World Champion Formula One: 1976 James Hunt was an iconic British Formula One racing driver who won the Formula One World Championship in 1976, he was known for his great but dangerous racing, his rivalry with Nikki Lauda and his playboy lifestyle. James hunt began his F1 racing career in 1973 with the Hesketh Racing team and soon became known for his reckless and action-packed exploits on track, this earned him the nickname "Hunt the Shunt". He went on to win for Hesketh, driving their own Hesketh 308 car, before joining the McLaren team at the end of 1975. In his first year with McLaren, Hunt won the 1976 World Drivers' Championship, and he remained with the team for a further two years, although with less success, before moving to the Wolf team in early 1979. Following a string of races in which he failed to finish, Hunt retired from driving halfway through the 1979 season. Hunt died from a heart attack aged 45. He was inducted into the Motor Sport Hall of Fame on 29 January 2014.
