New old movie

I just came across a 2013 revision of an 1971 movie called "Weekend of a Champion" by Roman Polanski about Jackie Stewart. It follows him around in a continuous interview at the GP of Monaco. Two scenes of interest are Stewart at breakfast in his skivvies, giving Polanski a cornering lesson while drawing on a tablecloth and new footage in the same room 40 years later with them talking about F1 safety. During this later segment Stewart confesses that he dropped out of school at age 15 because he had severe dyslexia which he kept a secret most of his life! He said he could neither read nor write. Check it out on Netflix.
Best,
Tim
