A história do filme conta da época de ouro da categoria, e como ela reagiu ao crescente número de acidentes graves e fatais nos anos 70, e como procurou reverter o cenário. A filmagem, dos mesmos produtores do ganhador do Oscar “Undefeated” e narrada pelo ator alemão Michael Fassbender, usa imagens originais de corridas da época.
1979 FIA Formula One World Championship Season Review
Himself
1979 saw Carlos Reutemann move to partner Mario Andretti at Lotus as Jody Scheckter took his seat at Ferrari. Wolf filled the gap left by Scheckter with James Hunt, and McLaren gave John Watson a drive in place of Hunt. The type 79 ‘wing car’ had offered Lotus a great advantage in aerodynamic grip during the previous season. But for this year, many of the teams had incorporated the technology into their designs. Over the first two races Ligier appeared to have made up the most ground with Jacques Laffite taking the victories. In round 3, Ferrari laid down the team’s intentions, giving the new 312T4 model its successful debut.
