chaotic start of 1979 Long Beach GP

[MmmmYeahSure]

Was there in person at age 15!

I like F1 better than Snoozcar, much more interesting. Austin 2012 should rock (gonna be a run on sunscreen for that one)

To kikecacique: believe it or not some of us do know the difference between cars, and believe it or not we have indoor plumbing now.

[fapsqpz]

3:47 pee-nalised? lol

[kikecacique]

USA will never understand that F1 IS NOT NASCAR or CHAMP CAR!

[LongBeachPits562]

@kikecacique Yes it will. It does. Only people that dont know the difference are the ones who arent fans.

Murray was quite a bit calmer here than in his later years. If this happened in the 90's he'd be shitting a brick!

[newby1kanewby]

Ahhhh James, telling it like it is.... 30 years on your words are as true as ever, the cheating red scum.

[cocacolaholic]

haha..............hilarious! gotta love james hunt!

[Chuckles9350]

thats awesome... "Obviously normally we'd all come back and race like friends, but Ferrari has been douche bags so everyone want them to be penalized" lol

[Salvy102]

back when F1 ruled the streets

Hunt seems to me a bit partial in his commentary against ferrari... i understand him anyway...those were times when english teams altogether were even able to win a GP... here and there. ferrari were only able to win... those left. God bless Lauda, Regazzoni, Scheckter, Villeneuve, Pironi and Tambay....

[flipsidedogchop]

@guezz64 fuck ferrari!

[berlinmitte10117]

Needless to say Ferrari were NOT penalized - what a surprise!

[lcville]

Ferraris were used to be penalized from 1990 to 1995, then all of a sudden, they didn't!

Lovely under-car pic of the Ligier, showing late '70s aerodynamics.

James Hunt is the man!!!! Quality guy & racer

[donostia13]

James Hunt is hilarious! I wish F1 had characters like him these days. Kimi is kind of wild, but only in his private life...

[idak12]

slewing off to the left? is that the same as skidding Murray. James Hunts comments

[motorsportnutter4eva]

Can't believe Villeneuve overshot the grid, think he was so focused on getting his tyres warmed up he must've forgot where he was on the circuit, never seen anything like that before.

[Didado07]

What I remeber whas that Gilles didn't see the start finish line because of a strong shadow of that bridge over start/finish. By the second start they had replaced the start/finish line a couple of feets forward. But now any doubts, I think James was very right :-)

One of the craziest starts in formula one history...and it is great to see it again one more.

Thanks
