10 motorsports legends who deserve their own film adaptations

Gilles Villeneuve Ferrari

#2 John Surtees

John Surtees 1964
Surtees has had World Championship wins in both MotoGP and F1

Surtees is unique in his own way because he is the only person to have won the Formula One World Championship and a MotoGP World Championship. Now a transition from 4 wheels to 2 wheels is understandably difficult because Valentino Rossi tested for the Ferrari Formula One Team once and Casey Stoner tried his hand at V8 Supercars after his retirement from MotoGP but Casey did not really set the 4 wheel stage alight.

Meanwhile Rossi, who went on to be a 6-time MotoGP champion, and is leading the standings this year as well, decided that Formula One wasn’t for him. Surtees is a different case altogether, it is one thing for a Formula One world champion to race in MotoGP but quite another for him to actually win the MotoGP World Championship. The Briton won the MotoGP World Championship 4 times and the Formula One World Championship once.
