🇬🇧 James Hunt

James Hunt was an established professional racing driver who competed in Formula 1 from 1973 to 1979, driving primarily for McLaren across 93 starts. He won the 1976 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship with the team and took 10 victories and 23 podium finishes across his seven seasons in the sport.[1]

Hunt raced consistently against elite and established professionals throughout his career. He was closely matched with Carlos Reutemann, an elite professional who started 146 Grands Prix, and with Jody Scheckter, the 1979 Formula 1 champion who competed in 112 races. He also finished ahead of Jackie Stewart, a three-time world champion, though only once in their meetings. His form declined in his final season; he completed seven rounds in 1979 and finished 16th in the championship standings before retiring from the sport.[2]
