It may not really be worth five stars, but in your country’s traditional self-playing schedule in December, it’s amazing that you can see this class of visual system hit the throttle on the big screen of the movie theater. The duo mode uses the vertical middle finger, not to fight the strange F1 rivals, and the two people have maintained their personalities from the beginning to the end without (being) changed, accepting the arrangement of fate but cherishing each other deep in their hearts.

After watching for more than half an hour, I suddenly had a urgency, but I had to endure the movie until the end of the movie. The lines are very particular, the characterization is very successful, and the audience is full of enthusiasm. If a man has never made a desperate move, he is basically in vain. It's just that the two male protagonists in the film have superior backgrounds. Even if it is desperate to give it a go, usually people with superior genetics are relatively better at it...

James Hunt: I have a theory why women like racing drivers... It's not because they respect what we do, driving round and round in circles. Mostly they think that's pathetic and they're probably right. It's our closeness to death. You see the closer you are to death the more alive you feel, the more alive you are. They can see that in you they feel that in you. My name is James Hunt. My father is a stock broker, my sister is a barrister, and my brother is an accountant, and I... well I do this. It's a wonderful way to live, it's the only way to drive, as if each day is your last.
