In an era when the sport was terrifyingly dangerous, the drivers were revered as rock stars with charisma and raw talent, however many of them paid the ultimate price. Those who survived racing at this time became leaders, standing up to save lives in a sport that was stealing them at a tragic rate. Using rare and archival footage, 1: Life on the Limit features the largest list of F1 interviewees ever assembled. Review: The moment of impact - After cramming a dozen of the most hoary, hackneyed cliches into its first sixty seconds, I thought uh-oh, here we go. After F1 received the Fisher Price treatment in RUSH, a film which did the sport no real justice at all, it's amateur hour again. Stand by for a 90-minute Sky Sports style montage: fast cars, girls, loud noises, blah blah.. All fast edits, flash camerawork, no authenticity, no substance. But I was wrong. After the pomp and circumstance of the first minute, '1' slams to a halt, literally, as Martin Brundle's car rises and violently jackknifes through the air and into the Armco at Adelaide '96. Silence .. Surely he's got to be dead. But F1 fans know he's not. In a perfect scene-setting moment, Brundle's familiar voice cuts through the air, tells us he shouldn't be alive today, and we have our context. And then we're launched back in time, into what turns out to be a journey through F1's horrific middle years, and how a passionate group of drivers and team owners struggled to reduce the death count in a sport which had all-too-often become - at its grisly height in the Seventies - the sporting equivalent of a snuff movie. Motorsport fans love a good crash, but when a driver is burnt to death, or virtually sliced in half, or decapitated - all of which happen in '1'- it ceases to be entertaining. The film teaches you how Stewart, Fittipaldi and Lauda played their roles in making the sport safer, and how Bernie Ecclestone of all people perhaps made, with his insistence that Prof Sid Watkins (may he rest in peace) rule every race from a medical standpoint, the biggest contribution. Max Moseley, too. I hadn't appreciated all of this. Nor did I know that Rindt died when he insisted on removing his own rear wing to make the car go faster. Or how much of a superstar Cevert had become before that stomach-churning crash at Watkins Glen which made his fellow drivers cry with the horror. Or indeed many other things, and I am a life-long fan of F1 since 1977, the year of Tom Pryce and Kyalami, although that insane, terrible and unforgettable moment isn't featured in the film. '1' is wonderful. At times, if you're a hardcore, long-time fan, especially if you experienced the sport through the driver-killing Seventies like my brother Mark and I did, it might put a few tears in your eyes. It gets compared to SENNA, which is a seminal documentary in any genre, never mind sports documentaries. But I'm not comparing the two. '1' has its place, and in my view it joins SENNA as the second great F1 film in recent years. It doesn't go for controversy, although there is naturally some finger-pointing. If you're a circuit-owner from the 1970s, or a relative of Colin Chapman, you might not like what you see here. Jacky Ickx, too, is singled out as a reckless Neanderthal who ignored safety and went against the rest - although Ickx magnificently defends his case in a relaxed, rather charming interview, without appearing too self-satisfied. In fact, Ickx's charismatic and likeable turn is suffused with the glow of a man who walked the tightrope blindfold, and didn't fall. The predominant vibe from the interviewees who were around when the others were dying so often ... Fittipaldi, Andretti, Ickx, Stewart, Surtees, and of course Lauda ... is that they are The Survivors. As Andretti says, he dodged the bullet. That the bullets found so many of the greatest drivers who ever lived, is what gives '1' it's constant air of tragedy. There is dread when a driver, such as Clark, Cevert or Rindt, receives the in-depth treatment, in the knowledge that the film makers are simply giving us the measure of men who, ultimately, would die horribly at the wheel of their car. Some may find '1' ghoulish. I found it a fitting memorial to men both living and dead who are among my sporting heroes of all time. A world-class line-up of interviewees, more or less everybody you'd want to hear from (except, perhaps, Prost), filmed and edited tastefully. Nobody outstays their welcome. It's a brisk film punctuated by invigorating music and the ear-shattering, primal noises of an F1 circuit. And yes, it sounds amazing on your home cinema. The men who play their parts in the relative sanitisation of the modern-day sport are reduced to a few interviews early and late in the movie, but although that very sanitisation is clearly where '1' is headed, it also knows that that's not where the story or the entertainment truly lie. Kudos to the film makers for not producing an F1 retrospective for the YouTube generation. But, briefly, you're brought to the near-present day by a genius quip from the quick-witted Robert Kubica, near the end. Cue much laughter. It's a film for me and my big brother, as we were there back in the day. Monza 1977, the year before Sid Watkins arrived, and Petersen died, we sat in that big long old stand among the Tifosi, and watched Andretti beat the six-wheel Tyrrells. We - like a million other men of a certain age - remember those days, obsessively following a dangerous sport in which anything could happen, and which has now become relatively predictable, sanitised and desperately, almost calamitously, commercial. Maybe death is entertainment, after all. Perhaps that's what we all have to recognise. The Romans had their gladiators, and we had ours. But the Formula One gladiators who died, all died doing something they loved - right up to the moment of impact, the sport to which they had devoted their lives quickly and brutally sending them on their journey into the next one. Review: Beautifully done - Really enjoyed this - I’m pretty new to the F1 scene and I’d watched Rush and loved it, this was a great follow up to show how the industry changed and how incredibly dangerous it used to be - some scenes were a little upsetting but the archive footage was incredible and there are interviews with some brilliant drivers and industry experts. Well worth a watch - I bought it for my partner who’s obsessed with F1 and he absolutely loved it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Michael Shevloff, Nigel Sinclair, Paul Crowder | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 804 Reviews | | Format | PAL | | Genre | Documentaries & Biographies | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05055201826213 | | Manufacturer | Studiocanal | | Number of discs | 1 | | Runtime | 1 hour and 49 minutes | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Documentaries & Biographies - **Format:** PAL - **Contributor:** Michael Shevloff, Nigel Sinclair, Paul Crowder - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 49 minutes - **Colour:** Colour ## Images ![One - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MxPzZdf8L.jpg) ![One - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91OhVc7M3fL.jpg) ![One - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91IEhVhSOML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The moment of impact *by A***N on 18 April 2015* After cramming a dozen of the most hoary, hackneyed cliches into its first sixty seconds, I thought uh-oh, here we go.

Well worth a watch - I bought it for my partner who’s obsessed with F1 and he absolutely loved it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superbly Edited *by P***Y on 22 March 2014* Nothing for ages and then three in a row - Senna, Rush and now Life on the Limit. The first two had a strong hi Human narrative whereas Life on the Limit is more of a dip into the Formula 1 archive. So it takes its main narrative as the development of safety in F1 to the point where we about to reach the 20th anniversary of the last death in Formula 1, Aryton Senna at Imola in May 1994, although the appearance of Michael Schumacher as a talking head is a reminder of the dangers faced by drivers looking for their thrills outside of the cockpit. Equally, featuring the late Professor Sid Watkins, the medical guru who was a fixture at race circuits, and who did much to improve safety, provides another poignant movement, tears on his cheeks as he ponders whether he could have done more to prevent his friend Senna racing that fateful day. The catalogue of deaths is dealt with in detail dwelling on Bandini, Cevert, Clark, Rindt and Williamson (the scene of hopelessness as David Purley tried to right the burning March, the driver trapped inside) whilst other drivers race on is damming testament to F1 attitudes in the 70s). It makes parts of the film difficult to watch. A 111 minute running time means much has to be missed out and the current era is addressed in a cursory way. For some a favourite driver is ignored - there is little on Moss, Hakkinen, Prost, Gilles Villeneuve or Vettel - and with this in mind the re-run of the Rush story can be seen either as duplication or an inspired link to that film. A great soundtrack, some fantastic editing but rather flat commentary from Michael Fassbender. Overall though a good film and hopefully one that unlocks more of the footage that is held by Bernie Ecclestone's team at Biggin Hill. Releasing some of Murray Walker's classic commentaries would be a welcome start --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48143582-one](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48143582-one) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
