*Is it just me, or is matt putting on a British accent, on top of his own British accent?*

[@fionncrowe5228]

Just you mate

[@AviationWithAbrar]

Peter Marais I think he is

[@jacob.a795]

yeah, he is

[@outremer91]

That's the Queen's english

[@android_4420]

Definitely some embellishing going on here. He even switches to a pretty good Sean Connery-esque Scottish accent for a few seconds around 0:55. But a great vid.

The story of James hunt the play boy of the 70s

[@vale.antoni]

McLaren Tooned already did that ;)

[@gbyrne03]

Emanuel Davy I don’t think what he was up to is KZbin friendly 😂

[@roelfrizzle]

try to imagine that before he died, he slept with close to 5000 women. Even Ron Jeremy is jalous :)

James Hunt being a MI6 agent as a side job

[@Astrostevo]

Didn't they already make thr whole 'Rush' movie about that? Well that and Niki Lauda and the whole 1976 ttile fight?

Can't believe he didn't mention the most recent case of when Will Smith kidnapped Hamilton

It's true. Fangio was kidnapped and subsequently released.

I found this story summer last year. What was goofy was that Fangio became friends with his kidnappers afterwards.

OMG! This was absolutely hilarious!!

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

Jackie Stewart's story of the time Graham Hill saved his life at the Spa GP. He ended up naked (his clothes had been saturated by petrol) and of course, with his moustache, Hill looked like a Victorian villain. There's stories of nuns bring surprised and other things. If you can track down the story the way he told it (I think it was on a TV programme about Hill or those! dangerous years of F1. Pretty certain it was the former), it's hilarious!

[@nephlimjedi4741]

This is an amusing thing and also useful for fans during a winter break that's taking too long.

[@alexizaguirrediaz3837]

When you already know this story because of the podcast, but you still watch the video because is a good story.
