Watched Rush 5 times and told some racing stories derived from the protagonist

First of all, you need to know a racing background. Lauda ran F1 in the 70s and 80s, which is the previous era of Senna Prost. In that era, LOTUS installed the nose and tail for F1. At that time, F1 was not like it is now in sequence. The gearbox, using paddles to shift gears, was purely manual at that time, and there was no such complicated electronic assistance as it is now, no KERS, no DRS, no TR to tell you the strategy, at most one indicator board, so it was ancient The formula is very pure, which also means that the driving difficulty is very high. Those who have seen F1 early know that there was no HALO to protect the driver before, and there was no carbon fiber monocoque. Honda has had 1,000 horses, so the low fault tolerance rate leads to loss of control. It is easy to die later. The previous racers were really desperate and really brave.

Lauda’s first two championships were in 75 and 77, and Hunt in 1976. Hunter almost couldn’t make it to McLaren. McLaren’s original candidate was Jacky Ickx. As mentioned in the movie, Hunter was in a hurry to call. Find a driver seat. The old man Jacky Ickx is very legendary. He was a Ferrari in 70 years. He drove 280G in 1983 and won the Dakar championship. He participated in 15 Le Mans and won 6 championships. Unfortunately, he was only one F1 champion to make a Grand Slam. He was racing in Shanghai. I met the old man at the Porsche event, and he was very kind. At that time, the racers were basically like Alonso, Le Mans, F1, Indy 500, Targa Florio, Nürburgring 1,000 miles, Dakar all kinds of endurance races, really strong.

Back to Lauda, ​​tell stories that were not told in the movie. In 1978, Lauda went to Brabham. The boss was later F1 boss Bernie. That year Brabham’s BT46 was unique and named after the big fan. Gordon, who later designed the McLaren F1 (three-seater supercar). Derivatively, McLaren F1 won the Le Mans championship in 95, crushed the prototype car group, and also crushed the Ferrari F40LM.

Hunter is very strong and wavy, like Chamberlain, like this kind of bohemian, blond hair, my goodness. That's why, I also like Raikkonen. KIMI drove WRC back to F1 and drove Lotus with Renault engine, which is now the predecessor of Renault.

Last year, Zhou Guanyu drew the donut roadshow in Xintiandi, Shanghai, and drove his V8 back then (I was also on the scene).

At Monaco, KIMI wore Hunter's helmet to compete. Lauda said:'I must say, Kimi, you are more like James Hunt than James Hunt ever was.'

Lotus

I started to watch F1 in 2008, China Grass Hamilton, and Vettel drove Red Bull to monopolize four consecutive championships in 10-13. However, in 14 years, Schumacher retired from Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz originally wanted to choose Highfield to partner with Rosberg, but Lauda knew people and made a decision to create F1 history. As the non-executive CEO of the Mercedes-Benz team, he chose Hamilton. So there is the story of the next 6 crowns, and it is expected to tie Schumacher's record this year. I think 8 crowns are all right. I won't talk more about Hamilton. Let's take a look at his 07/08 and the 15th place in the German Grand Prix in the past few years, and this year's competition to know how wise Lauda was definitely.

This is a good movie. I will not analyze it from various professional perspectives. I subjectively say that this is the best racing movie (not compared with documentaries). The BGM has a profound impact and creates a good atmosphere. I like the movie Shooting two drivers focused on racing, they have no choice but to race their lives, because there is only one champion, and history usually only remembers the number one. Just like Ford VS Ferrari (this film review is also written on my homepage), if it weren't for this movie, many people don't know Ken Miles, most people only know McLaren and Shelby. If you want to compare the two movies, Rush must be better, but Ford Ferrari has a greater historical influence. After all, not a fan of the car also knows these two brands, but the stories of these two drivers are still rare.

The accident on the second lap of the Nurburgring in 1972 did not make Lauda back down, and 42 days later, he returned to the field. In that race, Monza ran fourth on behalf of Ferrari. He was definitely the bravest racer. (Nurburgring F1 was cancelled after that year, and the Nürburgring is still held every year 24 hours)

On May 20, 2019, Lauda passed away at the age of 70. He must have gone to Hunter.

Rush and Ford V Ferrari are just two famous stories in the history of human racing, telling the human desire for speed. Speed ​​is as addictive as MDMA.

Speed ​​is everything. Power is justice.

Racing is not just an entertainment and advertising project for the automotive industry in the tertiary industry. To a certain extent, racing has promoted the development of the automobile industry for hundreds of years, and healthy competition has catalyzed many new technologies, which I also mentioned in the film review of Fu V Law. The car is small and heavy but it is a great sport. (You can watch the NETFLIX documentary)

RIP Niki Lauda

    They are all wonderful on the track. As long as they are on the track, they lack appeal, especially the interaction between the two. Even the huge personality differences can hardly be sparked.

    Speed ​​and passion, please let the name out! Seeing blood boiled! ! ! Sports movies can also be so good-looking ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. In fact, it doesn’t matter who loves the car the most and who understands the car the most. Isn’t it enough to have a wonderful duel? Let’s also shoot the F1 live broadcast every year! PS, DANIEL is so sexy, and will never have any feelings for the big golden retriever and sunny type like Brother Hammer. . .

Rush quotes

  • 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.

  • Marlene Lauda: Who are you, should I know you?

    Giovanni: What, you don't know? He's Niki Lauda: Formula One driver and he just signed with Ferrari.

    Marlene Lauda: Him?

    GiovanniAndrea Italian Passenger: Yes!

    Marlene Lauda: Impossible.

    Giovanni: [Surprised] Why?

    Marlene Lauda: You know, Formula One drivers. They have long hair, are sexy and their shirts are open to here.

    Niki Lauda: Thank you.

    Marlene Lauda: Yes? Anyway, look at they way he's driving like an old man.

    Niki Lauda: There's no need to drive fast, it just increases the percentage of risk. We're not in a hurry, I'm not being paid. Right now, with zero incentive or reward, why would I drive fast?

    Marlene Lauda: [whispers] Because I'm asking you to.

    [long pause]

    Niki Lauda: [speaking in German] Do you always get what you want?

    Marlene Lauda: [speaking in German] Ja. Usually.
