| Summary |
The 1976 season saw the greatest duel in Formula 1 history, Austrian Niki Lauda versus Britain's James Hunt, two drivers in an epic sixteen-race battle across the globe for the title, ultimately decided by a single point. Fame, wealth, drugs, sex, and the rest of globetrotting 1970s Formula 1 racing are encompassed in the Lauda vs. Hunt duel. At the '76 German Grand Prix, Lauda nearly died in a fiery crash, only to emerge six weeks later--with severe burns on his face and head making him nearly unrecognizable--to pursue his rivalry with Hunt. It all came down to the last race, a rain-soaked affair in Japan, where Hunt won the championship by the slimmest possible margin. |
