Was disappointed compared to the Senna film!

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2014)

Watched this film last night and was a bit disappointed compared to the Senna film. There was too much romance and I didn't think Chris Hemsworth made a good James Hunt. We watched a recent documentary about the relationship between Lauda and Hunt that was much more interesting and I believe (having met them both personally) closer to the truth. It would have better with more original footage and covered the relationship with the team more at an engineering level. Having said that the intensity and 110% commitment from F1 drivers cam across very well and the dismissal of the risk was shown well. The scenes of Lauda's recovery were quite shocking as I am sure they really were. Still I give it 7 out of 10.
