Anatomie d'un Depart: Well worth 11 minutes of your life
Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 11:13AM
In 1985, Elf made this stellar little documentary showing the lead-up to the start of an F1 race. All the wonderful master drivers of the turbo era are there, from Keke Rosberg to Niki Lauda to Nigel Mansell, and of course the young Senna who we watch as he applies a sticker to his own helmet visor with fastidious precision. The music is awesomely period. Well worth the 11 minute running time.
Chapeau, Amaury!
