Contributors include Bernie Ecclestone, Max Mosley, Professor Sid Watkins, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, John Surtees, Emerson Fittipaldi, Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Jody Scheckter, Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Jacky Ickx and Martin Brundle. The Spitfire Pictures, Flat-Out Films and Diamond Docs production is directed by documentary maker Paul Crowder, whose credits include the award-winning "Riding Giants," and written by Crowder’s long-time creative partner Mark Monroe, the man behind Oscar-winning documentary "The Cove." Nigel Sinclair co-produced ''1'' with Michael Shevloff (F1).
