James Hunt, a real character, makes the drivers today look like robots.

[Agoogy]

PH has a motorsport section just fyi.... wherein you'll find stuff about Hunt being a legend..

[Jonboy_t]

He was just copying me....

[anonymous-user]

"Hunt the shunt" being one of his nicknames IIRC....

We won't ever read this about Lewis because he appears to have the personality of a wet blanket...

That may only be a small part of the reason . . . . . . . . . . awaits somebody posting pic of him, looking like he's holding hands with Sutil

Oh really?! I assumed he accumulated all his wealth purely from F1?

That was after F1. I believe his family had a big taxi firm before

One word:

Kimi

[bob1179]

What a legend.

I would loved to have met James Hunt, and Barry Sheene for that matter.

Yes, but they would probably make him look rather slow.

Ah, but that opens a whole can of worms, is it the car or the driver?

[Fume troll]

Exactly, I think that all other things being equal (including talent), drivers with todays professionalism will probably end up faster than those without. Not necessarily a better sport, better spectacle or anything else, but faster.
