It's old school here, the golden era of the automobile. Walter, we're stranded at the airport. Yes, unfortunately. We just came back from Histo Monte. Now let's use the time wisely. Or at least makes sense to me, maybe not to you. I heard there's a film about you coming out soon. "Race for Glory". It's about the year 1983. Or it should be about that. That's what it should be about. For me it is my best rally year ever. I have now received information and film recordings on my cell phone via several detours. I took a look at it and then needed a line. Whether I already have Alzheimer's somewhere that I can no longer remember my life. Because the film has nothing to do with what I experienced in 1983. So unbelievable. I have that too, when I found out that the film existed, it was clear to me that that couldn't be the case. No one has contacted me and asked me what happened. That this would be chronologically correct. I'm also not convinced that he'll ever actually come to Germany. I heard it's running in America and Canada from January 5th. Maybe they heard you from rally driving, I have no idea. And maybe they don't take the truth too seriously. Maybe they like it and stuff. But it's really hair-raising. The film begins, I am a beekeeper, I am with my bees. Fiorio comes and asks me if I drive for Lancia. That's quite a blow, right. Then I said, it has to be a different film. That does not have anything to do with me. After all, the actor who represents me has nothing to do with me and my appearance. That's Volker Bruch. He's probably 20 cm shorter than me. I have no explanation for that. For me only one thing is clear. I will see the film when it comes out, I won't go to the cinema because it would embarrass me to death, if there are new and different people there and I'm there. And say, what nonsense is what's going on? I have no explanation as to what the motives were. I am also convinced that from a purely legal perspective this is not all 100% clarified. They didn't ask me if I agreed with it. I'm convinced they didn't ask Audi either. Since the main initiative comes from Italy, Lancia is probably better represented than the Audi people. I can't imagine, when you see the Audis, that they swallow it so easily. Was there a scene that was realistic? There are two scenes that are realistic. Once Fiori said to me, "You only want to do six rallies, you have to do more." Then I say, "We've agreed on six rallies and it'll stay that way!" and then I turn around and walk away. That could be somewhat realistic, my reaction. And the second scene is the story at the Monte Carlo, where salt is being spread so that we can clear away the snow. We say back then in reality, they sent a few trucks over there and salted them. In this case, a few people, like the farmers 100 years ago, go out with a bag of salt and sprinkle a little salt on the street. But at least something realistic is right, salt has been thrown in. At some point a young doctor appeared as a team doctor at Lancia. I must have missed that too, I didn't experience that in reality. Was that perhaps special treatment for Hannu Mikkola? I don't know, definitely. I can only warn everyone. One hour 47 minutes wasted. But the driving shots have nothing to do with reality either. Oh well, not even that is good. If only the excerpts from Deimel had said that this was at least an action. Neither. Then a scene occurs where Mikkula and I are driving on the public road, racing. Once Mikkula is there, then I'm back in front. So everything is unrealistic, unimaginable. I can't imagine that this works in Germany. But if it runs for a week, they'll all close again. That's a disgrace. Okay, so you have, let's say, what do they always give out to film critics? Five out of five popcorn bags is the most. How many bags of popcorn do you have? None at all. You need a vomit bag, there's nothing else. Thank you very much. Understood.
