Murray Walker's tribute to James Hunt Part 1/2

James Simon Wallis Hunt (29 August 1947 -- 15 June 1993) was a British racing driver from England who won the Formula One World Championship in 1976. After retiring from driving, Hunt became a media commentator and businessman.

Murray Walker made this touching tribute film within a couple of weeks of James's death. It was broadcast following the French Grand Prix, on July 4th, 1993.

I was very much a fan of the pairing of James and Murray. It was definitely never the same again after James sudden departure.

Senna's describing himself here basically. No insult intended.

@quasiphatpaul

Not sure what you mean. I was always a big fan of Senna. I was devastated by his death, although I found out what real grief was many years later when my friends and family started dying off.

James and Ayrton were some of the saddest losses in motorsport IMHO.

Aryton's more right than Niki Lauda whose a rich old man, and always was, really. The point about James is that he almost always could be relied on, not to say the right thing. And if James Hunt had been at the launch of the HMS Canterbury(1969), with the bottle being smashed by gorgeous Princess Anne aged 17- you don't know if James would behave. Motor Racing people often say that the putting of Hunt into F1 was a ludicrous outrage, but more true of kamikazees like Lunger and Brambilla.
