This penetrating and dramatic account of a pivotal era in the history of Ferraris legendary Grand Prix team centers round the relationship between the pushy and ambitious young Niki Lauda, the teams number one driver from 1974-77, and the teams management headed by the autocratic and often irascible Enzo Ferrari.
