It’s October 24, 1976 and on the Japanese circuit on the slopes of Mount Fuji the rain has been falling incessantly since the morning. The Formula 1 championship will be decided in this last race of the season. Competing for the title will be Austrian reigning world champion Niki Lauda, who a few months earlier at the Nurburgring was the victim of a terrible accident, only to make it out alive by a miracle and the Englishman James Hunt, pure talent and rebellious spirit.
The two riders are separated by just three points and united by a singular friendship. In a suspended time and space, waiting to find out whether or not the race will take place due to bad weather, all the great motoring protagonists of those years move: not just drivers, such as Lauda, Hunt, Fittipaldi, Regazzoni, but also technicians, mechanics and team members, such as Mauro Forghieri, Alastair Caldwell, Daniele Audetto and Bernie Ecclestone.
Diego Alverà, in this true story more exciting and tense than a fictional novel, tells the colorful world that animates the circus and above all this, the intense, contradictory and exclusive relationship between Enzo Ferrari, who oversees everything and follows every race from Maranello, and his driver Niki Lauda.
Fuji 1976: a race that marked the fate of a world championship, but also the beginning of epochal changes for Ferrari and for all of Formula 1.
