The film offers an amazing insight into the time when Grand Prix racing was at its peak; a time when drivers were gladiators, yet friends.

Formula 1 is not my hubby's favorite but we both enjoyed it. Polanski was given intimate access to Stewart s world for three days, both on the track and off.

Whilst there has been a good job done in restoring picture and sound this release is very misleading and disapointing in 1971 I was a mechanic and weekend crew chief for a small company that fielded a set of Formula Fords in Germany.

Vierzig Jahre später plaudern sie wieder über den Motorsport.

The racing business was very unsafe back then as Jackie himself notes in the movie, and it wasn't much better in the pits or the lesser Formula Classes.

Jackie has been a life-long hero for me and continues to be an excellent role-model.

Here, historical improvements in safety are highlighted. This doc is part profile of Jackie Stewart, at the peak of his dominance in racing, and part pure racing lesson given by the Great Scott himself. This review twists at one's sensibilities - it's suggested that left to itself, the industry might never have addressed the issues and made the simple improvements needed to save drivers' lives. In 1971, Motor Racing fan Roman Polanski spent a weekend with world champion driver Jackie Stewart as he attempted to win the Monaco Grand Prix.
