8/10

Inspirational, Educational, Insightful and Entertaining

I was fortunate enough to be in the audience at the live event cinema launch for this film and witness the subsequent Q&A session with a panel of experienced Formula 1 and motor racing dignitaries.

The atmosphere around the event was tremendous and it was clear to see that Lauda earned the respect and admiration of not only his peers but every subsequent generation of drivers and fans.

The film itself is superbly made and delivered with a passion and yet neutrality that perfectly compliments the subject matter. Lauda's amazing survival and comeback are put in context not only of the man but also the wider implications for the improvements in safety and changes to the sport it directly influenced.

I would highly recommend this as one of the best documentaries I've seen about Formula 1 and an inspiring and universal story.
