Reviews

As Asif Kapadia's gripping and extremely moving 2010 documentary Senna proved , cinema audiences have a thirst for the larger-than-life characters that inhabit the Formula One track. The sport itself is frightfully dull (although I'm sure plenty will disagree with that) , but the sportsmen willing to lay down their life for a kick and a trophy are infinitely more fascinating , especially in the days of lax safety rules. The sport nowadays is little more than advertising on wheels , but when the likes of James Hunt and Niki Lauda battled it out on the track , epic rivalries were created , and no matter how talented these men were at driving these "coffins on wheels" , every race could spell out death.
