I can't recall seeing a mention of this documentary here or on the first page, and I even used the search function so figured might as well make a mention of it. I just sat down to watch this last night. I had it DVR'ed from I think NBC Sports over the weekend.
If you've seen Senna/Rush, definitely watch this. It goes well beyond those films and honestly, out of the three this might be my favorite. The whole film is geared towards the safety (or lack thereof) aspect of F1 and it starts out with Martin Brundle's 1996 crash at the Australian Grand Prix which... holy fuck. I had never seen that before, and that is one helluva way to start a film. I'd almost hesitate to call this a documentary as it definitely is written with a storyline.
Oh, and the racing footage. So, so, so much vintage racing footage, going back to the very beginning and even pre F1/FIA. Tons of interviews, heck they even somehow managed to interview Bernie, plus Mosley, Ickxx, and Lord Hesketh. And it's not just about the most famous drivers, they spend time on drivers like Williamson and Cevert as well.
