I remember how annoyed he got when he got knocked out of the weightlifting early because his very round shoulders meant he couldn't lock his arms with the weight above his head.

When I was a kid he was always one of my heroes, mainly because of his driving and his attitude to driving, that we were shown. He always seemed very charismatic as well, something which a lot of the current crop of drivers don't seem to be able to equal.

I know it my well be unlikely, but it'd be good to see Kimi win tomorrow, purely because if his helmet design for this weekend.

Unfortunately unlikely but I agree with DanDC5 it would be great to see the James Hunt helmet take the chequered flag. Can't wait to see the movie Rush hope it lives up to the expectations. I did not enjoy the Senna film for many reasons but loved TT3D closer to the edge movie. I hope Rush does not turn out like days of thunder.

No, not even close. James never committed the unforgivable, despicable sin of playing football professionally.

He was Motor racings George Best, or a latter day Graham Hill, neither were loathed

Can't see any difference myself.

Ahh but footballers have become soft nancys that fall over with a breath of air to claim a foul.
I'd wager that Hunt (and some others of that ilk) would kick them in the proverbials and carry on.

A lot can be forgiven if the thing that you're renowned for, you do very well.
