But more on topic, from 2:28 is Chico Landi, who was the first Brazilian Grand Prix driver and the first driver from Brazil to race in a European GP.

Three French drivers who you probably don't think about very often, who are still very much alive and kicking...

I haven't really properly watched it all the way through...On the whole I really have no interest in racing movies, although Rush was pretty good.

I have seen both Grand Prix and Le Mans. And both are pretty ok. From nostalgic point of view, both movies are essential.

Grand Prix really has the feel of a movie from the times. Slower pace story telling. But the racing scenes are utterly terrific.

Le Mans is unique in a lot of ways. Racing aside, I can see how movie buffs would find it interesting for its own story telling method.

Multiple interviews with Gunnar Nilsson in this video, notably one from about 2:00

With ABBA playing in the background too. Could this video get any more Swedish?

Mega bump for this one: whilst listening to an old-school radio show type thing on Alfonso de Portago, I discovered that there's crystal-clear and quite long interviews with Peter Collins and Wolfgang von Trips (who speaks impeccable English, to the point he practically sounds American).

Collins starts at 5:15 and von Trips at 6:36
