This is a powerful, moving interview. Lord Hesketh is hardly recognisable today yet his memories of James are precious and engaging. But its Freddie who has the powerful, emotive presence. A striking likeness to his dad is only enhanced by a similar hair style. Freddie breaking down at the end would move the hardest of people.

Mika had the same presence of mind to shift the interview or the situation into another direction, same here as during that Monza press conference where Michael got too emotional to speak, same here with Freddie. Mika instantly recognised that things got too emotional and he initiated the shift onto something else instead. Very good on Mika's part, big respect. I guess it's a northern european thing, it's bottling up emotions rather than letting them out. I can relate

There will only ever be one James Hunt, those that were lucky to see him race will always remember him, myself included. Freddie, your Dad is still in many peoples hearts. Your Dad was a hero, you have so much to be proud of.

One of the last true gentleman drivers!!!

James Hunt lived more in 45 years than many could do in 10 lifetime's.

Nice of him to have acknowledged Prost. It's outrageous how often he's completely overlooked in discussions of the greatest drivers of all time. The guy beat Piquet, Mansell, and Senna in equal or similar machinery.

4:36 This would be an amazing prediction if it wasn’t so obvious. I said this in Max’s first season and I’m no expert. Some things are just bleedin’ obvious.

this comment is an aside to the video...........i think the extreme persecution of tobacco.........much stricter attitudes to drink driving.............harsh speed restrictions in everyones lives with 20 mph speed limits speed cameras & speed humps & huge volumes of traffic.........has not helped Formula 1 in the modern era..........although the carbon fibre monocoque greatly improved safety.........more technology doesn't make the sport more exciting..........i think there's a lot to be said for a more American style of racing with simpler technology & simpler cars for the SPORT...........the state of the real world doesn't help ...........nor does the confusion over electric vehicles & growing concern over fossil fuels...........for me personally the seventies was the heyday..........the '80's & 90's were great too..........i was once a huge fan.........these days i just don't feel the same way about it...........

Is this voiced by David Hayter?

More than moving…

Moving…

The gold looks a bit naff.

He misses his dad, i wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Blimey, the end got me, wasn't expecting that best wishes to Freddie. RIP James.

Sir Jackie elocquent ,consise as ever, sat in his racing car Tyrrell no. 5 adged 12 , it later won the Monaco Grand Prix.

In this day and age James Hunt would dominate. They basically run automatic transmissions now, he can just concentrate on where the best place to put the car for the best time

imagine growing up without ur famous dad and u looking like his twin

Mika has the greatest Finnish voice I’ve ever heard, love hearing him talk and what a driver he was too, I miss the days when the great Michael Schumacher who’s my hero fight with Mika

Men of the moment , James Hunt and Barry Sheene, couldn’t have been done without the likes of Lord Hesketh too 🙌🏻🇬🇧

Wow fantastic interview 👌🏻😎

Mika 👌🏻😎

Happy to hear bernie say prost was the best. Thats always been my opinion

A brilliant description of LeMans, and Derrick Bell looking OK, glad he survived!

Hunt the shunt. Hell of a shoe.

Fantastic video. Top drawer as they say. Saw James practice, qualify and race at the USGP West at Long Beach. A true sportsman and excellent driver. He is greatly missed.

Freddie: ah the budgies! Budgerigars Mika: what do you call them? Freddie: budgerigars Mika: b o d y g u a r d s 🤠

That was moving; his son breaking down over the fathere he barely knew.

Lord Alexander Hesketh had the privilege of having James Hunt in his Formula 1 Team... Very well said here & much appreciated ! James Hunt belongs in the Legends of F1 History - Motor racing & British F1 Drivers..His personality was unique...

Probably a scam

Mika is & always will be a class act.

We will never see the likes of these people again, England/Britain is finished!

Gotta love Bernie! Was big F1 fan, after gangstaman 'Amilton brought politics in to it, no more!

Would it be fair to say that Hunt as a racing driver is at the same level of the likes of Jacky Ickx, Ronnie Peterson, Rene Arnoux, Carlos Reutemann, Didier Pironi and Juan Pablo Montoya all of which never won a WC? Hunt: 10 wins, 14 poles, 8 fastest laps, 23 podiums Ickx: 8 wins, 13 poles, 14 fastest laps, 25 podiums Peterson: 10 wins, 14 poles, 9 fastest laps, 26 podiums Arnoux: 7 wins, 18 poles, 12 fastest laps, 22 podiums Reutemann: 12 wins, 6 poles, 6 fastest laps, 45 podiums Montoya: 7 wins, 13 poles, 12 fastest laps, 30 podiums Pironi had a terrible accident when he was on route of being WC for sure in 1982 with Ferrari. Of course sir Stirling Moss was the best of all of those who never won a WC. For me Moss was quite arguably one of the best 10 racing drivers of all times.

Lovely to hear Freddie refere to Barry Sheene as just Barry. Both hero's gone way too soon. Freddie seems to be a lovely guy.

Brilliant job, Freddie.

Freddie looks exactly like his father

Superstar

Jackie is the ultimate corporate suck ball.

nice purple rinse on Bernies hair like an old woman

Bernie Ecclestone - is he a famous hairdresser then ?

Oh that's just lovely. James was a brilliant brilliant driver - nobody should ever make a mistake about or forget that.

Freddie broke down crying at the end of the interview. Deeply affecting,

Wow this is such an insightful interview!

This is gold!

2:45 birds

fun to go back and watch after the year Blu is having!

Freddie looks just like his dad.

I lost my dad when I was 9. I still remember him and his voice. I still talk to him. He and mum both got me in to motor racing and they both liked James.

Wonderful to see this. I do hope that James Hunt’s son is able to gain insight into what his father was like thru these interviews. Certainly he loved his son very much and was taken from his life much too soon. We all miss him.

This aged well! And was so well made 👌
