James Hunt Ready For Fight :D

[wks1978]

I think there is no doubt, Hunt was a prize pillock. He was, nonetheless an excellent commentator. and from what I can see (I'm too young to remember him race) a reasonable good F1 driver.

[futuretiger]

Hunt had another incident with Depailler at Long Beach in 1976!

[BigDuke6ixx]

As was par for the course back then, it was 99% Hunt's own fault.

[TheTonywade]

He was a bit of an asshole, we never liked him in school...

[LeighHobnob]

It always used to make me laugh that according to Murray Walker, James Hunt was known as 'Hunt the Shunt' due to his aggressive style. Yeah right! I'm sure they rhymed Hunt with 'Shunt'!!!

[TheTonywade]

@LeighHobnob I went to school with Hunt, and I was on the same cricket team as him. We called him, 'James C**t'

[LeighHobnob]

@TheTonywade Ha ha!! I thought as much!

[TheTonywade]

@LeighHobnob He was a nice enough guy, in an arrogant sort of way, but he got that name for a reason. I preferred his younger brother Peter. :-}

[beqa16v]

@TheTonywade

Really? what kind of guy he was?

[eduardoisland]

Such a shame that Formula One is nothing but a boring procession. Well at least Hamilton is boosting his brand and keeping the Sponsor's dollars rolling in.

[Austria4ever1000]

"stolen" titel from Lauda

[oldstyleTypeR]

@Austria4ever1000 just like hunts stolen victory at the british gp the same year

[X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X]

0:33

Nice, I would do the same

[tweakiepop]

Wow...those cars were sideways over the brow of the hill ...amazing exciting stuff

[anthonythirteen]

An era when men were men & F1 wasn't run by midgets in awe of corrupt middle/far east regimes and where you only get hauled in by the stewards if you're a) not white and/or b) not driving for Ferrari.

[philateliceun]

@anthonythirteen hahahaha hamilton loser

[Privateer17]

@anthonythirteen agrea twice the driver of thhe elf tyrol was Patrick he crashyed racing as a man

[burton0078]

Hahahha

[drak3y]

Cocaine's a helluva drug!

[allezlesrougess]

Not impressed. If Niki Lauda had done this everyone would have been calling for him to be tossed out of F1. And later in life he went onto be a hundred-yard hardman, calling people idiots and criticizing other drivers from behind the safety of a microphone. When it comes to colourful drivers please give me Gilles Villeneuve, who did his talking on the racetrack exclusively.

[mouloudo]

@allezlesrougess agreed

[EJW1]

@mouloudo I second that!

[McLarenMercedes]

James Hunt, what a colorful man.

The likes of him will never be seen again.

A playboy driver who was a massive talent, but drove like it was just fun and not business.

[Anan7777]

I prefer the vid when he KDs the track marshal :)

[octaviocgsa]

James Hunt ... what a joke...just a douchebag. 

[ayrtonsenna1960]

@octaviocgsa you know your right it seems every video he is in he's after a fight lol

[flipsidedogchop]

@octaviocgsa you forgot world champion you bitch

[MrThreshold2009]

[QuiteDrunkOnGin]

Depailler gave him no room. and the marshal first tryed to pull him backwards then the next one shoved him into the fucking car you morons. They deserve a slap round the face and so do you dick heads. He had his problems but he was a great world champion. You lot need to fuckin pay attention with all your what was he upset about comments.

[1schummif]

@QuiteDrunkOnGin Racing incident, thats all Depailler unexpected challenge Hunt lost racing line, but so quick, would not see it that way since the beginning of racing no two drivers agree on causes, thats part of the pumped up adrenalin overspill of most drivers. Marshalls are not paid but work free for the love of the sport, 1st. rule with any driver out of the car get them to safety. No driver should abuse marshalls it damages the sport.

[crossdockit]

Two years on & he's doing the same thing to another marshall at Mosport. That, his holier-than-thou arrogance, his penchant for making racial slurs whilst seated beside Mr. Walker, and on & on .I've long felt he's just an idiot & this footage certainly doesn't change my mind!! :)

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

james hunt was actually a remarkably talented and intelligent man, but yes, his attitude could be sub-par at times.

[gnark1ll1us]

Maybe he didnt smoke enough weed that day?

[superFrontrunner]

Why was he angry at the marshal?

[Cornbag]

haha what a fkn character!

[jupiatan]

hunt the cunt....sorry shunt.

[cpande1]

What exactly was he angry about though? There was barely any contact between the two, if any. Hunt went wide and Depailler stuck it down the inside. There was no way Hunt would have been able to hold that outside line around the corner anyway.

[bobodd5]

cut down on the drink you wank not be pussys not crash win race idiot

[bobodd5]

yes he was a pussys not a big nazi gay you dick

[FriskaViljorFan]

damn this cars are ugly

[scoot24925]

this dude was a real racer! not like some pussys. he was ready to finish that other guy

[YukiNekoPrincess]

Oh, James Hunt. How hot-tempered he was. XD

[IvanTheTerrible86]

thank's for this vid!!! i was searching it for a long time. great James, he was a really rockstar of formula1

[corrupt19785]

Go on James, deck him!

[Bio83]

The way Ronnie Peterson exits the Casino corner in complete oversteer at 0:07 is priceless!

[Tuscopa]

That camera angle... I might dare say I like it more than the one they use nowadays... Infact, I´ve been whatching some of the 70´s races and i like many camera angles from back then better than nowadays...:). They capture some details of the cars on the track better than nowadays in my opinion.

Those early cars... it was all about mechanical grip and power!!.. Good old times.

[mellilore]

Maybe there's a slight contact, but Depailler was a little ahead and on the best line, Hunt should have lift off... and instead No Sir, he keeps holding on to the point to run wide and crash... and even then he dares to blame Depailler.

James Hunt: a great driver but too often a dick, imo

[WatanukiF1]

Qué temperamento Dios!!!

[illicitstill]

Corner workers... they always want to touch the drivers for some reason. Leave them alone.

[toreaxe]

@illicitstill I suppose they have to get of the track as quickly as possible. I think once a driver is out he and the car are under their responsability.

[senatorclaydavis]

Hunt's fault. Didn't seem to be any contact

[triplehhhmytimewwf]

I think there was some rear wheel contact.See it closely

[TheMATTIST124]

That's how racing should be. Mark Webber should just go punch Eddie Jordan in the middle of the face, then smear shit in his face - FOR FUN!!!! XDDD

[T1carus]

it looks more like he lashed out as the marshal was pushing him over the tyre

[neomuttley]

I've been ready to beat some punk senseless in karting. @this level of competition? Know when to leave someone alone, or pay for your ignorance...

[ayrtonsenna1960]

I don't know why anyone would call hunt. Look f1 is a gladiatorial sport emotions run high. What some people tend to forget is hunt felt hard done by, the last thing you would do is grab a man who is emotionaly charged and angry the stupid marshal.

Marshals do a fantastic job but never undestand why they have to grab drivers

[Athaeus]

It doesn't remove the point that the F1 drivers need to get their emotions under control. How would you feel if a fighter pilot got angry and started blasting people at random? If a fireman left people burning up in a house because they were pissed at the heat or at the people yelling for help?

There's no excuse to behave badly, ever.

[cj52racers]

Uhh, he didnt kill anyone as far as I can see. So he was just angry which he has every right to be. Stop being a bitch and suck it up. He was heated and a guy grabbed him when there was absolutely no reason too. Very few people would have kept their cool.

[Athaeus]

Hunt just starts flailing randomly, hitting a marshal that didn't do anything. He's being a dick here, and should learn to handle simple emotions.

The first marshal probably tried to get his attention and get him away from the car to avoid injuries, since they were just about to lift it up.

The marshals risk their lives to keep the drivers safe - and the drivers sure aren't more important humans than any marshal. He should get off his high horse and thank them for their work, not hit them.

[cj52racers]

Did his emotions get the best of him, yes, but would I compare that to a fighter pilot just firing on civilians, probably not. This isnt that big of a deal. The guy grabbed both of his arms from behind, there is no need for that. He turned around and shoved him and then calmed down. This is nothing.

[Athaeus]

Oh well, at least I didn't compare him to Hitler - which is a great feat by internet standards!

And if you watch the clip carefully you'll notice that all three marshals suddenly react to something Hunt is doing, trying to get him away from the car. The marshals just grab one arm each to get him away from the car.

Now whether Hunts wild flailing at this point was a loss of balance (he did after all fall into the car), or an attempt to hit I don't know - but yes, he did walk away eventually.

[cj52racers]

Hahaha, well you are heads and shoulders above most for not making that comparison. But yeah, none of us are in his mind is what I am saying, so we dont know what he was doing. He could have been getting a picture of his wife and kids out of the car or something. We just dont know. It was relatively unwarranted, I just dont like jumping to conclusions on something like this.

[thesimsrule4evr]

Especially since Hunt was most likely bursting with adrenaline and wasn't expecting to be grabbed from behind.

[cj52racers]

Agreed, there were worse things he could have done. No one was injured, I am not sure why everyone is flipping out about this.

[gilessmokey]

Athaeus, what you don`t understand is that a competive racer puts his whole life into his racing. winning is such importance as to put your life and limb at risk. you want that win more than just about anything you are not going to win any races if your emotions are fully under control.

[T1carus]

they are rewarded for their risk, money or personal honour. ultra-safe racing isnt fun.

[graham6824]

Fighter pilots blasting people because they get angry. Guess you havn't worked with the USAF?.

Fireman/women not doing their jobs = 2002/2003 fire strike where my men & I had to come back from Afghanistan to cover their arses!.

There's 2x exampeles 4 u dude but I agree 110% with u where ur right. There is NO excuse 4 bad behaviour, expescally in Motorsports.

[T1carus]

in the old days they earned the huge wage by risking their lives for entertainment now there is minimal risk and max gain, the result is boring racing.

[gilessmokey]

i have competed in a race where a fellow competitor crashed and got killed.lets make things safe as poss.

[pepsimax131]

it looks like he locked his front right tyre you can see some tyre smoke coming off it at 0:13

[Ceedrun]

Great cars!

[Prost1988]

We miss you, Hunt and Depailler !

[longde]

That was a real man. When F1 drivers were real, real men.

[M5PowerM3Power]

No. A real man wouldn't lash out on a guy fucking risking their life to help them, tard face

[cocacolaholic]

hahaha he looks pissed up!

[stadioazteca]

do you want some.! DO YOU WANT SOME!

[mbb05jb]

the current drivers in f1 don't have any charisma at all. lewis hamilton seems to have had a personallity bypass. kimi is the nearest thing to a real race driver at the mo.

[TheGoldenSphinx]

I've always suspected that Lewis Hamilton was cloned in a lab to be the most boring person ever. Even Schumi has more charisma then Hamilton.

[razlika]

I couldnt agree with you more. I stoped watching formula 1 because of that.

[porksniffer]

This is exactly what's missing from today's bullshit they call F1! Priceless! For some reason I never fully understood, marshals love to touch drivers even though they aren't hurt. Why grab his arm if he's standing on his own feet? I think they're capable of finding the way back to the pits without the hand holding.

[LUNATIC75]

'Watch it, son!'

James Hunt. Legend.

[rimula01]

@LUNATIC75 Yes, I agree, James is a legend!!

Elvio from Argentina

[eredediascari]

è ripreso dai sorpassi da urlo della f1....1 dvd di quattroruote

[kzbxvz]

In Sweden he's always a hero. The man who dragged Ronnie Peterson out of his wrecked car at Monza 1978. Sadly James Hunt died in a heart failure 1993.

[armandin2048]

@kzbxvz MIght have had something to do with all the cocaine he shoved up his hooter

[CaxiasFreguesia]

At the extreme left on the monitor the marshall suddenly holds the left arm of James Hunt and pull him violently (0:22 and 0:23) , so he reacts against the other marshall lol, lol ...

[mowerman437]

I cant see what Hunt was so agreived by. I seemed to be his error. The pass was clean....unless something happened earlier that we didnt see.

[indigoblue555]

It seems a clean overtaking....

they didn't even slightly collide as far as I can see.

[jedrinck]

Hunt was in no position to pass, he should have given in before the corner. But whatever that marshal wanted, it looked weird.

[VeLiJaN]

LOL HEHEHAhaha

[NJD1967]

F1 could do with more drivers with charisma,spirit etc-Hunt,Villenueve,Mansell,Ir­vine etc-not the automatons currently doing the rounds....

[egdoh]

RIP hunt

[vertigo8]

This is great footage!

[Youtubax]

Yeah James kill the f*****g marshall! lol

[jocey1976]

Hunt the ....?

[GuilherB]

James,un vero pazzo ma, adorabile e sopratutto indimenticabile.

[aubanurmi]

I JUST LOVE JAMES

[sardosfish]

testa di cazzo

[Rosssmith21]

Thats James Hunt. Brilliant but bad tempered. Although for me as a 19 year old, he and Emerson Fittipaldi personify 70's F1, with Peterson, Andretti, Lauda and of course Sir Jackie. But Hunt will always remain an icon for me and for many others. Although Depailler had the line..

[Akkain]

He looked like a high strung guy

[brunopegado]

Hunt, The Shunt.

[rumvodkaf1]

Hunt should have hit him over the head with the helmet he was holding

[indigoblue555]

At 0.12 Depailler seems ahead:just inches but enough to have the right of going into the turn leading -

[TheEveryThink]

ahushuahsuahsuahsuhausu

[400SA]

Cool clip! F1 was much rawer in those days. Although some of the best days of F1 had already passed before I was born, at least there is youttube to see glimpses of the old days.....

[indigoblue555]

Can't get what was wrong...

I can't see neither contact nor any cheating by Depailler.

[NewYankee01]

depailler was my favourite racer but it was a bit naughty that and obviously being an englishman id be favouring hunt over pd any day. they had a few run ins and pd wasnt particularly on james hunt christmas card list. the thing that was wrong is monaco is as we all know shit for overtaking. now you rarely see oting. on that bit and cut jh off in such a way mschuey would have been proud of. oting. opportunities come at station, the mickey mouse chicane. thats it. try it anywhere else and oops!!!

[indigoblue555]

NewYankee01 - at Monaco we have seen several battles often leading the cars to collide,but specifically Depailler was already inside and Hunt had to give up.

The french driver didn't cheat at all:hard but

correct as far as I can see.Hunt had to regret

with himself having let the inside line open.

Obv.I comment according to what is shown in the clip...

[jawajawa350]

Nigel Mansell swung for a few people...anyone got any clips of that?

[Akkain]

I saw Nigel Mansel at Laguna Seca. He was a bit of an asshole

[jocey1976]

no,he was a complete one.

[rowgun500]

leos generally give tat impression.I am a leo!

[bienemajawilli]

Czy ktoś wie, czy "Coupon Code" BEREAL600 można używać także w innych online pokerroomach oprócz na Carbonpoker com? Bowiem czytałem, że Carbonpoker com już nie będzie oferować tego wspaniałego bonusu tak długo, a mieć czy nie mieć 600$ to jednak duża różnica!

[brattsveen]

Better! Fantastic clip! So many thanks!

[Jyllenberg]

Just like in NASCAR :)

[MargusKiistheCritic]

It looks like Andretti tried to beat Hunt actually.

[brattsveen]

James was a fantastic character!

[Dietpepsivanilla]

James was generally a great guy, but admitted he had an explosive temper when things didn't go his way. He once pushed a guy who accidently knocked his orange juice out of his hand after a race.

[brunswickfilms]

that's actually hilarious, a man possessed!

[SurebrecUK]

it's probably on here somewhere, as is the CCTV footage of him throwing a cup of scalding coffee in a doorman's face at a nightclub

[bodieofci5]

Has anyone got the video of James punching the marshal after being crashed into by Jochen Mass in Canada 1977? That was fucking hilarious.

[JimEllis1975]

he should have lamped im 1

[reynard89]

James Hunt could piss all over today's boring corporate characterless robots.

[schumisatokubica]

looks like hunt became the hunted;)

[hihynynhhf]

a bit of a nut if you ask me

[BoddingtonB]

Out-driven unfortunately James! Great reaction though

[haynet1962]

That's what we need more of these days!

[CTOXYEB]

he is my idol

[AntonioTonneti]

Great Classic Video!
