![]() After that we are given a whistle stop journey between 1973 (when Hunt came into F1) to 1975. The two definitely did race each other in F3, but I am not convinced as to whether this actual incident occurred. I'm not sure if this is further artistic licence. The two are first seen in competition in 1970 at a Formula 3 race at Crystal Palace (where they have a coming together) and sets the scene for the rivalry throughout the film. ![]() We are introduced to both characters through their own narrative and scenes that leave the watcher in no doubt as to their background and philosophy on life. ![]() This bit of artistic licence does not spoil the film and is reasonable in order to make the battle between the two for the F1 crown more intense. The two are depicted as enemies, but in actual fact they were good friends who trusted and respected each other on, as well as off-track. ![]() The film centres on the battle for the 1976 Formula 1 World Championship, and the rivalry between the Austrian "professor" Nikki Lauda and the British playboy James Hunt. The film is just over 2 hours long, but when it was over it seemed like I had been in the cinema about 30 minutes. ![]()
