An all-work-and-no-play guy, he cares nothing for ingratiating himself with his team members, and his abrupt marriage proposal to the pragmatic and supportive Marlene ( Alexandra Maria Lara), formerly a girlfriend of film star Curt Jurgens, feels more like a business venture than a love match. He buys his way on to teams and is meticulous about engine specs and team discipline. Offering a 180-degree contrast is Lauda, who comes from a conservative Viennese background but defies his family by taking up racing. Purists and the more serious-minded are bound to disapprove of this guy, as they did in real life.

His looks and devil-may-care attitude aside (at one point he ventures that women like race car drivers because of “our closeness to death”), Hunt is the kind of figure who dares you to take him seriously he stays up all night before races, never abstains from sex and is seen taking swigs of booze right before races.
Just as young ladies threw themselves at the great-looking Hunt literally by the thousands (one line describes his sexual prowess as “immortal”), female viewers might be persuaded to attend a racing film simply because of Chris Hemsworth, who looks fantastic with his long blond locks and ready smile and has finally found a role he can really score with in every sense of the word. It’s a credit to Peter Morgan‘s screenplay that one can come to understand and sympathize with both of them, even though there are many reasons one might not easily warm to either one.
