If you dont know who Niki is, he's an Austrian former Formula One driver who was the three-time F1 World Champion, winning in 1975, 1977 and 1984.

I am WAY behind on this season so I sat down yesterday and watched Singapore and Suzuka, they were commenting before the Singapore race on how thin the drivers are now. The cars, even as recently as a decade ago, were a hassle to drive and required a lot of upper body strength. I drove an old Formula Ford and it was a ton of fun, and appropriately no power anything. But they weigh so little there's really no point, but at speed it's still a lot to handle at times. I saw TON of people run out of talent and stamina pretty frequently. I can only imagine what it is like in the cockpit of one of those old heavy F1 cars. It would be amazing and frightening!

A fantastic film!

Though sightly bias, but that's fine with me.
