Ferrari and Niki Lauda seem clearly on top,

(Niki) No. As long as I'm back

calling me a rat because I look like one?

Okay, but if you want my advice, I'd let this one go.

- This is Formula 3. - What's that?

that could rub off on you.

(announcer) At Crystal Palace today, James Hunt's on pole,

I'm sorry, Teddy. I'm sorry. I thought I could make up the ground.

Let's hope his pockets are deep. They'll need to be.

(speaking Italian)

Anyway, look at the way he's driving, like an old man.

beating Niki Lauda's Ferrari to pole position

but it is the sight and sound of Formula 1 nobody likes to see.

and the expectations for your recovery?

Yes, a very good one, very expensive.

Lauda goes ahead on his own.

No sponsorship, Superstar. I hope you approve.

(reporters clamouring)

(speaking German)

-(grunts) - You can see why Hunt's fellow drivers

I'm delighted to say

We want you back in one piece.

that their car is now fully legal and faster than ever.

(man) With the oil coolers back, the wing brackets need to be changed, too.

Might have been a birthday or something. It's all a bit of a blur. (chuckles)

(mechanic) We already tried.

Luca, don't you think it's time to tell them?

Nine or ten laps ago.

Fine. How is it at the back?

(sighs) Fortunately, a few hands have already gone up, good people.

We're in the closing laps of this race here at Watkins Glen.

And Stuck has collided with Mario Andretti's Lotus!

(speaking Italian)

(spectators cheering)

(Niki) In my home town, Vienna,

(commentator) Smoke pouring from the engine of that McLaren!

(James) ls Niki gonna change? (Caldwell) No.

Look, I'll do whatever you ask.

(Marlene) Not in a hurry, are you?

- How are you? - Good.

What a way to finish the season.

(announcer) ...drivers please bring them to the scrutineering bay now.

on the front row of the grid, go away absolutely as one.

I don't think they'd insure me.

in the hope of being talent-spotted to race in Formula 1.

- You're relentless. - Thank you.

Mass passing Lauda now!

- But when it's all of them... - Yes, I know, I'm terrible.

You're too far back. There's too many drivers in front of you.

to change tyres afterjust one lap of this race.

which means there's air in the system.

Why have you come here, James?

- Hold still. - What the hell are you doing?

- Hello? -(Peter) Hi, James.

who wins the race,

No. What, are you nuts?

No, you're not terrible.

(Caldwell) Coper-fucking-sucar. (Mayer) And we need a replacement.

and was willing to accept my terms.

To stare death in the face and to cheat it?

Which is why we are prepared to risk our lives for it.

-with Jochen Mass in the lead now. -(pitman) You're clear. Go!

I'd be happy to show you, if you like.

Nothing. Car's perfect.

He's coming in! Come on, let's go!

Right. Why's that?

(Suzy) Mostly positive, in terms of appearance.

Is that what you were doing when I came in?

You know, my parents always wanted me to be a doctor...

- Get your hands off me. - Hey, come on.

Some of life needs to be for pleasure.

Niki, you want me to say there was a problem with the car, for the media?

- You're just a charger and a party guy. -(laughs)

I can tell, seeing your reaction.

by just two hundredths of a second.

There must be a moisturiser or an eye shadow somewhere

but that was a bad moment for Niki.

(Mayer) Let's get you out of there, buddy.

Careful in this thing.

What about him?

They're absolutely side by side, wheel to wheel.

So, let's see where Mr Reutemann finishes and where I finish today.

(TV commentator speaking German)

But the fact is, momentum is with me. I've never felt better.

Sign the release form. I'll let them know you're here.

but it's not enough,
