Weekend of a Champion
Subscribe to F1 Magazine This is a short video taken at the Cannes rerelease of Roman Polanski s epic F1 movie, Weekend of a Champion. Delving inside F1 and inside the mind of an F1 driver in a way that would never be possible today, Polanski and Director, Frank Simon, spent the Monaco GP weekend of 1971 with Jackie Stewart. Now, 42 years on, the awardwinning film has been remastered by Polanski and Mark Stewart (Sir Jackie s son) and features a new ending Jackie and Roman sitting in the same Hotel de Paris suite used back in 1971, reflecting over times past and friends lost. It is remarkably moving. This video records Sir Jackie s opening comments before the Cannes showing in May, 2013 and those of Mark Stewart. Polanski stands on the right of the stage as we see it. The film is being released and distributed by Pathe
