He is so simple , simple refreshing champion ...niki lauda said: He is among a few who i liked and even fewer that i respected but he remain the only person i have ever envied.........thats my best part in Rush movie
Was a very touching moment for sure ....especially coming from a man with so much strength, pride and honour!
The actor that played Nikki Lauda NAILED that role. Same with Hunt. Its by far their best work ever.
"when sex was safe and driving was dangerous"
Ron Howard?
@@vylestyle2749 Stirling moss I think
Sir Jackie Stewart.
Bobby Deerfield.
Proud to have known him, an absolute legend, raced at a time when the driver drove the car.
when F1 drivers were rockstars
Yup. Now they drive V6 cars and they complain about tires...
Kimi Raikkonen should have lived in the 70s.
In the seventies, the pilots did a lap and told the engineers what to do to improve the car.
Today the riders take a turn and engineers say the pilots what to do and how to drive the car.
enrico moretti You speak out of your arse. The drivers describe what is happening to the cars and the engineer tries to work out how to fix the problems the car/driver may be having. This is the way it has always been and is still the same to this very day. Stop spreading misinformation.
***** AhaahahAHhaHAHHAhAhHAhAhHAhAH u fukn'idiot
If you do not understand the difference between an expression and a serious conversation do you have to be a bad engineer...
now they are #blessed. buheuehue... EDIT: Enrico Moretti. you my friend, got rect, and you reacted like a rect person. congratulations.
The James Bond of Formula 1
***** The name's Hunt, James Hunt.
+Michael Litle You nailed that one !! Well said !
James Hunt wasn't shaken, but he definitely stirred lol
Laudfinger
I love how forthright and honest James is/was...it's very refreshing.
He comes across as a very interesting and bright guy.
He had a nasty temper. On the track at least, I don't know about his personal life. He punched a track Marshall for just making sure Hunt was not hurt after a crash. Hunt punched the poor guy and then immediately helped him up and apologized profusely. He was really passionate and intense on the track.
And handsome
Yes, he was a very eloquent 'received' English speaker. That's one of the benefits of attending a very good public or grammar school.
He was So well spoken, and yet so frivolous. What a legend mate.
A great motor racing hero and very sad that he died so young.
I am Brazilian, 51 years old, always loved Hunt's driving and life style. What a jewel. RIP James.
about 61 now.
How very humble for his time.
Great interview by James; he was far more sophisticated than I ever imagined. A rockstar F1 driver if there ever was.
My hero as a 16 yr old, got his autograph twice and could've had more, the last of the F1 drivers that loved his followers, fondly remember the 76 Brands Hatch FF festival where he was guest of honour and went around the track with every winner. True honest bloke with time for the public, sorely missed.
I was there too..at 22..saw him in the Pentagon bar afterwards knocking back a few pints ..borrowed 3500 next year for 1 year old Van Dieman FF..we had big dreams back then.RIP James
Fantastic view on life. Good wisdom and love his commentary. James added much life and color to F1. He is greatly missed.
Flippin' brilliant interview. The last minute alone is beyond epic.
I am so proud to say he was my friend
It's hard not to admire the man, he clearly absolutely loved life.
The quintessential cheeky, stoic and heroic Englishman. He got in when the mix of play and display was perfect for the ultimate playboy. He retired to relax and watch the F1 supermen of the ferocious 1980s speed by. He got out before the world made great men like him utterly irrelevant. What a beautiful life.
Happy Birthday James!! He would of been 67 today. He was his own man. So charismatic and unique.
Mackenzie Norman: so sad he had a short life.
73 now if he was still here
I think this interview is absolutely brilliant, he hits the nail on the head so many times about life, people, fun etc etc. It would have been great to have met him & partied with him haha! Shoulda kept my long hair!
Wow Chris Hemsworth way of talking was really damn close to this. Great job by him, and rip James Hunt.
I'm not so sure.. His performance wasn't that good for me.. Too aggressive and cocky to be James Hunt.
This guy is the shit!!!!! Coolest F1 driver ever!!!!
Yeah such a nice guy and very educated , its sad he died so young and just as bad was 1 year later we lost Senna too it is literally burned into my memory as a child of the 90s watching that accident at Imola live on the BBC it was a nightmare day that i try not to remember but cannot forget.
A real gentleman and a great sportsman.
Define gentleman!😂
What an amazing interview I'm so glad I saw this it gives me more perspective on Mr Hunt and his depth which basically was just known as a Playboy but he put his heart and soul in this thing had a dream and vision and he carried through and he became a Formula 1 Champion God bless them may rest in peace and he's up there he's up there with some of the great ones
One of the best interviews ever. At least from James' part.
Well he went on to be one of the best F1 commentators ever !! him and Murray Walker were the best
I remember in 1976 just before the US Grand Prix James Hunt appeared on the Mike Douglas Show along with Mike Connors (Mannix) who knew quite a bit about auto racing. It was a fantastic episode and you realized that James Hunt was no ordinary racing car driver. It was impossible not to like him and he was so affable.
It should also be mentioned that James Hunt was actually attending and then dropped out it before he went into auto racing which is just unbelievable.
If he was born in the 1920's he'd be Wing Commander (rtd) J. Hunt DFC & Bar DSO with 38+ kills. Discussing his Spitfire and fear of death etc. He's like a 1970's version of Douglas Badar, Bob Stanford-Tuck, Johnnie Johnson respectfully. Niki Lauda would be the roll of Galland or the Steinhoff! Or even further back - the Red Baron himself - Richthofen!
***** agreed lol
***** Smoke James a kipper...
Great stuff there! Well done!
BRILLIANT!!!
Closer to the truth than you know.
Fabulous interview. I never new Hunt. Going to go watch my copy of Rush now because of this.
Gravitationalist it's a brilliant film.
Wow, you had a great day!
James Hunt and Nikki Lauda real Hero’s. Straightforward and living in the moment.
I have to say James Hunt is a character that few actors could play and be "better looking" than. Which is rare in docudrama films.
And don;t forget to go and see movie RUSH it was great.
just seen it tonight... brilliant movie..
i would have loved to have been able to have a pint with this man, what a legend!!!
I could listen to this guy for ages. He's posh but not pretentious.
Its not a "snobby upper-class accent" It is a proper English mans accent. A man who can talk English how it should be spoken so that everyone listening can understand what is being said. With out quarks or distortion to words phrases or sentences.
well said!
AKAFAY2
Judging by the accent (and the blond hair, come to think of it), I find him to be a male equivalent of Joanna Lumley. Is it wrong to think so?
hugh0221 You know you can think what you like.
I can speak the queens english. I am born and bread within the realms of our Great Britian. My father and forefathers before that fought both the Huns and the Boars and were somewhat successful. To the non British haters out in the world, and trust me there are plenty of them, i say in my most literate English voice" Fuck You All". God Save The Queen.
Im from Yorkshire and i can speak with this accent, this is proper english absolutely the way its supposed to sound
His answer to the penultimate question was so spot on.
He was extremely articulate and intelligent. Interesting interview, cheers for uploading.
interviewer too many questions about dying otherwise good to hear from James Hunt... quite humble bloke
You've got a good memory Sam! Normally, most people would dislike a playboy like Hunt. But there was something magical about him that made you like him.
This is a great interview
He is very smart, very sincere, very open, clear.
What a refreshingly frank and poignant conversation.
He had a wise head on his shoulders. Respect.
I totally agree with him when he says about the fact that he isn't proud of himself unless he's really worked for or earned something.
And what better reason to actually feel and be proud of yourself when you've really earned something whether is big or small.🖒James Hunt🖒
I like this guy. I really like him a lot. I am really sad I never got to meet him.
Hemsworth didn't do his accent as posh but it startled me to hear his voice. The intonation is spot on.
James Hunt: the MAN.
Crazy that he would go on to win the championship that very year
RIP James. Never really appreciated him at that time as I was too young, but what a gem.
RIP James, A great guy
He says right here that he didn't want to keep going after he was made financially. His approach makes sense to me. Don't keep going at something if it's dangerous, or unpleasant if you don't need to financially. Until I heard him here, I didn't understand why he retired after winning one championship.
His children must be so proud of their Dad
classy guy. f1 drivers are intelligent creatures.
sjc money doesn't get you intelligence
sjc you can't buy or get taught intelligence numb nuts. you can teach knowledge, you can buy knowledge. you can't buy or teach intelligence. you're not intelligent to understand the difference between an education and intelligence.
sjc i'm not going to convince you because my experience throughout life has told me ignorance always wins an arguement. you just don't get it.
sjc What sultanabran1 wants to say is that some people are born intelligent, while others...you know, it doesn't matter how much money they have or which school they go to, they're just dumb. Of course, it's not enough to be intelligent; you have to work hard and the circumstances are also important, but intelligence is the base.
Denisse C. awesome, someone who understands the difference.
The casting for hunt and lauda in rush is perfect.
Except Hemsworth, who played Hunt, looked and was at least 10 years older than this Hunt of 1976
I really respect Hunt
They don't make 'em like that anymore. Long live the Hunt.
RIP James ... legend!
What an interesting and charismatic man
What a fascinating bloke - similar attitude to Barry Sheene
James Hunt is so intelligent and self reflected
What's up with the Phi Delt sweatshirt?
All the talk of death isn't rude, it was a fact about F1 at the time- it was insanely dangerous.
James Hunt autograph for sale !! £500 (English pounds).. Along with 'lots more' Grand Prix drivers from the 70's.. RIP James.. Thank you so much for posting this splendid interview.. Rxxx
I wish Hunt were around now to enjoy all the new attention he is getting.
Good looking,Smart and legend
LEGEND
His eyes were perfect light blue!!!
yes Jason, would have been interesting how James would have told the story. He was a great guy.
What a Top Fella. Great interview, the discussion on death back then was talked about more freely because it was so profound, sadly. We live in a different time, I hope he did punch out the Interviewer in real life when that peanut upset Niki .I would have. Thanks for sharing the interview a real English Gentleman.
Bernie Ecclestone Interview - Drive in - 1977
i really like he s view on the world
RIP James.
Humble man!!!
Wonderful wasn't he ? What a shame there aren't more personalities like him in sport. The movie has made him immortal now.
It is a bit surreal listening to some of what James says knowing what is about to happen. Over the nexts few months he will become a major player in one of the greatest sporting stories of all time and with a world championship to boot!
Sex , the breakfast of Champions ! RIP James you were the real deal
Very interesting, at 12:30 or so he talks about being close to winning the Championship. How right he was!
now those are some good questions, turns out to be philosophical (working things well is more satisfying than instinctively well) at some point I like it
What a solid guy
It's before Lauda's crash. Lauda's crash was in August while Hunt talks about the Belgian GP having just taken place, which was in May.
Good catch! And the rescinding of Hunt's Spanish Grand Prix win had not yet been reversed.
Rush got it wrong. James is a much more grounded, sensitive and intelligent self aware man, going by this interview, than how it was portrayed in the movie. Case in point. 13:00 onwards.
I agree. The James Hunt of Rush had a pronounced dark side. Actor Hemsworth's portrayal of Hunt was good, to be sure, but Hemsworth himself looked shopworn and was in fact much older than this gorgeous, shining Hunt of 1975
Is there any F1 driver now or the last 20 years, capable of doing an interview like this?
Great movie, great legends.
Great interview! Not too fond of the interviewer! James Hunt was a real legend.
Nice to hear the interviewer (Danny Baker) speaking with his orignal accent.
Alguém, por gentileza, poderia deixar esta entrevista traduzida em legendas na Língua Portuguesa?
Just saw Rush tonight - highly recommended! Thanks for posting this interview - the interviewer, while a bit pretentious, at least let's Hunt speak at length :)
I followed all races of Formula 1 when Niki and James were the most popular drivers and James´death was a shock for me. I also think james would be happy seeing the great Rush.
Can anyone tell/inform me of whether or not this interview occurred before or after Lauda's 1976 crash on Nurburgring???
Thank you.
James is sadly missed.
The last real hero in formula one, the real schoolboys hero
There have been many hero's over time, he may have been the hero of your time but you can't deny that Juan Manuel Fangio wasn't a hero driving at the same speeds with a leather helmet in a bathtub with wheels, or Ayrton Senna taking laps from some of the top 5 drivers in a rainy race!!
Bill Hunter And the ladies crush!
Yeah because Senna was neither of those things.
@Retro Lover - Wow, you should maybe take a tip from El Maestro and learn how to be a gentleman in a tussle. You can voice an opinion without being a twat about it, you know. I actually cannot imagine how disappointed Fangio would be to have one of his fans act in such a way. He was a classy man so why don't you keep his name out of your mouth until you can find a bit of class of your own. Fangio was the greatest to ever compete in this sport and his memory deserves better than your needless childishness.
So intelligent!!!!!
The legend that is James Hunt drove in my opinion that was the golden age of formula 1 sex the breakfast of champions 💪
...smart guy... risky, but smart survival strategy and way more strategic, than I ever expected.....
Fue un grande manejaba como nadie .
7.05 ''The Dutch officials stood there and had a puff on their cigarettes''. That's the 70s for you. Marvelous times.
A gentleman and a good Budgerigar breeder.
some please write the last question he asked...? to which he answered NO " i didnt get that coz of accent . also what was the logic behind his answer ..? thanks
imranbacha he basically asked would he have been so successful if he hadn’t put f1 before family and marriage despite the danger and the risk
Alguém poderia traduzir para o Português?
What a hunk!
MrLetmein2011
He certainly attracted female attention, but sadly did not have long to enjoy it.
neohip I get the impression that he did plenty of enjoying it.
MrLetmein2011 Yes, the interviewer is gorgeous
Guys go see rush and you understand everything about him and niki lauda and i love the movie just amazing
An f1 driver who can communicate…something of a rarity these days when cliches abound.
