"I admire people who can admit when they are wrong" - Well, it was more of a half-hearted apology. All he did was state his initial assessment of the incident was harsh in attributing blame to Senna. He didn't absolve Senna of it. Hunt also said "I still maintain ... he [Senna] could have avoided it".
There will never be another a James Hunt. He was "carefree" back in his day, but he was a very lucid man. So sad he died so young, because his opinion would still be, today, so very interesting, and so enlightened as always. And the contrast with Murray Walker was most interesting, like 100 years apart.
Around the outside is standard by many drivers esp. if their car is faster & handles better... Amazes me when a car goes around the outside & overtakes into the corner they get the blame for an accident... The car behind should be yielding...
@@thepsychologist8159it’s a race, why the hell would you yield if you’re getting over taken. It’s the overtakers responsibility to make a pass cleanly and smoothly without incident. Like the original comment stated, it was a stupid move by the moustache man. He should have just waited till the straight.
Well I've never driven a F1 car but from my experience of my brother working for Ferrari and also the fact that I've been to 48 grand Prix during my life time . And also following F1 since 78 I'd have to say that there is a place going into that particular bend when you can overtake if you hug the left outside kerb . But on that particular occasion Nigel got it wrong . Nigel turned in . It's a very strange accident where maybe both guys should have some blame
Or, Senna could have just let Mansell pass before the corner. As Hunt said "I still maintain ... he [Senna] could have avoided it". - Take the example of the recent Chinese GP. Alonso got the jump on Perez however Alonso knew his battle wasn't with Perez on the day and let him pass before the corner. If Senna had done the same thing, he would have avoided any chance of a collision.
The Brit fanbois blame Senna for every crash Mansell and Senna ever had - when in fact Mansell caused almost ALL of them - Adelaide 85 and Brazil 86 were 50/50 - racing incidents - but otherwise Mansell was at fault EVERY SINGLE TIME!
Reminds me of Zandvoort when Andretti tried to go round the outside of Hunt at Tarzan around 1977. They collided and blamed each other. Hunt complained that Andretti shouldn't be trying to overtake on the outside of a corner and Andretti said he would overtake anywhere. Hunt can be seen giving Colin Chapman an earful after the incident. Chapman wisely avoided a verbal confrontation.
Well, to be fair on Andretti he did take a wide berth on that corner and the incident wouldn't have occurred had it not been for Hunt not leaving space on the exit. The similarity here is, Hunt got the jump off the start like Senna did at Spa but he was in a slower car that was eventually going to be overtaken. Hunt should have realized that and should have let Andretti pass at a time that would not have disadvantage either driver, not fight a position he was never going to keep. Like Senna should have done at Spa.
@@AlanMcB Mansell is one of the biggest morons in the history of the sport. I recall Murray stating that he had something bad to say about his then teammate Riccardo Patrese. And that Patrese was one of the nicest racers ever. Basically stating that the problem was Mansell. I also heard he was very hard to get along with. I recently seen footage of him using the F word against his Williams pit crew. The late Barry Sheene interviewed him when he moved to the U.S. and asked him why he didn't move to Australia like Barry himself. He got offended over the question and stated, "Because your there", whilst shaking his head in anger with a frown on his face. There was nothing sinister with the question. There was afew other bad responses he gave which I can't recall now.

@@thepsychologist8159 yes , it would be best if Senna hit the brakes , so that Mansell could more easily pass, common. Highly idiotic move by Mansell, you dont pass people in that corner , perhaps backmarkers.

these 2 are just pure gold dust
hunt yes Walker no ,such an irritating commentator ,right up there with croft anf kravitz
I admire people who can admit when they are wrong.
Especially when they do it without being pressured.

Thank you. Now let me get back to my girls on the yacht
RIP James and Murray. They were like chalk and cheese, but a fine commentary duo 👍
They where the days Proper racing and a lifestyle to die for
James hunt was a magnet for chicks!
Great driver battles and great commentators. Oh for those great days of F1 to be back again.
And bring back 80's f1 engines!

I do hope we don't get Guenther Steiner wearing this on RTL in China
Why not?
"ANIAGREEWITHEVERYWORDHESAYS"
Lol James Hunt with a Kevin Keegan hair cut.😁
it takes a big man to admit when he is wrong, i am not a big man
Stupid move by Mansell - that Williams was so superior to the Lotus. Why didn’t he just wait till the long straight after Eau Rouge?

Because he is Nigel Mansell

The camera angle for that incident not the best
💕
Bizarre, sounds like Senna collared him in the pits afterwards and gave him a jolly good ear bending..

Walker blaming mansel,at last.well i never
I know the guy who posted this!
I remember the comment live race day. I also heard that mansell attacked senna over this incident in the pits. Is that true?
Yep. I think Mansell grabbed Senna by the neck or something.
