Niki Lauda drove a car for sport, but crossed the line between life and death and fought back to even greater glory. Even people who know nothing of Formula One have heard of his crash at Nurburgring in 1976, when we was dragged from the inferno of his Ferrari so badly injured he was given the last rites. Within 33 days, he was racing again at Monza. His wounds bled, he had no eyelids. He was terrified. A year later, he reclaimed his World Championship title.

In To Hell and Back he reveals how he battled fear to stage a comeback that seemed beyond human endurance. Then it’s Lauda vs Hunt, an epic rivalry later dramatized in 2013’s Hollywood blockbuster Rush, and he looks back on the strict childhood and parental disapproval that he believes gave him an ‘addiction to excellence’. There’ll never be another like him.

Documentary examining the life and career of Formula One legend Niki Lauda, narrated by Sir Stirling Moss. Lauda won three World Championships in an illustrious career and is remembered with particular affection for returning to race after a terrifying crash in which he suffered extensive burns. The crash occurred at the Nürburgring in 1976, but Lauda fought back to win his third World Championship in 1984.

Michael Fassbender narrates this documentary about the history of Formula One racing. The film chronicles the sport's development from the 1950s through to the present day, discussing the dangers of racing, particularly in the '70s when the cars became faster but safety measures were still poor. After a number of fatalities, including that of promising young Frenchman François Cevert in 1973, improvements were made to limit the dangers to drivers. It is now almost 20 years since the last F1 driver, Ayrton Senna, was killed in action. The documentary features interviews with Jackie Stewart, Mario Andretti, Niki Lauda, Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher and many others.
