I doubt he would have done anything differently Bob......................................

faster that Lauda,cooler than Steve McQueen and just an all round top bloke

 

A rather contentious point I feel Saab. James Hunt only won the championship because Niki Lauda was out for 6 weeks after his horrendous crash. I think Lauda was the real hero, even though he "chickened-out" of Japanese GP and Hunt got the three points he needed. What did hunt achieve after that? Lauda went onto to win the Championship the next year and another one a few years after that, but we won't dwell on that, since it was with another team.

Obviously you know I'm heavily biased towards Ferrari

 

I love the George Best quote 'I spent a lot of money on birds, booze and fags. The rest I just wasted'

 

maybe so Dev,but imho,Hunt was a naturally faster driver than Lauda

 

None of that matters, Mr Hunt was just pretty dam cool.

 

Cooler than....



Mmmm....sort of gotta disagree there

 

a score draw at best for McQueen

Steve McQueen may well have ponced about on old bike,and admittedly looked pretty cool doing it,but he didn't slide a Bedford van full of budgies around roundabouts
