138: James Hunt Was F1's Most Troubled Star

Listen Later

James Hunt is known as the out of control rockstar of F1. At his peak, he was one of the most colorful figures in the history of Grand Prix racing. How did he hit his peak for a legendary season of racing? How did his rivalry with Niki Lauda shape him? And how did his partying and self-destructive behavior eventually cost him… everything? You may think you know James Hunt, but there’s much more to the man than his legendary infamy. Today on Past Gas: James Hunt’s daring, dangerous life and career.
