F1 is probably the most thrilling sport in the world today as it involves a lot of speed, talent and mind conditioning. The pressure is intense as well as the risk of being burn alive or crash to a fatal end. And there has been a number of movies dedicated to this sport and their heroes, but the greatest story in the Formula 1 history is probably the legendary rivalry of Nikki Lauda and James Hunt in 1976.
