Great film and I remember the rivalry from my childhood, it was big news. Thought the film captured it really well and two stellar performances from the leads
I couldn't help think that there was a thematically-rich conflict between Hunt and Lauda and Howard made it seem as big and as broad and as dumb as possible. Hunt's first couple of scenes feel like they're out of a cheap porno. It's just such an obvious nerd/jock faceoff, I wished it were a bit more nuanced.
The racing scenes were pretty impressive though. How could you like NASCAR over Formula One? Ridiculous.
