Rush (2013) Edit

A 450 horsepower car.

A British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch

A butler serving oysters and caviar in the pits.

A decision has finally been made.

A decision has finally been taken.

A friend's wedding. At least I think it was a wedding.

A guaranteed place in the team,

A sad end to a wonderful battle.

A well adjusted knight in shining armour?

A wise man gets more from his enemies than a fool from his friends.

About the romance of flight.

Actually, credit where it's due, we got the idea from Niki.

Actually, it's the deadline for securing sponsorship

After a desperate battle with Niki Lauda.

After a horrific accident involving world champion Niki Lauda.

After that disastrous retirement in Brazil.

Against all medical advice and no doubt in incredible pain.

Aged 45, of a heart attack,

Ah. You only slept with me because you thought I was famous.

Alexander doesn't know what he's talking about.

Alexander. He says you're a bad boy.

All right, Superstar?

All those in favour of racing.

Along with strong winds and occasional fog

And a paid contract on equal terms with Regazzoni for two years.

And again he runs wide. Again the Hesketh...

And Alexander, Lord Hesketh, the team's owner.

And an owner who had run out of money

And anyone who doubted him.

And are prepared to die trying.

And better at setting up the car.

And dangerous track in the world.

And each year two of us die.

And even fewer that I respected.

And for going all night and all day and all night again in bed.

And having my car back at its best again.

And he almost loses it right there.

And he's trying to drive inside James Hunt.

And Hunt is in front of Lauda!

And Hunt's got a problem!

And I can live with it,

And I fully expect the next press conference we will have

And I put my life on the line, and I saw it through.

And I...

And I'm being serious, too.

And I've found a way to be single and have an ex wife

And in the confusion here, we're being told that he may have finished fifth.

And it feels like he adores me.

And it's Andretti who has the lead, but Hunt is attacking.

And it's very simple. Hunt. It rhymes with...

And James Hunt and McLaren are struggling.

And James Hunt is out!

And latest reports indicate

And Mr Burton has found a way of feeling young again,

And now we're both champions of the world.

And on Row 3 of the grid, Jody Scheckter from South Africa

And overnight turned it into a big, huge, stinking turd.

And possibly I'm the better driver.

And racing people know me for two things.

And Richard Burton, will he able to give you more?

And score his first points

And since the economics of F1

And Stuck has collided with Mario Andretti's Lotus!

And talk all this bullshit with all these assholes.

And tell him to put it on the mantelpiece

And that is the day you will wish you had him in your car.

And that means he is champion of the world.

And the engine needs to be 20 kilo lighter.

And the expectations for your recovery?

And the stationary Penske.

And then one day the doctor came and said,

And there I was thinking you were about to wax lyrical

And this race is running out.

And today, at Watkins Glen,

And today, with the rain, it's anything but perfect,

And toy.

And two years later he retired.

And was willing to accept my terms.

And what about your soul, your heart?

And what did your wife say when she saw your face?

And what does that mean?

And who knows? If it had been just the drinking

And you know what? He was right.

And, yeah, he will drive you all mad,

Another season like that and I'll move you up to the big time.

Any mounting or fixing plates, strip it out also.

Anyone seen Suzy?

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

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

Anywhere I want to go.

Anywhere with a train station?

Apparently, took out a loan and bought his way in

Are not so significantly different to the economics of Formula 2,

Are you and Suzy getting back together?

Arsehole.

Arseholes?

As far as points is concerned.

As if each day is your last.

As long as I pay for it.

As they go up the hill into Druids Corner.

ASA fucking P.

Asshole!

At least he has clear vision in front of him.

At least he has clear vision in front of him.

At least there's something behind the facade.

Beating Niki Lauda's Ferrari to pole position

Because I'm asking you to.

Because of what? Because of your accident?

Because to be a champion, it takes more than just being quick.

Behind him, the rest of the 25 car field.

Being driven round 170 miles per hour.

Between Niki Lauda in the red Ferrari

Big balls.

Brett Lunger was unable to avoid the flaming wreck,

But a really good ass, which can feel everything in a car.

But according to the team,

But all eyes are on the man who finishes a brilliant fourth,

But even more than that,

But following a drivers' meeting,

But following a drivers' meeting,

But he was among the very few I liked,

But he's a clever guy, and he's used his time well

But I intend to enjoy myself first.

But if that doesn't bother you...

But if you drive it, you make my life, Niki, eh?

But in terms of raw talent and right stuff,

But in the end he did.

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

But it's Lauda who takes the flag here at Kyalami.

But it's not enough,

But it's not so easy to become a champion.

But Lauda's coming back again now. Lauda once more sneaks up the inside.

But maybe in his current state he's a danger out there,

But Niki Lauda is right on his tail.

But not one per cent more.

But on that tenth day, James will be unbeatable.

But other people saw it differently,

But since they're right about most things,

But that was a bad moment for Niki.

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

But the job's not done yet for James Hunt.

But they don't want me doing that any more.

But they have made quite an impact.

But they're very intelligent and they have a strong survival instinct.

But this was a good race for you, no, Niki?

But wait! Niki Lauda's getting out of the car!

But was unhurt and joined with the other drivers to rescue Lauda,

But you complained and your team of lawyers leaned on the authorities.

But, in these conditions, it's one thing to catch up,

But, trust me...

But, well, that all went terribly wrong

Butjustice being done re the disqualification in Spain helps,

By just two hundredths of a second.

Calling me a rat because I look like one?

Can you give me a lift to the nearest town,

Careful in this thing.

Clay's a senior figure in Formula 1. You're just a rookie.

Closing on him all the time now.

Come on, Clay. I'm sorry.

Come on, hurry!

Come on, Niki. You're in a Ferrari. I'm in a Hesketh.

Come on, there's nobility in that. It's... It's like being knights.

Come on!

Come on! What's going on?

Comes down to this final race in Japan

Complete with 185 corners and bends.

Crushing defeat for Hunt after such a heroic drive.

Despite these wet conditions,

Did he buy his way in there, too?

Didn't want to ruin your day.

Do you have any idea of the significance of that date?

Do you know what the date is today?

Do you mean the one that you spun out of and finished facing the other way?

Do you really think your marriage can survive with the way you look now?

Don't go to men who are willing to kill themselves driving in circles

Don't wait too long. You don't want him to do what Lauda just did.

Don't worry. Something will turn up.

Doubt that will help in the meantime.

Due to safety concerns before the race,

Equal terms, the way it was in Formula 3,

Er, the identity of the driver we don't currently have at the moment,

Erm...

Everybody off the grid now. (thunder rumbling)

Everyone has.

Examining the official lap charts.

Except we are, or were.

Ferrari and Niki Lauda seem clearly on top,

Ferrari immediately hired a replacement driver, Carlos Reutemann.

Fifteen laps to go here at Fuji.

Fine, thanks.

Fine. How is it at the back?

Five minutes to go.

For being a little crazy on the track,

For James,

For the first race in the 1976 Formula 1 season,

For the forthcoming Formula 1 season.

For the season completely, and now you're right back in it.

Forcing the McLaren onto the grass.

Forget it. Make your own friends.

Formula 1 champion James Hunt.

Formula 1 has claimed another driver.

From James Hunt all season long.

Front and rear wing.

Fuck off. Where's Niki?

Gentlemen, the race is on.

Gentlemen. Well, gentlemen, please be quiet.

Get married with the next nice girl I meet.

Get me out! Help me!

Gloves, please.

Go on.

God gave me an okay mind,

God help anyone who wants more.

God knows I walked into this with my eyes open.

God, it's so flimsy for something that costs so much.

Goes wide at the exit.

Going on behind me towards the track,

Good sign, actually. Means he's stoked.

Good to see you.

Gut.

Have gone ahead.

He had proved

He is on pole position for the German Grand Prix,

He made a mistake, went into the corner too fast.

He made the right choice to go with the dry weather tyres.

He only wanted to show me his pride and joy.

He remains the only person I envied.

He says that Niki's a genius setting up the cars.

He was barefoot on a bicycle with a flat tyre.

He was making up for lost time when he went off the track,

He wrestles it back onto the track,

He'll be back shortly.

He'll be back shortly.

He's a good driver, but an immortal fuck, apparently.

He's alongside Clay Regazzoni. This could be the world championship.

He's been here since 5:00 am, walking the track.

He's being overtaken by car after car.

He's catching Regazzoni

He's got him!

He's inches away from the Ligier.

He's just been signed by Ferrari.

He's just going past Mario Andretti's Lotus there.

He's never won a bloody thing.

He's Niki Lauda, Formula 1 driver, and he just signed with Ferrari.

He's the real thing, Teddy.

He's the World Champion. He's got everything to lose.

Headed nowhere.

Heading into Portier, second gear, clip the apex,

Hello, I think the racetrack telephoned ahead that I was coming.

Here at Crystal Palace,

Hey, asshole.

Hey, Niki.

Him as broadcaster,

His championship rival, James Hunt, is a long way up the road.

His championship year is not going well.

His engine is smoking.

His wife.

Hmm. How can you tell?

Hmm. What do you think?

Hot headed jerks in Formula 3.

How about you? Have you been at Fiorano?

How bad my appearance would be.

How do you do?

How do you do?

How is that winning?

How much does she weigh?

How's that working out for you, by the way?

Hunt and his McLaren have certainly given us the answer.

Hunt crosses the line.

Hunt cuts across the orange March nose.

Hunt cuts across the orange March nose.

Hunt has really closed the gap on Lauda as they head into Druids.

Hunt has the pit lane pole position,

Hunt is in second place.

Hunt is now ahead once more.

Hunt is past again.

Hunt is slowing. James Hunt seems to have a problem.

Hunt knowing he must beat the Austrian fair and square to take the title.

Hunt leads into the first right hander.

Hunt now has the opportunity to win,

Hunt or Lauda?

Hunt pulls across to the left.

Hunt pushing off the marshal.

Hunt will be determined to make up for that mistake.

Hunt. James Hunt.

Hunt. James Hunt.

Hunt's going round the outside of Andretti.

Hunt's in Lauda's slipstream.

Hunt's not having that at all. And he's spinning.

Hunt's still in the lead,

Hunt's tyres, they've gone.

I accept, every time I get in my car, there is 20 per cent chance I could die,

I am World Champion, and on the verge to become World Champion again.

I brought you along today because you seem like a lonely kind of guy.

I called this meeting because, as all you drivers know,

I can beat this guy, trust me.

I can see the race stewards conferring,

I can tell, seeing your reaction.

I can't watch this.

I decided to risk everything and take out a loan myself.

I didn't just win the biggest thing of my life

I don't know about you, but that's not an act I'd like to follow.

I don't know. Time to start killing pheasants?

I don't mind it.

I don't think they'd insure me.

I found a Formula 1 team with an okay car

I go to bed early, I look after myself, look after my car.

I had a skin graft operation,

I have the track record here.

I have.

I heard you got married.

I just hoped I'd married someone

I know what you're going to say, that it's none of my business.

I love competing. I love racing.

I mean, (stammers) what about Lotus?

I mean, hell, isn't that what we're in this for?

I mean, I have a hot head, an inability to tolerate discipline.

I need a drive, Pete. I need you to find me a drive.

I suppose that all depends on how good you are in the rain.

I thought if I introduced you to some nice people,

I thought, Bloody hell, he's right.

I wanna make sure this thing is legal, no doubts.

I was just sad.

I was prepared to die to beat you that day.

I was. I'm not any more.

I wasn't surprised.

I will spend the rest of my life with a face that frightens people.

I won, okay? On the all important day, when it came down to it,

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

I'll put on a tie, I'll smile for sponsors,

I'll see you on race day, champ.

I'm delighted to say

I'm going to give it to my father

I'm not sure that was meant as a compliment.

I'm saying it's over, Superstar.

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

I'm talking about the race in Spain that I won.

I've been told to avoid you.

I've been waiting for this my whole life.

I've come to get you back.

I've made something of a miscalculation.

I've never been to a Grand Prix before.

I've no idea. He looks like a rat, doesn't he?

If ever there was a doubt about

If I had more talent and could earn better money with something else,

If it's the track manager you're taking on your date tonight...

If Niki is being tricky and getting a kicky out of playing mind games...

If the race is cancelled, none of us get our race fees.

If the track starts to dry out,

If you call a friendly disagreement with another driver an accident.

If you can, I can.

If you don't have any fun?

In a searing inferno of 800 plus degrees.

In Formula 1 it is known as the Graveyard.

In Formula 1 today, victory celebrations were muted

In hospital I asked them straight, no bullshit,

In Maranello Monday morning.

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

In the last lap of the race.

In the shadow of Mount Fuji.

In the six wheel Tyrrell.

In these conditions, it must be almost impossible to drive

In these dreadful conditions, he still has to go the distance.

In third place or higher to be World Champion.

In this treacherous final round, can James Hunt hang on?

In this year's Formula 1 season,

Intermittent heavy rain has been forecast here at Fuji today,

Is that from him?

Is what happened on 1st August, 1976,

It can be a blessing, too.

It has been decided

It is clearly a grave incident indeed.

It just increases the percentage of risk.

It means that Niki Lauda is a major step closer

It might even have worked.

It needs to be 500,

It turns out, not like the lower divisions at all.

It understeers like crazy and the weight distribution is a disaster.

It was a nasty blow. Done with a bloody crowbar.

It was not bad, huh?

It was only a matter of time.

It's a disaster! Come on!

It's a lower division,

It's amazing, all these facilities and you make a piece of crap like this.

It's fine. Just got a little problem with an Austrian rat

It's fucking undriveable!

It's gonna be an ignominious defeat for Niki Lauda.

It's gonna be victory for Hunt.

It's his fault.

It's impossible to perspire through a skin graft,

It's my honour, Niki, please.

It's none of your business.

It's none of your business.

It's not because they respect what we do,

It's our closeness to death.

It's passion, love.

It's Peter. Something's up at McLaren.

It's quite another to overtake.

It's quite another to overtake.

It's terrible. Drives like a pig.

It's that bad, huh?

It's the only car out there as quick as the Ferrari.

It's the only way to drive.

It's. .. It's the Kraut.

J1 Been another blue day without you, girl

J1 Been another sad summer song

J1 I been thinking about you, girl, all night long

Ja.

Ja.

James Hunt alongside him.

James Hunt and McLaren have caught up a lot while you were away.

James Hunt comes home second

James Hunt has made up another place,

James Hunt is determined to make amends

James Hunt or Niki Lauda ?

James Hunt or Niki Lauda ?

James is right. This is just tactics.

James Simon Wallis Hunt. Remember it, my little Jerry friend.

James, do you think you can cope with the pressure?

James, is there anything you'd like to add?

James, look, if there's a problem with the car we'll find it...

James, you're 50 points behind Lauda in the championship.

James! James!

James.

James. (groaning)

Jesus.

Jesus.

Jesus. Get me in there, Pete.

Jo Siffert, Roger Williamson

Jochen Mass the clear leader,

Jochen Mass, in the number 12 McLaren, takes the lead!

Jochen's going on slicks. You wanna change?

Just give me the drive.

Just go easy out there.

Just keep them closed.

Just make it narrower. I don't care how.

Just plain white with the flags. Ooh!

Just three points ahead of James Hunt.

Lap 58. Hunt in the lead.

Lauda closing on Carlos Reutemann,

Lauda gets through on the inside.

Lauda has the lead at the moment.

Lauda is slowing.

Lauda is through! He's in the lead!

Lauda passing car after car.

Lauda urging his mechanics to hurry.

Lauda was unable to restart

Lauda's not leaving any gap.

Lauda's now lapping faster than Reutemann and closing the gap ahead.

Lauda's starting to find the form

Leading the field.

Let me introduce you to our number one driver,

Let's go! Let's go!

Let's see where we are in five races' time.

Level playing field now, my ratty little friend.

Light brake, stay in second, looking for a good exit.

Like you said, condoms and cigarettes, vulgar, right?

Listen, I think I've got something for you

Look at that left front tyre... Right front tyre, sorry.

Look at the tyre marks.

Look, I'll do whatever you ask.

Looking for late apex, gentle with the bar.

Looking good.

Lotus 59.

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

Mario Andretti's going past Hunt!

Marlene.

Mass passing Lauda now!

Maybe the fact the car is so good has something to do with me.

Me as champion again,

Men love cars.

Mi scusi... Tu sei Niki Lauda?

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

Morning, everyone.

Mostly they think that's pathetic, and they're probably right.

Mr Lauda, may I offer a piece of advice?

My family is famous for one thing business.

My father is a stockbroker,

My father, too.

My name is James Hunt.

My name is Niki Lauda,

My What?

Negative only in terms of character.

Never better, patron.

Never mind the bloody wets. We're still quick.

Next time I'll have you.

Niki Lauda following him through.

Niki Lauda goes into

Niki Lauda is under real pressure from James Hunt

Niki Lauda was trapped for almost a minute

Niki Lauda, behind him, eating his spray.

Niki Lauda. Here for pre season testing. BRM?

Niki Lauda's the reigning world champion,

Niki, can you confirm to us exactly which procedures you've had

Niki, is that other people, or is that you?

Niki, what's wrong with the car?

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

Niki.

Niki's boxed in. He's got nowhere to go.

Nine days out of ten you'll be pulling your hair out,

Nine or ten laps ago.

No danger of that.

No sponsorship, Superstar. I hope you approve.

No vulgar logos for cigarettes or condoms.

No wonder she left him.

No, but there would be one race less

No, he's going on wets.

No, I didn't.

No, it shouldn't.

No, it's not bad.

No, no, no, Niki, don't bring the percentages into this. Don't be a pro.

No, that's all bullshit.

No, you're not terrible.

No?

No. What, are you nuts?

Not all of which I'm prepared to discuss here

Not me.

Not normal men, for sure.

Not planning on being there for long.

Not yet, but I will.

Not yet.

Now it looks as though it's all gone wrong for him.

Now we find Mario Andretti closing on James Hunt.

Now we've had to rebuild the car, and it's become a monster.

Now, he needed to finish third to score enough points to be World Champion,

Now, it doesn't look too good, but one unexpected advantage is

Now, those of you with experience know the ring needs perfect conditions

Nursie, men love women,

Nursie, this is Bubbles Horsley, team manager.

Of the crowd, the first Briton to win

Oh, Christ.

Oh, don't do it, James.

Oh, God, his tyres, they're blistering.

Oh, you still haven't.

Oh! There's contact!

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

Okay, now put him in my car, and he'll go round two seconds faster.

Okay, thank you. Good night.

Okay?

Okay? When did you break your gear lever?

On one condition, though. It's a piece of shit. It's dog shit.

On Row 2 of the grid,

On that last question, about Niki.

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

On the very edge there.

Once more Lauda tries to sneak up the inside.

One minute to go.

One world title was enough.

Only what she asked me to do.

Or the dope or the infidelity or the moods,

Our new World Champion, James Hunt, by just one single point.

Over the rest of the field. How have you achieved this advantage?

People who are desperate to make a mark

Personally, I've always been a great believer in getting there on the day,

Pleasure. Do you wanna see the car?

Pre season testing.

Prick.

Probably have to sell this place.

Pumping the shit out of my lungs. It was hell.

Puncturing the Ferrari's fuel tank.

Put Regazzoni in the car. See what happens.

Putting my foot down and playing chicken with everyone else.

Quicker, quicker, quicker!

Rats are ugly, sure, and nobody likes them,

Rebels, lunatics, dreamers.

Reports have been coming out of the McLaren camp all week

Rhymes with boy, if you ask me.

Right now, with zero incentive or reward,

Right, and will he go for that gap when no one else will?

Right.

Right. Because I'm a serious guy.

Right. Why's that?

Rolling in from the mountain.

Row 2 is Mike Beuttler and Dave Morgan,

Say anything, just get me in that room.

Say the right things.

Screw you.

See? I told you to go on slicks. You should have taken my advice.

Settle you down, help with the racing.

Several cars are involved. Looks like it might be one of the Ferraris.

Sex. Breakfast of champions.

She said, Sweetie, you don't need a face to drive.

She's no beauty, but goes like the clappers.

She's supposed to be here today.

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

Sixth in France, fourth in Britain and third in Holland.

Sliding the McLaren

Smoking stationary by the side of the road.

So evenly matched. Fantastic battle between these two great drivers.

So I called this meeting to take a vote to cancel the race.

So I could get right back to work.

So in any normal area of life I'd be... or I am, a total liability.

So is there a question now, or are you just trying to piss me off?

So says the nobody who had to pay for his own drive.

So when they heard I wanted to race cars for a living,

So, actually, it's to my advantage to race here today.

So, don't let me down now. I need you busting my balls.

So, I can see why this suits you just fine.

So, in many ways, I feel responsible for what happened, and...

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

So, thank you for this and for acknowledging that.

So, what brings you here?

So, when do we start?

Some of life needs to be for pleasure.

Some sort of problem, we can't imagine what, so early in the race.

Still living each day like his last.

Stop thinking of it as a curse to have been given an enemy in life.

Suppress the ego. It helps with the racing.

Sure.

Sure.

Surrounded by high octane fuel in here.

Suzy. Friend of Alex's.

Take a drink on me, James.

Talk to me, James. Don't make a stranger of me.

Television rights have been sold all around the world.

Tell me what?

Tell them the truth.

Ten minutes.

Than Havoline.

Thank you, Niki. I mightjust have two.

Thank you.

Thank you. I need it more than you do.

Thank you. Niki Lauda.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks to your impeccable survival instincts.

That back marker's going past Hunt.

That bastard Hunt, I would say. I hate that guy.

That could rub off on you.

That it would possess us like this, in our imaginations, in our dreams.

That lump weighs 190K on its own.

That move was total suicide. What if I hadn't braked?

That needs your vapid mush to flog it.

That race should never have gone ahead.

That the quickest car happens to be a legal car.

That the winner of the Guild of Motoring Writers Award Driver of the Year...

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

That there has been a serious accident in qualifying.

That weekend I went skiing.

That whatever it was between us went deeper.

That wind you can feel is me breathing down your neck.

That, early in this race, we believed he'd lost.

That's going to need a couple of stitches. It's a nasty cut.

That's information I will share with you under certain conditions only.

That's true, you leave without your fee, but you might leave with your life.

That's what teammates are for.

That's what's going wrong.

That's why everybody likes you.

The 1976 Japanese Grand Prix will go ahead.

The chequered flag is waiting for Lauda and for Ferrari.

The drivers prepare for...

The drivers' meeting in Germany, before the race.

The economics, Formula 1, realities thereof.

The first is my rivalry with him.

The incident reminding us again of the dangers of Formula 1.

The leaders have spun out! Lauda's facing the wrong way!

The Lotus goes for the inside. It's an aggressive move from Hunt.

The man called in to be his replacement in the Ferrari team.

The minute you do that, you kill what's good about this.

The minute you don't, ciao, ciao.

The more alive you are. And they can see that in you.

The most dangerous circuit on the season calendar.

The new me is very professional. Early to bed, early to rise.

The Nurburgring is the most stupid, barbaric, outdated

The only guy to have his face burnt off and it be an improvement.

The only thing I've got going for me is I'm quick in a car.

The race is going ahead.

The reigning World Champion, Niki Lauda, is out of this race.

The showdown between you and Niki is all anyone wants to see.

The tyre changing frenzy has caused a huge reshuffling of the pack,

The weather conditions are far from ideal,

The wet weather tyres will no longer be as quick.

Their places on the grid will be left empty.

Their shirts are open to here.

Then we stay on wets, too.

There are four laps left to go. Surely no way back for the Brit now.

There are no lengths to which I will not go. I mean it.

There is no better driver in the world.

There is no relief in sight.

There must be a moisturiser or an eye shadow somewhere

There. What do you say?

There's every reason to expect sharp words in the pits.

There's no comfort, no protection, nothing.

There's the flag, and finally the Japanese Grand Prix is underway!

These wet weather tyres do wear extremely fast.

They come down the hill.

They don't fear you. Whereas compare that to me.

They don't like it when it's not going their way.

They feel that in you.

They felt your reputation preceded you.

They had a few things to say.

They said with time it would be fine.

They think it would be good for me.

They want me to stop messing around, settle down,

They want my body like a temple and my mind like a monk.

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

They're leaving the pack far behind.

They're reporting exclusively to you, as per contract.

They've got to cancel the race. It's lethal out there.

This car is as good as new. Relax.

This deciding race at Fuji

This extraordinary season is not over yet.

This is bad news for Hunt's championship hopes.

This is sensational!

This race has gone wrong for him so far.

Those pioneers who invented the automobile,

To all intents and purposes, this thing's a bomb on wheels.

To be even remotely acceptable in terms of risk.

To change tyres afterjust one lap of this race.

To confirm his championship challenge at last

To himself and to the rest of the field.

To let the condensation out.

To me this is perfectly normal,

To prove to all the people who will always say you just won it because...

To retaining the World Championship.

To stare death in the face and to cheat it?

Trauma trolley, please.

Trust me, this race is all about the start.

Try saying that and tell me you're not jealous.

Twenty per cent risk.

Twitching this way and that under braking.

Uh!

Up through third, fourth, fifth...

Wait for it.

Wait. Come on.

Was the worst since records began.

Watching you win those races while I was fighting for my life...

We all thought you'd been in an accident.

We might as well be doing it on the big roulette table in Formula 1.

We raced on equal terms, equally good cars.

We replaced the entire exhaust system.

We want you back in one piece.

We were just drivers busting each other's balls.

We will, of course, have more information for you

We, er...didn't wanna tell you before the race.

We'll see in Spain.

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

We're just going to have to wait for their verdict here.

We're not in a hurry. I'm not being paid.

We've taken a great car, a great piece of engineering,

Welcome to the legendary Nurburgring.

Well, all those in favour of cancelling the race.

Well, as of now, if you want me to stay, we rip up the contract.

Well, go on, then. Chop chop.

Well, how the hell did he do that? He's a nobody.

Well, I do this.

Well, I've never really understood what that means. I love my job.

Well, if the scoreboard's right,

Well, maybe that's because you're always at home,

Well, so? (stammers) We aren't looking for sponsorship.

Well, the final chapter will unfold when we bring you extended coverage...

Well, the old man took Regazzoni back and he insisted on it, apparently.
