Simon Taylor

The story of one of the most recognisable names in British sport, tracing his meteoric rise from teenage racing prodigy to a global superstar.

Anos 1970. O mundo sexy e glamouroso da Fórmula 1 é mobilizado principalmente pela rivalidade existente entre os pilotos Niki Lauda e James Hunt. Eles possuíam características bem distintas: enquanto Lauda era metódico e brilhante, Hunt adotava um estilo mais despojado, típico de um playboy. A disputa entre os dois chegou ao seu auge em 1976, quando ambos correram vários riscos dentro do cockpit para que pudessem se sagrar campeão mundial de Fórmula 1.

James Hunt has never been equalled. Could swashbuckling Hunt catch the scientific Lauda? Could Niki overcome an appalling crash to come back from the dead and fight James all the way to the last race of the season? This powerful story captures the heart of the 1970s - told through unseen footage and exclusive interviews with the people who were really there - the team managers, families, journalists and friends who were in the front row of the season that changed Formula 1 forever.
