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.

2 Legends that are missed hugely, Murray Walker and James Hunt.

There will never be another Hesketh (team). It’s quite remarkable that there was even one.

[@MegaTechnology2012]

Packing so much into such a short life . I loved watching James hunt . for me he was one of the best as Barry Sheene was on a super bike. great men who put so very much into two great sports. I miss them both .

[@RobertEHunt-dv9sq]

Fantastic video. James and Hesketh brought real charisma to F1 the likes of which we don’t see anymore. Hunt’s talents behind the wheel showed he had the panache in car control. A fun guy and great driver and experienced commentator . He is missed sorely. Thank you Murray for the tribute and God Bless you both. Hesketh what a great team.

We had and have all this incredibly good drivers in the history of F1, but, for me, the ones who stand out the most and just shine are Jackie Stewart, James Hunt and, of course Ayrton Senna.

[@SimonJohn67]

The legendary James Hunt who literally used to blow his own trumpet...

[@damonmbk]

thanks

[@Rjsworlduk]

true legend total shock when he died true brit

[@flipsidedogchop]

great vid... rip

[@jgsoerli]

Hard to say. The scene at 3:48 is definately from Silverstone, but it is possible that the next scene is from another race/circuit. But if the scenes from 3.40 to 3:50 are from the same race, my guess would be the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on July 19, 1975. The scene with James Hunt's no24 Hesketh must be from '74 or '75, but the British Grand Prix in '74 was at Brands Hatch. Another possibilities are the International Trophy races at Silverstone on April 7,1974 or April 13, 1975.

James burnt very bright,but brief.One of the most charismatic racing drivers ever

[@quasiphatpaul]

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

[@samthompson7821]

they really did share one mic

[@sonicstep]

07:50, that was really quite an endorsement from such a rival. 😳

[@Vorgaloth]

What happened to part 2?

[@luckyskystalker1]

can anyone tell me the name of the funny song used?

[@Basetornado]

Listening to Lauda was amazing in this

[@mudchair16]

Always nice to see Englishman who actually look English

[@SFTaYZa]

You should see what they call English these days

[@IAmSoMuchBetterThanYou]

Again please, but in English this time.

[@GloriousRed1]

The gear stick came off hhahaa

[@SanderKamp]

(I disagree) listening to Senna describing James tells me they just had a lot of similarities, even though they where very different persons.

[@IAmSoMuchBetterThanYou]

@52gooner Amen to that.

[@Sortsylic]

How about Gilles?

[@IAmSoMuchBetterThanYou]

Who is?

[@VinuraVinura]

glass of milk eh...that was a smart.
