Spanning over seven years, from 1970 to 1977, the film captures their career and personal life, which includes; numerous F1 races across the globe, their marriages and a crash that has leaves Niki with a burnt face.
The screenplay by Morgan (though it starts and ends with Niki's point of view) during its course, oscillates between the squeaky exaggerated dual narrations of both racers. Nevertheless, the dialogues between the two racers are crisp, curt and razor sharp sparkling with wit.
It is a treat to watch Lauda dismiss off Hunt saying: "I don't mind being called a rat. And rats are intelligent with great survival instincts."
On another instance, their repartee gets a chuckle when Hunt dismisses Lauda with, "You kill the sport with your calculated risk". To which Lauda replies, "You English, participate with the attitude, 'prepared to die', is actually being a loser".
