James Hunt celebrates winning the 1977 United States Grand Prix with a beer and cigarette, sitting on his McLaren M26 with Penthouse Pet of the Year Victoria Lynn Johnson. Hunt kept his cool in the wet conditions and won the race by 2 seconds, despite a late charge by Mario Andretti (Lotus) who eventually had to settle for second place, with Jody Scheckter (Wolf) finishing third. Niki Lauda came home in fourth place which was enough to secure him his second World Drivers’ Championship.

Niki Lauda’s charred and melted helmet after his horrific crash at the 1976 German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring. What makes Niki a legend is that after the crash, he only missed two races and appeared at the Italian GP at Monza six weeks later to win fourth place. F1 journalist, Nigel Roebuck, recalls seeing Niki in the pits peeling blood-soaked bandages off his scalp. Chilling. Via: @nikilauda312
James Hunt decides to explore the cockpit of Niki Lauda’s Ferrari 312T2 ahead of the 1976 Monaco Grand Prix, which Niki did not seem too thrilled about. As Lauda had won 3 of the first 5 races that season, you really can’t blame Hunt for wanting to take a closer look. Despite their fierce rivalry on track, practical jokes like these were common between Hunt and Lauda and their relationship was always marked by friendship and respect.
Niki would go on to win the race from pole position while Hunt retired from the race with an engine issue. Lauda’s Ferrari teammate Clay Regazzonifinished second and Ronnie Peterson finished third for March.
How would modern day F1 react to Lewis Hamilton jumping into Sebastian Vettel’s Ferrari?
