It's awesome, watch it!!! Willy is amazing - his story is great and his personality is like pure electricity. Supposedly a feature length movie deal has been rumored.
If anyone likes podcasts, check out Dinner with Racers. One of my favorite podcasts and they do a great 1 hr+ interview with Willy. He takes the Willy you see in the UPPITY documentary and turns it up to about 11, dude is wild!
Behind the Ali-like brashness, there is a highly intelligent, super driven individual. A remarkable guy.
One thing that is funny though, he definitely talks about having to face racism in his career but, as I recall, he said his time in Europe was great because he was treated like a driver, not a "black driver". I don't recall him mentioning racism as it related to his F1 test, but I could be misremembering.
