In the 1960s and early '70s it was common for Grand Prix drivers to die while racing, often watched on television by millions. Featuring many famous drivers, this film tells the story of how Grand Prix drivers rebelled against the powers that be, took control of their destiny and became no longer at the mercy of track and car design failure.
An amazing BBC doc. One of those documentaries that had me thinking about it days after Id seen it. Truly shocking how F1 drivers were expected to die and how many died in the 60's. Very sad to hear how Chapman of Lotus was so blasé in his experiments and how the races would just continue. Not sure how you'd get your hands on the documentary, but it was on TV last night and its on you tube. After watching Senna I became interested in F1 and this has made me even more interested. The interviews with Jackie Stewart are great and he comes across as a true British hero in the face of greedy and selfish F1 corporation Watch it asap!
