The Hunt/Lord Hesketh relationship is well told here. Even after Hesketh had to

Loved James Hunt ("Hunt the Shunt"). His partnership with Lord Hesketh made
racing fun for a while.
And Nicki Lauda was one of the all time greats.
The trailers are amazing, don't doubt the movie is too.
Thanks for the mini-review, Paul.
Cheers,
Frank
