great book of James Hunt-- he dived into blazing Schumacher crashed car --- released his seatbelt
& hauled him to safety ___ very brave burning car could have exploded at any time

The Encyclopedia of F 1 is great value book also for only £4 instead of £20- details of all F 1
Syon Park garden centre is home of Duke of Northumberland by the river Thames nr RICHMOND {London}
Lord Hesketh also associated with the manor house attached

well you inspired me to buy 2 books ___ Encyclopedia of F1 ++ James Hunt story
The local garden Centre Syon Park West London on our doorstep
is selling both for £4 each instead of £20 each --wonderful Xmas present
Didn't know Viulleneuve was virtually killed by team mate Pironi {didn't he have seat belt ?? }
both beautiful illustrated books with details + photos of all F 1 drivers
James Hunt died of heart attack 15 yrs ago we read --- Both very sad events

Didier Pironi was a pretty good pilot - always exciting to watch.

Haha, could not resist, just disappointed that there weren’t more people disagreeing with me!

I think James Hunt (as well as two others) saved Ronnie Peterson and not Schumacher. Sadly he still died over stupid circumstances (peterson).

Have just read the last sentence Elsy - and we're on for that punch-up after all !!!

GOt to be Sir Stirling Moss - perhaps if he hadn't been such a gentleman he'd have cliched it a good many times.

Incidently - How can it be just luck that Lewis won; however, any winner aways needs to be lucky. But Lewis has been leading the chamionship for most of the 2 years he's been in F1 despite having wins taken off him and rediculous penalties from the FIA.

hi Julie
sorry i'm really ignorant --- WHAT happened to James Hunt please ?

I've been out of touch now i'm 60 yrs old this year after family duties filled my time

If you have time please update me about brave star character JAMES -----THANKS

Chris Amom was a great driver and won a non championship race at either Brands or Silverstone, and what about Francoise Cevert? It has to be Rubins though.

T H A N K S to julie we hope dear ALONSO can be champ again next year if Renault provide 4 HIM

The very fact that James Hunt stopped to save the life of Schumacher trapped in his blazing car
marks him out as an exceptional super character to be cherished & remembered

pam_wallis60: Read the article. If memory serves me right the "babe magnet of industrial strength" Mr James Hunt slipped and skided to the world championship in Japan (1976). The conditions were so bad Niki Lauder refused to race, but James was hungry and brave enough to go for it. Tragic loss, much too young.

i) Has to Stirling Moss.
ii) Until you are good enough to challenge them please do not talk about a worst driver to be champion. They are all a lot better than any of us in here.
Why do so many people continually put these guys down?

no doubts best of all we LOVED James Hunt in the era of the real amateur -MONEY ment nothing
only success fun & enjoyment none too TOO tu serious

WIN or lose he was a champion character who knew how to enjoy life & success
failure in one race was simply a spur to the next
Those happy days have long gone unfortunately with so much automation

plus he alone saved the life of Schumacher when he was trapped in his burning crashed car
thanks to james he only has severe scars to display and not missing limbs

BRAVO to a true star CHAMPION

Ooh Elsy, surely not?

I think Rubens Barrichello coz he is really nice and also Jacky Ickx. My husband thinks also Rubens Barrichello and if he was not always Number 2 to Michael Schumacher he could have won the championship. But I don't mind because Schumacher is my idol.
