The extraordinary story of Bernie Ecclestone's meteoric rise from post-war car dealer to the creation and 50-year reign over the cutthroat world of Formula One.

Combining exclusive interviews with Bernie Ecclestone himself, breath-taking archive and epic storytelling, this immense narrative courses over seven decades, with each era the scene of fabled on-track rivalries (from Fangio/Ascari and Senna/Prost to Hamilton/Vettel) and legendary characters (including Enzo Ferrari, Colin Chapman, Luca Montezemolo, Max Moseley) - all set against a backdrop of truly global events (The Cold War, The Oil Crisis, Apartheid, Tobacco, The Death of Senna, The Green Movement). "Lucky" is about so much more than just a sport - it's about one man's true grit and determination to overcome all the odds to create a super brand followed and adored by millions of people worldwide.
