...skidding end to the most dramatic racing duel in recent memory. Lauda is a methodical Austrian whose technical brilliance and unflappable personality had brought stability-and a championship-back to Ferrari after a decade of decline. Hunt is the dashing Englishman who brought the verve of a swashbuckler to staid Team McLaren. Roundhead and Cavalier, a rivalry that seemed fated...
