It's 24 October 1976 and on the Japanese circuit on the slopes of Mount Fuji the rain has been falling incessantly since morning. The Formula One championship will be decided in this last race of the season.
Competing for the title are Austrian world champion Niki Lauda, who a few months earlier at the Nürburgring had been the victim of a terrible accident and survived by a miracle, and British driver James Hunt, pure talent and rebellious spirit.
The two drivers are separated by just three points and united by a singular friendship. In a suspended time and space, while waiting to know if the race will be ran or not due to bad weather, all the great protagonists of motor racing in those years move around: not only drivers, such as Lauda, Hunt, Emerson Fittipaldi, Clay Regazzoni, but also technicians, mechanics and team men, such as Mauro Forghieri, Alastair Caldwell, Daniele Audetto and Bernie Ecclestone.
Il romanzo del Fuji - Lauda, Hunt, F1 1976 by Diego Alverà, a true story more exciting and tense than a fictional novel, tells the story of the colourful world that animates the circus: a small crowd of souls on the move with their desires and destinies, passions, ideals and interests that intertwine, meet and drift apart.
And above it all, the intense, contradictory and exclusive relationship between Enzo Ferrari, who oversees everything and follows every race from Maranello, and his driver Niki Lauda.
Fuji 1976: a race that marks the destiny of a world championship, but also the beginning of epochal changes for Ferrari and for the whole F1.
