Deeper than ever before into the detail of The Doctor’s career, from raging on-track rivalries to battling his own personal demons.

Based on the testimony of those who know him best, and with observations from those who competed against him on track, this feature delicately pulls together more than 30 exclusive interviews from all the main players, revealing hitherto unknown tales of an Italian maestro who re-wrote the history books one story at a time.
