McLaren poster – James Hunt – Quote

A fantastic pilot !

 

James Hunt is an unusual pilot in the Formula 1 paddocks. Gifted behind a wheel but hothead, the British pilot built his reputation as much as with his victories as with his mischiefs. Great beer amateur, he never wavered in abusing of it the day before a race. He was also a Casonava with a typiccaly british phlegm. During one of his interviews with Sir Stirling Moss who was asking him how he could go so fast despite the new regulations, he answered, laughingly, : »Big Balls !».

 

A Automobilist poster for McLaren.

For James Hunt 's 40^th anniversary win on McLaren during the Formula 1 World Championships, the British manufacturer and Automobilist made a series of 4 posters. On this poster, we face the impressive M23 Cosworth engine. The fidelity of the drawing allows us to enjoy the design and aerodynamism of th single-seaters of that time. We can also read under the car a fmous quote from the pilot wich perfectly resums his temper : »If I get a car on a circuit, I drive as fast as I can, that's it » !
