Hi Bill, I'm not going to review the movie, but my Times connection gets me invites to many auto events. Brembo is a close connection as well. I did a piece for the Times on ceramic brakes. I'll have to have a look at what McLaren is doing here. Thanks for the tip. I think this film surpasses Grand Prix by a substantial amount in terms of cinematography . Mainly because so much more is possible today. A better story as well, and an essentially factual one. But it probably won't get the accolades. It's a different world.
