, or the
infidelity or the moods,

848
00:54:21,220 --> 00:54:23,219
it might even have worked.

849
00:54:23,220 --> 00:54:25,219
- But when it's all of them...
- Yes, I know, I'm terrible.

850
00:54:25,220 --> 00:54:27,210
No, you're not terrible.

851
00:54:27,930 --> 00:54:31,450
You're just who you are at
this point in your life.

852
00:54:33,260 --> 00:54:35,700
God help anyone who wants more.

853
00:54:37,670 --> 00:54:39,369
And Richard Burton,

854
00:54:39,370 --> 00:54:41,930
will he be able
to give you more?

855
00:54:42,310 --> 00:54:45,939
You know, he has quite the
bad boy reputation himself.

856
00:54:45,940 --> 00:54:48,679
What's important is
how it feels to me,

857
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,670
and it feels like he adores me.

858
00:54:57,620 --> 00:54:58,590
James!

859
00:54:59,290 --> 00:55:01,729
Are you and Suzy
getting back together?

860
00:55:01,730 --> 00:55:03,999
It's all very amicable.

861
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,459
My wife has found
herself a new backer...

862
00:55:06,460 --> 00:55:09,229
I mean, lover, which
makes her happy.

863
00:55:09,230 --> 00:55:11,999
And Mr. Burton has found a
way of feeling young again,

864
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,199
which makes him happy.

865
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,169
Let's hope his pockets are deep.
They'll need to be.

866
00:55:16,170 --> 00:55:18,639
And I found a way to be
single and have an ex-wife

867
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:20,649
without it costing me a penny,

868
00:55:20,650 --> 00:55:23,410
which has to go down as the
biggest win of my career.

869
00:55:23,950 --> 00:55:25,970
I have a flight to catch.

870
00:56:53,100 --> 00:56:55,369
<i>We haven't seen this
sort of intensity</i>

871
00:56:55,370 --> 00:56:57,579
<i>from James Hunt all season long.</i>

872
00:56:57,580 --> 00:57:00,379
<i>Reports have been coming out
of the McLaren camp all week</i>

873
00:57:00,380 --> 00:57:03,970
<i>that their car is now fully
legal and faster than ever.</i>

874
00:57:13,590 --> 00:57:16,259
<i>Never mind the bloody wets.
We're still quick.</i>

875
00:57:19,700 --> 00:57:21,999
<i>Hunt has really closed
the gap on Lauda</i>

876
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,970
<i>as they head into Druids.</i>

877
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,209
<i>Niki Lauda is under real
pressure from James Hunt</i>

878
00:57:28,210 --> 00:57:30,870
<i>as they go up the hill
into Druids Corner.</i>

879
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,880
<i>And Hunt is in front of Lauda!</i>

880
00:57:46,090 --> 00:57:48,389
<i>So James Hunt gets the
plaudits of the crowd,</i>

881
00:57:48,390 --> 00:57:50,959
<i>the first Briton to win
a British Grand Prix</i>

882
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:54,420
<i>at Brands Hatch since
Jim Clark in 1964.</i>

883
00:57:56,970 --> 00:57:59,939
James, at the moment you've got
a terrific edge over the rest of the field,

884
00:57:59,940 --> 00:58:02,209
<i>how have you achieved
this advantage?</i>

885
00:58:02,210 --> 00:58:03,370
Big balls.

886
00:58:05,310 --> 00:58:08,249
<i>Following an inquiry into
the disqualification</i>

887

<i>of driver James Hunt from
the Spanish Grand Prix,</i>

<i>it has been decided to
overturn this disqualification</i>

889
00:58:14,490 --> 00:58:18,050
<i>and to restore his victory
and reinstate his points.</i>

890
00:58:24,030 --> 00:58:25,159
James!

891
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:28,129
A few weeks ago you were out
of the running season completely

892
00:58:28,130 --> 00:58:30,999
and now you're right back in it.
What's changed?

893
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,939
It's a combination of factors,

894
00:58:32,940 --> 00:58:35,439
not all of which I'm
prepared to discuss here but.

895
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,539
Justice being done re the
disqualification in Spain

896
00:58:38,540 --> 00:58:41,600
helps and having my car
back at its best again.

897
01:01:29,950 --> 01:01:32,519
<i>Welcome to the
legendary Nuburgring.</i>

898
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:35,219
<i>This is a 14.2 mile track,</i>

899
01:01:35,220 --> 01:01:38,660
<i>complete with 185
corners and bends.</i>

900
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,319
<i>Welcome to the Nuburgring,</i>

901
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:42,189
<i>the most dangerous circuit
on the season calendar.</i>

902
01:02:42,190 --> 01:02:43,749
<i>In Formula 1 it is known</i>

903
01:02:43,750 --> 01:02:45,289
<i>as "The Graveyard."</i>

904
01:02:45,290 --> 01:02:47,159
<i>The weather conditions
are far from ideal</i>

905
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:50,620
<i>and latest reports indicate
there is no relief in sight.</i>

906
01:02:54,970 --> 01:02:56,020
Gentlemen.

907
01:02:57,230 --> 01:03:00,039
Well, gentlemen,
please be quiet.

908
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,339
Thank you.

909
01:03:01,340 --> 01:03:03,200
- Niki Lauda.
- Thank you.

910
01:03:04,710 --> 01:03:08,149
I called this meeting because,
as all you drivers know,

911
01:03:08,150 --> 01:03:10,679
the Nuburgring is the most
stupid, barbaric, outdated

912
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:12,479
and dangerous track
in the world.

913
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,649
You've all seen the rain
that has been falling today.

914
01:03:14,650 --> 01:03:16,689
Now those of you with
experience know the ring

915
01:03:16,690 --> 01:03:19,559
needs perfect conditions to
be even remotely acceptable

916
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:21,159
in terms of risk.

917
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,459
And today, with the rain,
it's anything but perfect,

918
01:03:23,460 --> 01:03:26,499
so I called this meeting to
take a vote to cancel the race.

919
01:03:26,500 --> 01:03:28,190
Cancel the race?

920
01:03:28,670 --> 01:03:31,239
There would be no
change to the situation

921
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:32,569
as far as points is concerned.

922
01:03:32,570 --> 01:03:34,169
The race would
simply be cancelled.

923
01:03:34,170 --> 01:03:35,239
This is bullshit!

924
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,379
If the race is cancelled,
none of us get our race fees.

925
01:03:37,380 --> 01:03:39,709
That's true, you leave
without your fee,

926
01:03:39,710 --> 01:03:41,979
but you might leave
with your life.

927
01:03:41,980 --> 01:03:44,119
It also means that you
would effectively win

928
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:45,950
the championship.

929
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:49,149
So I can see why this
suits you just fine.

930
01:03:49,150 --> 01:03:50,219
Why?

931
01:03:50,220 --> 01:03:52,119
There won't be no
points for me either.

932
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,659
No, but there would be one race less
where I, or anyone else here,

933
01:03:55,660 --> 01:03:57,959
- could catch you.
- James is right.

934
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:00,029
This is just tactics!

935
01:04:00,030 --> 01:04:02,630
Maybe he's just frightened.

936
01:04:03,300 --> 01:04:05,500
Which asshole said this?

937
01:04:10,610 --> 01:04:12,979
Yes, of course, I'm frightened,

938
01:04:12,980 --> 01:04:14,410
and so are you.

939
01:04:16,010 --> 01:04:18,049
I accept every time
I get in my car

940
01:04:18,050 --> 01:04:21,289
there's 20% chance I could
die, and I can live with it,

941
01:04:21,290 --> 01:04:23,389
but not one percent more.

942
01:04:23,390 --> 01:04:26,159
And today, with the
rain, the risk is more.

943
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:29,259
I suppose that all depends on
how good you are in the rain.

944
01:04:29,260 --> 01:04:31,199
I have the track record here.

945
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,129
I'm the only person in history
to do the ring in under 7 Min.,

946
01:04:34,130 --> 01:04:37,660
so, actually, it's to my
advantage to race here today.

947
01:04:38,170 --> 01:04:40,600
Because I'm quicker
than all of you.

948
01:04:42,140 --> 01:04:45,339
- Come on.
- Fine. Then let's race.

949
01:04:45,340 --> 01:04:46,330
Yeah!

950
01:04:47,110 --> 01:04:49,409
- Niki, let's race.
- Gentlemen, please.

951
01:04:49,410 --> 01:04:51,680
Why are we here, Niki? Come on.

952
01:04:56,150 --> 01:04:59,650
Well, all those in favor
of cancelling the race.

953
01:05:09,730 --> 01:05:12,260
All those in favor of racing.

954
01:05:18,210 --> 01:05:20,300
Gentlemen, the race is on.

955
01:05:26,450 --> 01:05:29,350
- Ridiculous.
- What a waste of time.

956
01:05:29,990 --> 01:05:31,719
You know, Niki,
every now and then

957
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:34,210
it helps if people like you.

958
01:05:49,310 --> 01:05:51,679
<i>In places the track is
still dangerously wet,</i>

959
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,340
<i>but following a drivers meeting,
a decision has been finally taken.</i>

960
01:06:02,620 --> 01:06:04,490
<i>1 minute to go.</i>

961
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,200
Jochen's going on slicks.
You wanna change?

962
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,999
- Is Niki gonna change?
- No.

963
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,340
Then we stay on wets too.

964
01:06:29,710 --> 01:06:32,440
- Niki, okay?
- I'm good.

965
01:06:33,650 --> 01:06:35,880
All right, fire her up.

966
01:06:50,070 --> 01:06:53,269
<i>This season's fight for
the Formula 1 World Championship</i>

967
01:06:53,270 --> 01:06:56,309
<i>has so far been the
story of two men.</i>

968
01:06:56,310 --> 01:07:00,139
<i>Thus far it's been going pretty
much the way of Niki Lauda.</i>

969
01:07:00,140 --> 01:07:02,709
<i>But James Hunt has
qualified fastest here.</i>

970
01:07:02,710 --> 01:07:05,349
<i>He is on pole position for
the German Grand Prix</i>

971
01:07:05,350 --> 01:07:08,610
<i>with Niki Lauda alongside
in the blood-red Ferrari.</i>

972
01:07:10,650 --> 01:07:12,189
<i>It's a long race.</i>

973
01:07:12,190 --> 01:07:14,189
<i>If the track starts to dry out,</i>

974
01:07:14,190 --> 01:07:17,720
<i>the wet-weather tyres will
no longer be as quick.</i>

975
01:07:38,250 --> 01:07:40,119
<i>Niki Lauda and James Hunt,</i>

976
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,219
<i>side by side on the
front of the grid,</i>

977
01:07:42,220 --> 01:07:44,620
<i>go away absolutely as one!</i>

978
01:07:58,670 --> 01:08:00,739
<i>Lauda very aggressive
on Hunt there,</i>

979
01:08:00,740 --> 01:08:03,370
<i>forcing the McLaren
onto the grass.</i>

980
01:08:07,140 --> 01:08:10,749
<i>Lauda has the lead up the moment now!
He leads into the first corner!</i>

981
01:08:10,750 --> 01:08:12,940
<i>Hunt is in second place!</i>

982
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:20,089
<i>Mass storming past Hunt!</i>

983
01:08:20,090 --> 01:08:23,550
<i>He made the right choice to go
with the dry-weather tyres.</i>

984
01:08:24,330 --> 01:08:26,429
<i>Mass passing Lauda now!</i>

985
01:08:26,430 --> 01:08:30,469
<i>Jochen Mass, in the number
12 McLaren, takes the lead!</i>

986
01:08:30,470 --> 01:08:33,199
<i>Jochen Mass, the clear
leader, with everybody else</i>

987
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:35,369
<i>making the decision
to change tyres</i>

988
01:08:35,370 --> 01:08:37,109
<i>after just one lap of this race.</i>

989
01:08:37,110 --> 01:08:38,970
Come on, let's go!

990
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:51,089
See? I told you to go on slicks.
You should've taken my advice.

991
01:08:51,090 --> 01:08:53,319
Fuck off. Where's Niki?

992
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,450
Behind you. He made
the same mistake.

993
01:09:08,310 --> 01:09:09,290
Come on!

994
01:09:12,740 --> 01:09:15,370
Come on! What's going on?

995
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:19,479
<i>The tyre-changing frenzy caused
a huge reshuffling of the pack,</i>

996
01:09:19,480 --> 01:09:22,320
<i>- with Mass in the lead now.
- You're clear. Go!</i>

997
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,350
Lauda urging his
mechanics to hurry.

998
01:09:30,190 --> 01:09:32,960
It's a disaster! Come on!

999
01:09:43,910 --> 01:09:45,570
What's going on, you assholes?

1000
01:10:09,030 --> 01:10:11,699
<i>This race has gone
wrong for him so far.</i>

1001
01:10:11,700 --> 01:10:13,639
<i>His championship
rival, James Hunt,</i>

1002
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:15,660
<i>is a long way up the road.</i>

1003
01:10:26,020 --> 01:10:28,349
<i>Lauda passing car after car.
He's just going past.</i>

1004
01:10:28,350 --> 01:10:30,620
<i>Mario Andretti's Lotus there.</i>

1005
01:11:17,570 --> 01:11:18,540
Niki!

1006
01:11:24,340 --> 01:11:25,670
Get me out!

1007
01:11:25,940 --> 01:11:26,910
Help me!

1008
01:11:29,610 --> 01:11:31,519
<i>Several cars are involved.</i>

1009
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:33,920
<i>Looks like it might be
one of the Ferraris.</i>

1010
01:11:41,060 --> 01:11:43,390
- Come this way!
- Come on, come on!

1011
01:11:55,670 --> 01:11:57,070
Keep trying

1012
01:12:04,250 --> 01:12:06,380
- Come this way.
- Okay.

1013
01:13:44,350 --> 01:13:47,219
<i>The flood, which swept down Big
Thompson Canyon in Colorado,</i>

1014
01:13:47,220 --> 01:13:49,649
<i>was the worst since
records began.</i>

1015
01:13:49,650 --> 01:13:52,419
<i>In Formula 1 today, victory
celebrations were muted</i>

1016
01:13:52,420 --> 01:13:54,629
<i>after a horrific accident
involving world champion.</i>

1017
01:13:54,630 --> 01:13:56,329
<i>Niki Lauda.</i>

1018
01:13:56,330 --> 01:13:58,359
<i>Due to safety concerns
before the race,</i>

1019
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:00,659
<i>the Austrian had said
he would not take part,</i>

1020
01:14:00,660 --> 01:14:02,630
<i>but in the end he did.</i>

1021
01:14:03,430 --> 01:14:06,039
<i>He was making up for lost time
when he went off the track,</i>

1022
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,369
<i>puncturing the
Ferrari's fuel tank.</i>

1023
01:14:08,370 --> 01:14:11,339
<i>Brett Lunger was unable to
avoid the flaming wreck</i>

1024
01:14:11,340 --> 01:14:14,279
<i>but was unhurt and joined with the other
drivers to rescue Lauda,</i>

1025
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:17,309
<i>who was taken to Manheim
Hospital with severe burns,</i>

1026
01:14:17,310 --> 01:14:20,949
<i>the incident reminding us again
of the dangers of Formula 1.</i>

1027
01:14:20,950 --> 01:14:23,049
<i>Niki Lauda was trapped
for almost a minute</i>

1028
01:14:23,050 --> 01:14:26,110
<i>in a searing inferno
of 800-plus degrees.</i>

1029
01:19:12,380 --> 01:19:14,739
- Morning, chaps.
- Hey, here's the man.

1030
01:19:14,740 --> 01:19:16,080
Looking good.

1031
01:19:19,650 --> 01:19:22,219
- What's going on?
- Jesus. It's Niki.

1032
01:19:22,220 --> 01:19:24,419
- What about him?
- He's here.

1033
01:19:24,420 --> 01:19:26,340
- What?
- He's racing.

1034
01:19:41,540 --> 01:19:42,510
Niki.

1035
01:19:49,580 --> 01:19:51,210
It's that bad, huh?

1036
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:53,250
No.

1037
01:19:54,580 --> 01:19:58,119
In hospital, I asked them
straight, no bullshit,

1038
01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:00,959
how bad my appearance would be.

1039
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:03,959
They said with time
it would be fine.

1040
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:05,290
But it won't.

1041
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:09,420
I can tell, seeing
your reaction.

1042
01:20:10,330 --> 01:20:12,199
I'll spend the rest of my life

1043
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:15,040
with a face that
frightens people.

1044
01:20:17,370 --> 01:20:20,739
You know, Niki, I tried to write
you a letter at the time,

1045
01:20:20,740 --> 01:20:22,230
to apologise.

1046
01:20:22,980 --> 01:20:25,649
The drivers' meeting in
Germany, before the race.

1047
01:20:25,650 --> 01:20:28,519
- I swayed the room.
- Yes, you did.

1048
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:31,289
That race should never
have gone ahead.

1049
01:20:31,290 --> 01:20:33,080
No, it shouldn't.

1050
01:20:33,190 --> 01:20:37,089
So in many ways I feel
responsible for what happened...

1051
01:20:37,090 --> 01:20:38,360
You were.

1052
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:41,390
But, trust me,

1053
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,239
watching you win those races,

1054
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:47,730
while I was fighting
for my life...

1055
01:20:49,310 --> 01:20:52,970
you were equally responsible for
getting me back in the car.

1056
01:21:20,340 --> 01:21:22,960
- How are you feeling, Niki?
- Fine.

1057
01:21:23,470 --> 01:21:24,469
Niki,

1058
01:21:24,470 --> 01:21:28,039
can you confirm to us exactly
which procedures you had

1059
01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:30,049
and the expectations
for you recovery?

1060
01:21:30,050 --> 01:21:31,040
Sure.

1061
01:21:31,350 --> 01:21:33,349
I had a skin graft operation

1062
01:21:33,350 --> 01:21:36,250
where they put half my
right thigh in my face.

1063
01:21:37,660 --> 01:21:39,850
Now, it doesn't look too good,

1064
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,429
but one unexpected advantage is

1065
01:21:42,430 --> 01:21:44,589
it's impossible to perspire
through a skin graft,

1066
01:21:44,590 --> 01:21:46,999
so sweat will never run
into my eyes again,

1067
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,360
which is good for a driver.

1068
01:21:50,430 --> 01:21:52,469
When they heard about
your condition,

1069
01:21:52,470 --> 01:21:55,109
Ferrari immediately hired
a replacement driver,

1070
01:21:55,110 --> 01:21:56,409
Carlos Reutemann.

1071
01:21:56,410 --> 01:21:59,970
Yeah, before ever
reaching the hospital.

1072
01:22:00,440 --> 01:22:03,710
- Is Reutemann driving today too?
- Yes.

1073
01:22:04,180 --> 01:22:06,249
And keen to make an impression.

1074
01:22:06,250 --> 01:22:08,249
So let's see where
Mr. Reutemann finishes

1075
01:22:08,250 --> 01:22:10,580
and where I finish today.

1076
01:22:11,220 --> 01:22:13,219
James Hunt and McLaren
have caught up a lot

1077
01:22:13,220 --> 01:22:15,189
while you were away.

1078
01:22:15,190 --> 01:22:16,160
Yes.

1079
01:22:16,730 --> 01:22:16,890
So is there a question now.

1080
01:22:16,891 --> 01:22:18,529
So is there a question now

1081
01:22:18,530 --> 01:22:21,460
or are you just trying
to piss me off?

1082
01:22:23,100 --> 01:22:25,499
You still think you can win?

1083
01:22:25,500 --> 01:22:27,199
Yes, of course.

1084
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:28,690
I have the better car.

1085
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,039
And possibly I'm
the better driver.

1086
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:34,609
But he's a clever guy and
he's used his time well

1087
01:22:34,610 --> 01:22:36,109
while I was lying
half-dead in hospital

1088
01:22:36,110 --> 01:22:37,279
while I was lying
half-dead in hospital

1089
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:39,110
to win some points.

1090
01:22:40,350 --> 01:22:43,910
And what did your wife say
when she saw your face?

1091
01:22:49,230 --> 01:22:51,020
She said, "Sweetie",

1092
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:54,420
you don't need a face to drive.
You just need the right foot."

1093
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:57,400
I'm being serious.

1094
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:00,739
Do you really think your
marriage can survive

1095
01:23:00,740 --> 01:23:03,230
with the way you look now?

1096
01:23:05,070 --> 01:23:07,130
And I'm being serious too.

1097
01:23:07,780 --> 01:23:09,010
Fuck you.

1098
01:23:09,650 --> 01:23:11,580
Press conference over.

1099
01:23:16,350 --> 01:23:19,619
- That was hairy.
- You know how to get noticed about it. I'll tell you that

1100
01:23:19,620 --> 01:23:21,419
I thought it went
well, to be honest.

1101
01:23:21,420 --> 01:23:23,389
They don't like it when
it's not going their way.

1102
01:23:23,390 --> 01:23:25,029
That's the game.

1103
01:23:25,030 --> 01:23:27,159
- See you.
- See you later.

1104
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:29,369
- James, are you all right?
- Good, yeah.

1105
01:23:29,370 --> 01:23:32,069
I think I've got something for
you on that last question,

1106
01:23:32,070 --> 01:23:33,369
- about Niki.
- You heard about that?

1107
01:23:33,370 --> 01:23:34,810
- About Niki.
- You heard about that?

1108
01:23:36,270 --> 01:23:37,240
James?

1109
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,410
Please, James...

1110
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:51,350
Now go home to your wife
and ask her how you look.

1111
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:54,720
Prick.

1112
01:24:11,540 --> 01:24:14,079
<i>So Niki Lauda, just 42 days</i>

1113
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:16,679
<i>after his near-fatal
accident at Nuburgring,</i>

1114
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:18,349
<i>will race here today, at Monza</i>

1115
01:24:18,350 --> 01:24:22,180
<i>against all medical advice and
no doubt in incredible pain.</i>

1116
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:30,230
<i>Photographers, please,
clear the grid.</i>

1117
01:25:07,630 --> 01:25:09,850
Niki, it's time.

1118
01:25:11,270 --> 01:25:12,520
Okay?

1119
01:25:19,380 --> 01:25:21,310
<i>Please, clear the grid.</i>

1120
01:25:23,480 --> 01:25:25,450
<i>1 minute to go.</i>

1121
01:26:11,660 --> 01:26:14,599
<i>The returning Niki Lauda
seems overwhelmed.</i>

1122
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:17,460
<i>He's been overtaken
by car after car.</i>

1123
01:26:26,610 --> 01:26:29,910
<i>Lauda's off line. He runs
wide onto the grass.</i>

1124
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:36,989
<i>He wrestles it back
onto the track,</i>

1125
01:26:36,990 --> 01:26:39,280
<i>but that was a bad
moment for Niki.</i>

1126
01:26:43,250 --> 01:26:45,699
<i>Niki Lauda's the
reigning world champion,</i>

1127
01:26:45,700 --> 01:26:48,929
<i>but maybe in his current state
he's a danger out there,</i>

1128
01:26:48,930 --> 01:26:51,990
<i>to himself and to the
rest of the field.</i>

1129
01:26:53,470 --> 01:26:57,569
<i>And Stuck has collided with
Mario Andretti's Lotus!</i>

1130
01:26:57,570 --> 01:27:00,540
<i>Niki's boxed in! He's
got nowhere to go!</i>

1131
01:27:15,290 --> 01:27:17,489
<i>Niki Lauda's actually
making a move.</i>

1132
01:27:17,490 --> 01:27:19,620
<i>He's on Brambilla's tail.</i>

1133
01:27:22,130 --> 01:27:25,269
<i>He pulls out of the
slipstream to overtake.</i>

1134
01:27:25,270 --> 01:27:27,469
<i>Lauda's starting
to find the form</i>

1135
01:27:27,470 --> 01:27:30,300
<i>that early in this race
we believed he'd lost.</i>

1136
01:27:36,350 --> 01:27:39,049
<i>Lauda's now lapping
faster than Reutemann</i>

1137
01:27:39,050 --> 01:27:41,760
<i>and closing the gap ahead.</i>

1138
01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:46,689
<i>Lauda closing on
Carlos Reutemann,</i>

1139
01:27:46,690 --> 01:27:49,059
<i>the man called in to
be his replacement</i>

1140
01:27:49,060 --> 01:27:50,620
<i>in the Ferrari team.</i>

1141
01:27:59,180 --> 01:28:01,339
<i>And there's James
Hunt's McLaren,</i>

1142
01:28:01,340 --> 01:28:04,640
<i>smoking stationary by
the side of the road.</i>

1143
01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:10,340
<i>This is bad news for
Hunt's championship hopes.</i>

1144
01:28:15,020 --> 01:28:16,489
<i>It's Ronnie Peterson</i>

1145
01:28:16,490 --> 01:28:18,869
<i>who comes home the
winner here at Monza.</i>

1146
01:28:18,870 --> 01:28:22,050
<i>But all eyes are on the man who
finishes a brilliant fourth!</i>

1147
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:24,030
<i>Niki Lauda!</i>

1148
01:29:05,500 --> 01:29:08,039
<i>What a race, what a
man, what a season.</i>

1149
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:10,209
<i>With a 4th-place finish and
3 priceless points,</i>

1150
01:29:10,210 --> 01:29:12,309
<i>It means Niki Lauda is a
major step closer</i>

1151
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:15,110
<i>to retaining the
World Championship.</i>

1152
01:30:12,740 --> 01:30:16,509
<i>So the long, grueling and
incredibly dramatic season</i>

1153
01:30:16,510 --> 01:30:19,439
<i>comes down to this
final race in Japan,</i>

1154
01:30:19,440 --> 01:30:21,970
<i>in the shadow of Mount Fuji.</i>

1155
01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:25,409
<i>Niki Lauda goes into this
deciding race at Fuji</i>

1156
01:30:25,410 --> 01:30:27,719
<i>just 3 points
ahead of James Hunt,</i>

1157
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:30,719
<i>Hunt knowing he must beat the
Austrian fair and square</i>

1158
01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:32,770
<i>to take the title.</i>

1159
01:30:33,460 --> 01:30:37,059
James, do you think you can
cope with the pressure?

1160
01:30:37,060 --> 01:30:39,429
Well, I've never really
understood what that means.

1161
01:30:39,430 --> 01:30:42,560
I love my job. I love competing.
I love racing.

1162
01:30:43,530 --> 01:30:45,769
Maybe you should ask Niki.
He's the World Champion.

1163
01:30:45,770 --> 01:30:47,399
He's got everything to lose.

1164
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:49,709
Mr. Lauda, are you
feeling pressure?

1165
01:30:49,710 --> 01:30:52,010
Do I look like I'm
feeling pressure?

1166
01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:55,479
I'm World Champion

1167
01:30:55,480 --> 01:30:58,549
and on the verge to become
World Champion again.

1168
01:30:58,550 --> 01:31:00,979
Hunt now has the
opportunity to win,

1169
01:31:00,980 --> 01:31:02,749
but it's not so easy
to become a champion.

1170
01:31:02,750 --> 01:31:05,480
You have to really believe
it to make it possible.

1171
01:31:05,790 --> 01:31:08,219
James, is there anything
you'd like to add?

1172
01:31:08,220 --> 01:31:10,619
If Niki is being tricky
and getting a kicky

1173
01:31:10,620 --> 01:31:13,010
out of playing mind games,

1174
01:31:13,060 --> 01:31:14,729
then fine, I'm flattered.

1175
01:31:14,730 --> 01:31:18,130
The fact is momentum is with me.
I've never felt better.

1176
01:31:18,500 --> 01:31:20,969
I fully expect the next press
conference we will have

1177
01:31:20,970 --> 01:31:22,600
will be with me as
World Champion.

1178
01:31:27,210 --> 01:31:29,709
<i>Intermittent heavy
rain has been forecast</i>

1179
01:31:29,710 --> 01:31:32,619
<i>here at Fuji today,
along with strong winds</i>

1180
01:31:32,620 --> 01:31:34,179
<i>and occasional fog</i>

1181
01:31:34,180 --> 01:31:36,450
<i>rolling in from the mountain.</i>

1182
01:31:38,220 --> 01:31:40,719
<i>And so with today's Japanese
Grand Prix to come,</i>

1183
01:31:40,720 --> 01:31:43,189
<i>Lauda's lead a
mere 3 points.</i>

1184
01:31:43,190 --> 01:31:45,059
<i>What a way to finish the season.</i>

1185
01:31:45,060 --> 01:31:46,459
<i>Hunt or Lauda?</i>

1186
01:31:46,460 --> 01:31:50,039
<i>Well, The final chapter will unfold when
we bring you extended coverage...</i>

1187
01:31:50,040 --> 01:31:51,399
They've got to cancel the race.

1188
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:52,769
It's lethal out there.

1189
01:31:52,770 --> 01:31:54,669
The race is going ahead.

1190
01:31:54,670 --> 01:31:57,169
Television rights have been
sold all around the world.

1191
01:31:57,170 --> 01:31:58,539
The showdown between
you and Niki

1192
01:31:58,540 --> 01:32:00,139
is all anyone wants to see.

1193
01:32:00,140 --> 01:32:03,249
<i>With heavy rain continuing
to fall here at Fuji,</i>

1194
01:32:03,250 --> 01:32:05,509
<i>a decision has
finally been made.</i>

1195
01:32:05,510 --> 01:32:09,360
<i>The 1976 Japanese Grand
Prix will go ahead.</i>

1196
01:32:10,090 --> 01:32:12,680
<i>All drivers to
your cars, please.</i>

1197
01:32:37,110 --> 01:32:39,050
<i>5 minutes to go.</i>

1198
01:33:21,420 --> 01:33:23,159
- All right?
- All right.

1199
01:33:23,160 --> 01:33:25,559
- Hold still.
- What the hell are you doing?

1200
01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:27,229
To let the condensation out.

1201
01:33:27,230 --> 01:33:30,099
- It'll also let the water in.
- Not if you're leading.

1202
01:33:30,100 --> 01:33:33,330
Trust me, this race is
all about the start.

1203
01:33:33,970 --> 01:33:36,600
- Need a hand here?
- Yeah, hold it, Teddy.

1204
01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:53,450
Okay, start the bastard.

1205
01:33:55,660 --> 01:33:57,220
Good luck, kid.

1206
01:33:59,500 --> 01:34:01,120
Good luck, James!

1207
01:34:39,440 --> 01:34:41,400
30 seconds to go.

1208
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:03,529
<i>Electric tension here at Fuji.</i>

1209
01:35:03,530 --> 01:35:05,999
<i>80,000 bedraggled race fans</i>

1210
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:09,129
<i>and the racing grudge
match of the decade.</i>

1211
01:35:09,130 --> 01:35:11,369
<i>And there's Mario Andretti
in pole position,</i>

1212
01:35:11,370 --> 01:35:13,430
<i>James Hunt alongside him.</i>

1213
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:16,739
<i>On row 2 of the grid,</i>

1214
01:35:16,740 --> 01:35:18,309
<i>there is Niki Lauda,</i>

1215
01:35:18,310 --> 01:35:21,139
<i>and on row 3 of the grid, Joe
Schecketer from South Africa</i>

1216
01:35:21,140 --> 01:35:22,609
<i>in the 6-wheel Tyrrell.</i>

1217
01:35:22,610 --> 01:35:25,640
<i>Behind him, the rest
of the 25-car field.</i>

1218
01:35:42,630 --> 01:35:45,329
<i>There's the flag and finally
the Japanese Grand Prix</i>

1219
01:35:45,330 --> 01:35:47,000
<i>is underway!</i>

1220
01:35:59,350 --> 01:36:01,949
<i>In this conditions it
must be almost impossible</i>

1221
01:36:01,950 --> 01:36:04,650
<i>to drive a 450-horsepower car!</i>

1222
01:36:31,550 --> 01:36:33,719
<i>And it's Andretti
who has the lead,</i>

1223
01:36:33,720 --> 01:36:35,149
<i>but Hunt is attacking.</i>

1224
01:36:35,150 --> 01:36:37,389
<i>Hunt's going round the
outside of Andretti!</i>

1225
01:36:37,390 --> 01:36:39,249
<i>Niki Lauda following
him through!</i>

1226
01:36:39,250 --> 01:36:42,220
<i>Hunt leads into the
first right-hander!</i>

1227
01:37:24,900 --> 01:37:28,069
<i>Hunt comes through to complete
his first lap leading the field.</i>

1228
01:37:28,070 --> 01:37:30,239
<i>At least he has clear
vision in front of him.</i>

1229
01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:33,170
<i>Niki Lauda behind him,
eating his spray.</i>

1230
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:53,699
<i>Lauda is slowing!</i>

1231
01:37:53,700 --> 01:37:57,560
<i>Niki Lauda is bringing the Ferrari no.
1 into the pit!</i>

1232
01:37:58,230 --> 01:38:01,039
<i>Some sort of problem,
we can't imagine what,</i>

1233
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:03,000
<i>so early in the race.</i>

1234
01:38:07,710 --> 01:38:09,140
What's wrong with the car?

1235
01:38:09,750 --> 01:38:11,650
What's wrong with the car?

1236
01:38:12,280 --> 01:38:14,419
Niki! What's wrong with the car?

1237
01:38:14,420 --> 01:38:16,650
Nothing. Car's perfect.

1238
01:38:20,990 --> 01:38:22,519
What are you doing?

1239
01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:23,629
I'm stopping

1240
01:38:23,630 --> 01:38:25,689
<i>His mechanics are asking
what the problem is.</i>

1241
01:38:25,690 --> 01:38:28,259
<i>But wait! Niki Lauda's
getting out of the car!</i>

1242
01:38:28,260 --> 01:38:30,029
<i>This is sensational!</i>

1243
01:38:30,030 --> 01:38:32,199
<i>The reigning World
Champion, Niki Lauda,</i>

1244
01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:33,969
<i>is out of this race.</i>

1245
01:38:33,970 --> 01:38:35,440
It's too dangerous.

1246
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:37,339
Niki, you want me to say

1247
01:38:37,340 --> 01:38:39,909
there was a problem with
the car, for the media?

1248
01:38:39,910 --> 01:38:40,880
No.

1249
01:38:42,010 --> 01:38:43,440
Tell them the truth.

1250
01:38:44,110 --> 01:38:46,009
<i>Now, what is happening?</i>

1251
01:38:46,010 --> 01:38:47,979
<i>They're talking to
the team manager.</i>

1252
01:38:47,980 --> 01:38:50,420
<i>Lauda explaining something.</i>

1253
01:39:05,100 --> 01:39:08,269
<i>With Lauda out, James Hunt
knows he has to finish</i>

1254
01:39:08,270 --> 01:39:12,309
<i>this race in third place or
higher to be World Champion.</i>

1255
01:39:12,310 --> 01:39:15,279
<i>But the job's not done
yet for James Hunt.</i>

1256
01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:17,079
<i>In these dreadful conditions,</i>

1257
01:39:17,080 --> 01:39:19,600
<i>he still has to go the distance.</i>

1258
01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:23,149
<i>15 laps to go here at Fuji.</i>

1259
01:39:23,150 --> 01:39:25,189
<i>James Hunt or Niki Lauda?</i>

1260
01:39:25,190 --> 01:39:28,259
<i>This extraordinary
season is not over yet.</i>

1261
01:39:28,260 --> 01:39:31,590
<i>In this treacherous final
round, can James Hunt hang on?</i>

1262
01:39:32,330 --> 01:39:35,559
<i>And the scoreboard tells a story.
Lap 58.</i>

1263
01:39:35,560 --> 01:39:37,360
<i>Hunt in the lead.</i>

1264
01:39:38,670 --> 01:39:41,260
Oh, God, his tyres,
they're blistering.

1265
01:39:42,170 --> 01:39:46,109
<i>Brambilla very close behind him,
closing on him all the time now.</i>

1266
01:39:46,110 --> 01:39:49,439
<i>And he's trying to drive
inside James Hunt.</i>

1267
01:39:49,440 --> 01:39:52,409
<i>Hunt cuts across the
orange March nose.</i>

1268
01:39:52,410 --> 01:39:54,449
<i>Hunt not having that at all.
And he's spinning.</i>

1269
01:39:54,450 --> 01:39:58,219
<i>He missed Hunt but almost took
James Hunt out of the race</i>

1270
01:39:58,220 --> 01:40:00,259
<i>and out of the world
championship.</i>

1271
01:40:00,260 --> 01:40:03,620
<i>Now we find Mario Andretti
closing on James Hunt.</i>

1272
01:40:08,060 --> 01:40:10,229
<i>Mario Andretti's
going past Hunt!</i>

1273
01:40:10,230 --> 01:40:13,360
<i>Hunt is slowing. James Hunt
seems to have a problem.</i>

1274
01:40:18,610 --> 01:40:20,379
<i>Despite this wet conditions,</i>

1275
01:40:20,380 --> 01:40:22,869
<i>these wet-weather tyres
do wear extremely fast.</i>

1276
01:40:22,870 --> 01:40:25,029
Hunt's tyres, they're gone.

1277
01:40:25,030 --> 01:40:28,410
<i>Hunt nursing his car
back to the pit stop.</i>

1278
01:40:30,390 --> 01:40:33,359
<i>That back marker's
going past Hunt.</i>

1279
01:40:44,530 --> 01:40:47,999
<i>Look at that left front tyre,
right front tyre, sorry.</i>

1280
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:51,269
<i>No tread on it at all. And
the other one is flat.</i>

1281
01:40:51,270 --> 01:40:52,740
Let's go! Let's go!

1282
01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:00,349
Okay? When did you
break your gear lever?

1283
01:41:00,350 --> 01:41:02,149
9 or 10 laps ago.

1284
01:41:02,150 --> 01:41:04,519
- Alistair, we need to lift it!
- Come on!

1285
01:41:04,520 --> 01:41:06,259
- At the front!
- Let's go!

1286
01:41:06,260 --> 01:41:09,359
<i>Regazzoni's Ferrari and
Jacques Lafitte in the Ligier</i>

1287
01:41:09,360 --> 01:41:11,089
<i>have gone ahead.</i>

1288
01:41:11,090 --> 01:41:12,490
Come on, hurry!

1289
01:41:13,030 --> 01:41:16,160
You did it. You're going
to be World Champion!

1290
01:41:16,670 --> 01:41:17,689
Not yet.

1291
01:41:17,690 --> 01:41:21,269
<i>A few laps ago, James Hunt was
looking like champion elect.</i>

1292
01:41:21,270 --> 01:41:24,170
<i>Now it looks as though it's
all gone wrong for him.</i>

1293
01:41:25,570 --> 01:41:27,009
- James.
- Come on!

1294
01:41:27,010 --> 01:41:28,139
- Listen.
- What?

1295
01:41:28,140 --> 01:41:30,509
Just go easy out there.

1296
01:41:30,510 --> 01:41:34,419
- What are you saying?
- I'm saying look after yourself.

1297
01:41:34,420 --> 01:41:36,649
We want you back in one piece.

1298
01:41:36,650 --> 01:41:40,019
You're too far back. There's too
many drivers in front of you.

1299
01:41:40,020 --> 01:41:43,420
- There's always next year.
- So that's it? It's over?

1300
01:41:44,430 --> 01:41:45,390
Clear!

1301
01:41:45,990 --> 01:41:46,960
James!

1302
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:50,590
- Clear!
- Fuck it!

1303
01:41:54,970 --> 01:41:57,769
<i>James Hunt rejoins the
race in 6th position.</i>

1304
01:41:57,770 --> 01:42:02,010
<i>There are 4 laps to go.
Surely no way back for the Brit.</i>

1305
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:23,299
Concentrate, Superstar.

1306
01:42:23,300 --> 01:42:25,299
<i>Just brings it back
under control!</i>

1307
01:42:25,300 --> 01:42:28,270
<i>Sliding the McLaren on
the very edge there.</i>

1308
01:42:30,170 --> 01:42:33,039
<i>Hunt's M23 twitching this
way and that under braking.</i>

1309
01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:34,409
<i>And he almost loses
it right there.</i>

1310
01:42:34,410 --> 01:42:36,009
<i>Hunt on the tail
of Jacques Lafitte</i>

1311
01:42:36,010 --> 01:42:37,570
<i>in the blue Ligier.</i>

1312
01:42:45,190 --> 01:42:46,950
Don't do it, James.

1313
01:42:49,460 --> 01:42:51,229
<i>He's inches away
from the pit wall!</i>

1314
01:42:51,230 --> 01:42:53,350
<i>He's inches away
from the Ligier!</i>

1315
01:43:02,300 --> 01:43:04,509
<i>James Hunt has made
up another place,</i>

1316
01:43:04,510 --> 01:43:07,670
<i>but it's not enough and
this race is running out.</i>

1317
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:19,050
<i>And Watson has spun!
Watson has spun!</i>

1318
01:43:22,390 --> 01:43:25,429
<i>Hunt manages to weave his
way between the back marker</i>

1319
01:43:25,430 --> 01:43:27,699
<i>and the stationary Penske.</i>

1320
01:43:27,700 --> 01:43:30,329
<i>He's catching Regazzoni,
but in these conditions,</i>

1321
01:43:30,330 --> 01:43:33,960
<i>it's one thing to catch up,
quite another to overtake.</i>

1322
01:43:37,110 --> 01:43:39,669
<i>He's alongside Clay Regazzoni!
This could be</i>

1323
01:43:39,670 --> 01:43:41,610
<i>the world championship!</i>

1324
01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:51,010
<i>He's got him!</i>

1325
01:44:06,440 --> 01:44:08,299
<i>Hunt crosses the line.</i>

1326
01:44:08,300 --> 01:44:11,409
<i>He needed to finish third
to score enough points</i>

1327
01:44:11,410 --> 01:44:13,009
<i>to be World Champion,</i>

1328
01:44:13,010 --> 01:44:15,339
<i>and in the confusion
here we're being told</i>

1329
01:44:15,340 --> 01:44:17,079
<i>that he may have finished 5th.</i>

1330
01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:18,210
He finished 5th?

1331
01:44:19,450 --> 01:44:22,049
<i>Our lap charts show
Hunt in 3rd place.</i>

1332
01:44:22,050 --> 01:44:23,919
<i>Well, if the scoreboard's right,</i>

1333
01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:26,559
<i>it means he's just missed
out on the championship.</i>

1334
01:44:26,560 --> 01:44:30,180
<i>Crushing defeat for Hunt
after such a heroic drive.</i>

1335
01:44:34,160 --> 01:44:36,429
<i>I can see the race
stewards conferring,</i>

1336
01:44:36,430 --> 01:44:38,699
<i>examining the
official lap charts.</i>

1337
01:44:38,700 --> 01:44:41,930
<i>We're just going to have to
wait for their verdict here.</i>

1338
01:44:58,590 --> 01:45:00,059
Let's get you out
of here, buddy.

1339
01:45:00,060 --> 01:45:02,319
I'm sorry, Teddy. I'm sorry I thought
I could make up the ground.

1340
01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:04,429
Sorry? What are you talking about?
You did it!

1341
01:45:04,430 --> 01:45:07,329
- Did what?
- Jesus! You crazy bastard!

1342
01:45:07,330 --> 01:45:09,969
You came 3rd! You
got the points!

1343
01:45:09,970 --> 01:45:11,599
You're champion of the world!

1344
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:14,639
<i>James Hunt is now
officially confirmed</i>

1345
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:17,239
<i>as finishing 3rd
here in Japan,</i>

1346
01:45:17,240 --> 01:45:20,500
<i>and that means he is
champion of the world.</i>

1347
01:45:22,210 --> 01:45:24,909
<i>Our new World
Champion, James Hunt,</i>

1348
01:45:24,910 --> 01:45:27,440
<i>by just one single point.</i>

1349
01:45:33,260 --> 01:45:35,160
<i>Did we really win?</i>

1350
01:45:38,230 --> 01:45:40,390
World bloody Champion!

1351
01:45:49,170 --> 01:45:53,040
- James what are you going to do now?
- I shall be getting drunk.

1352
01:45:54,010 --> 01:45:56,480
It's wonderful, absolute dream.

1353
01:46:42,990 --> 01:46:46,629
<i>And our special guest, Formula
1 champion, James Hunt.</i>

1354
01:47:11,090 --> 01:47:13,110
Wait. Come on.

1355
01:47:15,660 --> 01:47:19,020
There's no better motor
oil than Havoline.

1356
01:47:29,900 --> 01:47:33,209
- Yes, me too. Where we going?
- Anywhere I want to go.

1357
01:47:33,210 --> 01:47:35,679
And I don't have to
hijack it, either.

1358
01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:37,949
As long as I pay for it.

1359
01:47:37,950 --> 01:47:40,380
I'm starving. Let's
get some food.

1360
01:47:51,060 --> 01:47:53,029
- Where are you going?
- You lot go ahead.

1361
01:47:53,030 --> 01:47:54,930
I won't be a minute.

1362
01:47:56,460 --> 01:47:57,430
Niki!

1363
01:48:00,440 --> 01:48:01,930
Good to see you!

1364
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:08,209
I heard you were spending
more and more time

1365
01:48:08,210 --> 01:48:10,449
- in one of these.
- Do you fly?

1366
01:48:10,450 --> 01:48:11,449
No.

1367
01:48:11,450 --> 01:48:14,179
- I don't think they'd insure me.
- You should try.

1368
01:48:14,180 --> 01:48:15,419
It's good for discipline.

1369
01:48:15,420 --> 01:48:16,989
You have to stay
within the rules,

1370
01:48:16,990 --> 01:48:18,689
stick to regulation,
suppress the ego.

1371
01:48:18,690 --> 01:48:20,619
It helps with the racing.

1372
01:48:20,620 --> 01:48:23,359
And there I was thinking you
were about to wax lyrical

1373
01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:26,920
- about the romance of flight.
- No, that's all bullshit.

1374
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:30,269
So what brings you here?

1375
01:48:30,270 --> 01:48:32,029
A friend's wedding.

1376
01:48:32,030 --> 01:48:33,369
At least I think
it was a wedding.

1377
01:48:33,370 --> 01:48:34,599
Might have been a
birthday or something.

1378
01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:36,269
It's all a bit of a blur.

1379
01:48:36,270 --> 01:48:39,169
- Have you been at Fiorano?
- Pre-season testing.

1380
01:48:39,170 --> 01:48:41,139
- You're relentless.
- Thank you.

1381
01:48:41,140 --> 01:48:43,079
I'm not sure that was
meant as a compliment.

1382
01:48:43,080 --> 01:48:45,949
When do you start testing?
Next week?

1383
01:48:45,950 --> 01:48:47,649
No. What, are you nuts?

1384
01:48:47,650 --> 01:48:49,279
I didn't just win the
biggest thing of my life

1385
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:51,590
so I could get right
back to work.

1386
01:48:51,990 --> 01:48:54,230
Why? You have to.

1387
01:48:54,690 --> 01:48:56,619
To prove to all the people

1388
01:48:56,620 --> 01:48:58,459
who will always say you
just won it because...

1389
01:48:58,460 --> 01:49:01,900
Because of what? Because
of your accident?

1390
01:49:03,030 --> 01:49:05,969
Niki, is that other
people or is that you?

1391
01:49:05,970 --> 01:49:07,369
I won, okay?

1392
01:49:07,370 --> 01:49:09,169
On the all-important day
when it came down to it,

1393
01:49:09,170 --> 01:49:12,109
we raced on equal terms,
equally good cars.

1394
01:49:12,110 --> 01:49:14,339
And I put my life on the
line and I saw it through.

1395
01:49:14,340 --> 01:49:16,379
- And you call that winning?
- Yes.

1396
01:49:16,380 --> 01:49:19,009
The risks were totally
unacceptable.

1397
01:49:19,010 --> 01:49:20,679
You were prepared to die.

1398
01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:23,219
- To me, that's losing.
- Yes, I was. I admit it.

1399
01:49:23,220 --> 01:49:26,049
I was prepared to die
to beat you that day.

1400
01:49:26,050 --> 01:49:28,059
And that's the effect
you have on me.

1401
01:49:28,060 --> 01:49:31,120
You'd pushed me that far.
And it felt great!

1402
01:49:31,630 --> 01:49:34,259
I mean, hell, isn't that
what we're in this for?

1403
01:49:34,260 --> 01:49:37,060
To stare death in the
face and to cheat it?

1404
01:49:37,970 --> 01:49:40,069
Come on, there's
nobility in that.

1405
01:49:40,070 --> 01:49:41,970
It's like being knights.

1406
01:49:42,270 --> 01:49:44,669
You English, you're
such assholes.

1407
01:49:44,670 --> 01:49:46,939
You know my position.

1408
01:49:46,940 --> 01:49:48,179
20% risk.

1409
01:49:48,180 --> 01:49:50,949
No, Niki, don't bring the
percentages into this.

1410
01:49:50,950 --> 01:49:52,409
Don't be a pro.

1411
01:49:52,410 --> 01:49:55,149
The minute you do that, you
kill what's good about this.

1412
01:49:55,150 --> 01:49:56,910
You kill the sport.

1413
01:49:59,950 --> 01:50:00,920
James!

1414
01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:02,910
James!

1415
01:50:06,590 --> 01:50:08,120
I've got to go.

1416
01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:11,660
Careful in this thing.

1417
01:50:12,630 --> 01:50:13,690
James.

1418
01:50:19,310 --> 01:50:22,900
In hospital, the toughest part
of my treatment was the vacuum.

1419
01:50:23,380 --> 01:50:25,449
Pumping the shit
out of my lungs.

1420
01:50:25,450 --> 01:50:26,970
It was hell.

1421
01:50:27,420 --> 01:50:30,019
And while doing it, I was
watching television.

1422
01:50:30,020 --> 01:50:32,949
- You winning all my points.
- Your points?

1423
01:50:32,950 --> 01:50:35,959
"That bastard, Hunt," I'd would say.
"I hate that guy."

1424
01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:37,729
And one day, the
doctor came and said,

1425
01:50:37,730 --> 01:50:40,359
"Mr. Lauda, may I offer
a piece of advice?"

1426
01:50:40,360 --> 01:50:42,599
"Stop thinking of it as a
curse to have been given

1427
01:50:42,600 --> 01:50:44,199
an enemy in life."

1428
01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:46,199
"It can be blessing too."

1429
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:47,769
"A wise man gets more
from his enemies

1430
01:50:47,770 --> 01:50:49,669
than a fool from his friends."

1431
01:50:49,670 --> 01:50:52,440
And you know what? He was right.

1432
01:50:54,340 --> 01:50:55,679
Now look at us.

1433
01:50:55,680 --> 01:50:58,379
We were both a pair
of kids when we met.

1434
01:50:58,380 --> 01:51:00,649
Hot-headed jerks in Formula 3.

1435
01:51:00,650 --> 01:51:03,740
Disowned by our families.
Headed nowhere.

1436
01:51:04,420 --> 01:51:07,289
And now we're both
champions of the world.

1437
01:51:07,290 --> 01:51:08,980
It was not bad.

1438
01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:11,389
No, it's not bad.

1439
01:51:11,390 --> 01:51:13,559
So don't let me down now.

1440
01:51:13,560 --> 01:51:15,459
I need you busting my balls.

1441
01:51:15,460 --> 01:51:18,460
- Get back to work.
- I will, Niki, I will.

1442
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:21,369
But I intend to
enjoy myself first.

1443
01:51:21,370 --> 01:51:23,939
Some of life needs
to be for pleasure.

1444
01:51:23,940 --> 01:51:27,139
What's the point of having a
million cups, medals and planes

1445
01:51:27,140 --> 01:51:29,610
if you don't have any fun?

1446
01:51:30,080 --> 01:51:32,340
How is that winning?

1447
01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:36,149
- James!
- We're gonna leave without you!

1448
01:51:36,150 --> 01:51:37,140
James!

1449
01:51:41,290 --> 01:51:43,450
I'll see you on race day, champ.

1450
01:51:44,490 --> 01:51:45,650
You will...

1451
01:51:46,090 --> 01:51:47,060
champ.

1452
01:51:49,260 --> 01:51:51,469
You look good, Niki.

1453
01:51:51,470 --> 01:51:55,330
The only guy to have his face burnt
to be have an improvement.

1454
01:52:01,240 --> 01:52:03,940
<i>Of course he didn't
listen to me.</i>

1455
01:52:04,210 --> 01:52:07,449
<i>For James, one world
title was enough.</i>

1456
01:52:07,450 --> 01:52:10,440
<i>He had proved what
he needed to prove,</i>

1457
01:52:10,720 --> 01:52:14,280
<i>to himself and anyone
who doubted him.</i>

1458
01:52:15,190 --> 01:52:18,059
<i>And 2 years later he retired.</i>

1459
01:52:18,060 --> 01:52:21,260
<i>When I saw him next in
London 7 years later,</i>

1460
01:52:21,600 --> 01:52:23,699
<i>me as champion again,</i>

1461
01:52:23,700 --> 01:52:25,429
<i>him as broadcaster,</i>

1462
01:52:25,430 --> 01:52:29,340
<i>he was barefoot on a
bicycle, with a flat tyre.</i>

1463
01:52:29,940 --> 01:52:33,070
<i>Still living each
day like his last.</i>

1464
01:52:34,240 --> 01:52:38,080
<i>When I heard he'd died aged
45, of a heart attack,</i>

1465
01:52:38,380 --> 01:52:40,350
<i>I wasn't surprised.</i>

1466
01:52:40,950 --> 01:52:42,970
<i>I was just sad.</i>

1467
01:52:43,480 --> 01:52:46,450
<i>People always think
of us as rivals,</i>

1468
01:52:46,990 --> 01:52:50,190
<i>but he was among the
very few I liked</i>

1469
01:52:51,030 --> 01:52:53,930
<i>and even fewer that I respected.</i>

1470
01:52:57,100 --> 01:53:00,190
<i>He remains the only
person I envied.</i>
