How James Hunt won Hesketh's only Grand Prix! 💪 | The Story of Hesketh Racing

Absolutely priceless. They didn't just outwit and outdrive the Ferrari's. They did it when Ferrari was FERRARI!

I was always wondering why there are so few interviews with Lord Hesketh. I Love this! Can't help but absolutely adore an interview with such an erudite man who seems to be incapable of forgetting a single detail. So interesting!

i remember this win . the 1970s were the most entertaining period because of the variety and the shear number of cars entered for a race sometimes 32 starters

There will never be another Lord Hesketh, or James Hunt. The ultimate privateers in so many crazy ways.

I have enjoyed listening 1975 season James Hunt won Heskeths only F1 grand prix.

Always have a special love for Hesketh racing through my family. It was my grandad who did all the sign writing on the cars and my dad regails me in stories of times Bubbles would come over to his fathers house during dinners to converse and vent the frustrations of motorsport with him. F1 will always hold a strong place jn my heart

The ultimate Garagistas 🙂 Such a pity there's no opportunity for small teams in F1 anymore.

I have been following the sport since 1966, and there was something very special that went on between 1972 and 1976. First the cars were beasts, when Cosworths came to have 500 HP, then there was a fascinating variety of "shapes and sizes" and colours on the cars (Lotus, Tyrrell, Ferrari, Brabham), and sponsorship liveries weren't so overwhealming, as in drivers helmets for instance. You could tell drivers apart from a long distance by the helmet liveries, like Cevert from Stewart, or Fittiapdi from Peterson, Sheckter from Revson (today the helmet is plastered in logos, and very confusing graphically, and you hardly ever see them hidden away inside the cockpit - but drivers don't die now... as they did then). All of this to say the Hesketh team was very much a part of this fascinating aspect of those years, and Hunt was the absolutely perfect driver for that team. Fast, flamboyant, and good looking too... ! Sadly, many great drivers who could have driven in that year, like Rindt, died the years prior to that. But, yes, those years were very deadly, and I, as a teenager saw many people die on live Television.

At the end of the day Hesketh hired one of the best F1 car designers, bought the Engines everyone at the top used, and found a driver who was as fast as anyone else in F1... If he'd just monetised it well he could have been a legend... but hey, parties...

Thank you so much or such a superb video. Jense as the interviewer and driving the 308 at Zandvoort was ideal :-]

I just love this era. I still have my Corgi Hesketh from the 70's👍 Epic Era!!

I loved this. Really hoping sky makes more of these historical pieces

Beating Ferrari on strategy seems much easier these days 🤣

When racing drivers were still racing drivers and not mere pilots

Always associate Love Supreme with James Hunt after watching a documentary 'The Real James Hunt' many years ago where it featured prominently. Even used it for his win at Zandvoort in 1975 like here!

Lost a lot of weight. I imagine he has now a healthier life and stopped drinking alcohol. He looks better now than 50 years ago.

More off this please!!!!

😁 this is the second channel I've seen this video on in as many days and it's so interesting I can't help but watch it again.

Amazing. Today 2023!

Thanks enjoyed 😎♥️
