Lots of fun. Barring the 1 in 8 chance of not finishing alive.

Yeah other than that.... The stats are always hard to judge, I thought it was one in seven, then I heard 20% just getting in the car, I've heard several, so I went to see what they say here.
Lauda has a very Lauda answer:
"A rhetorical statement rather than a precise statistical calculation"
According to Kevin McConway, Professor of Applied Statistics at the Open University, in the decade leading up to 1976 - the year in which the film is set - drivers had a 0.35% chance of dying each time they competed in a Grand Prix (including any practice and qualifying sessions).
But,
The odds rose to 4.4% across an F1 season and higher still if a driver raced in every race for five years. At that point his chance of death did indeed approach 20%, McConway says.

And sadly he ultimately became one of those 8 at watkins glen. Those cars were awesome, but death awaited.
