James Hunt

James Hunt is one of the most iconic drivers in Formula One history. After spending his youngster years in several junior racing categories and progressing through Formula 3, he caught the eye of the Hesketh Racing team with whom he started a six-year career at Formula One. Hunt gave them their famous only win in 1975 at the Dutch GP before moving to McLaren in 1976.

He became a World Champion in his first year with McLaren, all whilst garnering a reputation for his flamboyant style both on and off the track, with his battle for the 1976 championship with Nikki Lauda inspiring the award-winning film Rush directed by Ron Howard.
