    May interest some of you. This is part 1 of 8, apparently, I'm curious to see what comes in the others.

    In case the units don't mean anything to some people, 3 MW is 4,000 hp - so this isn't a little electric motor!

    It was just listed as F1 Documentary. Crash is right in that it covered a lot of the loss in F1 starting with Jim Clark. It discussed the rise of safety for the drivers, innovations of the cars, and the growth of the industry.

    So it was 1. That's what I thought after reading your descriptions. I'm sure this says more about my own personal preferences than the movie itself, but it's my favorite F1 movie in decades, I liked 1 better than Rush or Senna.

    I agree better than either of those 2 movies. If you can catch it do so, it's a good one.

    I read that Nikki Lauda came down pretty hard on Lewis for his behavior at Monaco. Which is fine with me, Lewis needs a bit more maturity and if getting yelled at by one of the greats is what gets it done, then more more yelling, I says.

    I agree, but all Hamilton really needs to do is keep smiling. I expect he'll out qualify and win more races through the rest of the season anyway and that's the sort of revenge he'll most enjoy anyway.

    The reason Lauda got on him isn't just because of his attitude at Monaco, it just got worse there and very much in public. And I think Hamilton's attitude after the race was mostly because he went into it hoping to humiliate Rosberg in Monaco, specifically, after making a big deal about how Rosberg grew up in Monaco and had a privileged life there.

    Agreed. Nice to see a new mix on the podium. :Thumbsup:

    Still amazed that Seb didn't get collected on that last lap. A bit of luck finally going their way.

    Most excellent race. So happy to see Ricciardo win, he is the real deal!

    Man Vettel was lucky not to have been swept off the track by Massa. I feel pretty sorry for Perez.

    That was fun, had me on the edge of my couch most all race.

    Like to see more of that sort of action in F1.
