If there was a Rush 2 movie...
Discussion
1976 was one of the classic years in F1 and is well represented in Rush, but if there was a sequel, what year would you feature?
1994 - Death of Senna, Benetton/Schumy allegedly cheating, Benetton fire, Hill's superb drive at Suzuka and the Adelaide showdown.
2007 - Rookie Lewis vs WDC Alonso, Hungary qualifying, the Spygate scandal, Kimi becomes WDC against expectations.

Was it 04 Schumacher broke his leg? I can't remember. Anyway, that year - Irvine, the Ferrari number 2 takes the title to the wire as Schumacher comes back and has the chance to help him be champion, and Ferrari instead choose to sacrifice the title with some Hollywood spec sabotage (to be made up during the script writing phase) 
For Hollywood, you need drama, intense rivalry, sex, death and tragedy. That rules out the vast bulk of modern F1.
1958 was particularly bad regarding death (four drivers killed, I think) AND the championship won by only 1 point.
Can't vouch for the sex. Not sure if it was invented back then.

According to Moss he was at it like a rabbit chasing the girls, you had the "Mon Ami Mate" friendship between Hawthorn and Collins, Fangio's last race and the championship decided at the final race
There was going to be a film just about Collins and Hawthorn - http://www.mike-hawthorn.org.uk/mamfilm.php

As i havent been watching f1 for as long as most of you guys, it would have to be Button winning with Brawn.
Thinking back, it was amazing, as we didn't even know if the team would be saved, then when the car was clearly fantastic, it was a hollywood year.
Once he started to win, though, the excitement faded. They did at least have the decency to be unable to develop as quickly as their rivals, so JB couldn't cakewalk the second half as much as the first, but I'm not sure the whole year would be a riveting film.Thinking back, it was amazing, as we didn't even know if the team would be saved, then when the car was clearly fantastic, it was a hollywood year.
Prost v Senna - Senna documentary has its flaws. I would argue the aftermath of the 1989 San Marino GP was just as and perhaps more important than the their infamous crashes because by that year's Monaco GP their relationship had turned irreparable.
The life of Achille Varzi is worthy of film itself. He had raced in the same era as Nuvolari and Rosemeyer, stole th wife of a fellow racer and subsequently turned to a drug addict before making a comeback.

I've read on various different movie sites over the last few years that there are scripts for a Mon Ami Mate era film, a film about the pre war Auto Unions, the 1982 season and a Senna life story all doing the rounds. The last one has come close to being greenlit but was dropped after the documentary.
We do have the recently announced Cruise/Le Mans/GT40 movie on the way.
