Some James Hunt quotes;
''This car is absolutely hopeless. It's like driving a wet sponge'' describing his first drive in the McLaren.
''Oi, Depailler! Where did you get your superlicence? Out of a crisp packet?!'' James was not amused after Tyrrell driver Patrick Depailler forced him into a wall in Long Beach.
''I wouldn't worry about your face Niki, you were ugly in the first place!'' After Lauda's firey crash in Germany, James and Niki talked on the phone sometimes up to an hour.
''Mclaren did a spectacularly sloppy job in Spain. They didn't even bother to check the car after the race!'' Can you imagine what would happen if a driver said this about his team nowadays?!
''Bloody Herman! He nobbled me well and truly!'' team mate Mass accidentally knocked Hunt of during the Canadian GP.
''What a load of rubbish!'' James opinion on the first race he commentated on.
''We've got this amazing situation, we're all sitting by the start and finish line waiting for a winner to come past and we don't seem to be getting one.''
Murray: Prost's car is on fire as he goes into the swimming pool!
James: That should put it out then!
''Very stupid driving from Mansell there.''
''And Mansell was very lucky to not be taken off by that RIDICULOUS piece of driving by Alliot who didn't bother looking in his mirrors!''
''The problem with Jarier is that he's a French wally. Always was, and always will be.''
''I think Tambay will be thanking Jarier with a knuckle sandwich after that one. Jarier really is completely out of order. He's got a mental age of 10 in the first place, and it's absolutely disgraceful.''
''Patrese has gone off of his own accord, and you can hear the Italians showing that they prefer cars to people.''
Murray: Berger's car is on fire!
James: No Murray that's his rainlight
''Piquet has got no motivation whatsoever. He's only in F1 to keep his 45 metre yacht afloat.''
''No hurry for the Williams team, just very important to not make a mistake. And thats absolutely fine.......(matter of fact) Oh, and he's lost a wheel.''
''Andrea De Cesaris should really be called De Crasheris. He's smashed up so many cars in testing. He's an embarrasment to himself, his team and the sport, and maybe he should retire''
''And that's the end of Nakajima's race. And we had an excellent view of a fairly undestinguished driving performance, quite honestly.''
Murray: Rene Arnoux says that the reason he's so slow these days is that he's used to turbo cars and naturally aspirated cars are very different to drive. James: All I can say to that is bulls**t!Comment

To me, Murray Walker and James Hunt were one of the joys of sport on TV/radio. (So what if Walker got things mixed up occasionally - that's part of what made him a great character.)Comment

In 2009 when he had a tulip car he was taking things easy. Now he has bad weekend...and every drivers has one of those...and he's going ballistic. The Massa incident was 50/50 I reckon, he should have been let go for that. But the one at the end was very adventurous. He could have avoided the hit by going on the other side of the curb. Be good to see it from the car camera if possible.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
Spock: "Trained? Judging from you, I would have guessed it was trial and error."Comment

Originally posted by centurian View PostYeah, but the chance was blown Saturday lunchtime. Pretty much all the things that happened were as a result of their qualifying strategy. Each problem compounded into another. It was a miracle he even finished 6th, given two drive through penalties and a wrecked rear wing.
At this rate, the championship will be over by August though.Comment
