If I was Zak Brown, I'd let Freddie do a showrun of his dad's 1976 Mclaren at Silverstone since Freddie is a decent driver and a showrun like that could raise Freddie's profile a bit...👀
I mean this sounds like an incredible idea to us… Would be amazing. Be drove one of his dads cars at Silvo before but would be amazing if we could make that happen this year. Lets hope some magic happens haha
I remarked such before I found your post. I think we need to ask Ron Dennis what he knows. He was pretty keen to do well on the McLaren brand, and he went to great lengths. Proper Bond Villan personality. Who'd put it past him?
He sounds so much like his father that it feels like we are talking to his father. I only know what I've seen in videos and going back and watching the older races when James was commentating with Murray but still. Thanks very much lads for this podcast, it was fascinating! Thanks Freddie for being on and providing us with videos and pictures :D! He seems incredibly down to earth and is very funny as well.
Amazing comment. Thank you so much for writing to us. We love hearing from you guys. This was a special one to edit took us 3 days and Freddie was amazing providing pics and videos to really bring this to life. So excited to follow his journey and hope for Le Mans 2026! Glad you enjoyed! Appreciate it:)
Hearing freddy talk about the pressure and his natural talent reminds me of his dad SO MUCH. Ive watched pretty much every race James had and he was a nervous wreck b4 races. BUT once the flag dropped he seemed completely focused amazing natural talent. Too bad Freddy didnt reach his potential
The resemblance to his dad his just uncanny, what a top bloke by the sounds of it Freddie is too! Iv absolutely no doubt that if he does start to get himself out there on social media and TH-cam etc etc he will definitely get sponsors onboard faster than he realises!
Man James was something else. Hemsworth only took about 10% of Hunt just like any actor would EXCEPT Daniel day lewis Hemsworth missed that in order for James to get away with his antics he was incredibly charming and carasmatic. People wanted to be around him
This is the first of your podcasts that I have watched and I love how you gus let the guest talk rather than push the conversation too hard. Loved the farm bit at the start. Man was passionate about his home and you let him share while being completed interest. Great job lads!
Jonathan. Thank you for the comment. So special for us to hear from those who watch. Really enjoyed editing this episode and meeting Freddie. What an amazing guy. Hope to see you back here for another episode soon:)
@@PitstopPodcast Please don't mention about the 'Plandemic'. Some of us know about viruses and who and how many they affected. If you feel affronted, then kindly remove my comments, thank you.
This was a wonderful episode lads, Freddie has so much charisma and he's such a lovely character. Wish the best for him and really was incredible to hear about his father from him.
This is one of the best interviews ive ever seen. What a great humble bloke Freddie is and the Pitstop interviewers are brilliant. I was a film extra on Rush and to be amongst the old F1 cars was fantastic. Superb podcast, thanks so much
Brilliant interview guys,found it fascinating. What an admirable guy Freddie is,he's managed to get where he is the hard way,no silver platter left for him. Would be amazing if he does Le Mans 2026 .Thanks again guys,loved it!
FABULOUS! Thank you for having invited one who is obviously talented, has great visions in matter of sustainability, and is, by all means, extremely deserving of the genes and heredity that was bestowed [and instilled] in him. For those of my generation who witnessed, who epitomized what is almost surely the last of the ''Gentlemen Racing Team'' ever with Lord Hesketh, repeating the feat already attained before by Ken Tyrrell, transforming a regular March F1 to a top contender racing car
Really Great show... glad to watch and get to know a bit about Freddie Hunt.... I wish him the best.... gave a Like and subscribed... and Freddie you have a New Fan across the Pond !!!
It's crazy to me how genetic some skills are. This guy got into a race car for the first time within a year of getting his driver's license, has never done karting before, and was faster than most of the field. It's insane. Also, he's such a genuine person. I understand what he means when he says his dad was innocent and humble, because here he is, quite literally bragging how fast he is and dissing his competition by calling them slow, and I don't feel an ounce of ill will from his words. He's just saying it how it is.
Thanks so much! We’ve only been going for a year so we’re still learning the ropes but we love this little show we’ve got going on! Cheers for watching
I see a lot of James in him as though he's the one doing the interview Also sad that a lot of crucial things were changed in the movie Rush is one of my favorite movies of all time and I still liked James Hunt's character better even though as his son says Chris Hemsworth's performance wasn't accurate And kuddos to Daniel Bruhl his performance of Nikki was impeccable!
Yeah I’m not being funny, but when your 5 you see your parents as saints. They aren’t exactly gonna tell you about the shit you used to get up to. I’m not saying he’s wrong, maybe they did change loads, and maybe it wasn’t accurate. But I’m sure his memory of his father is different in some ways
@@liamjames2956 yeah I agree Also I went and watched the full interview, 2 of the closest people to his dad were present during the shootings so the producers did care after all
@@liamjames2956 I think everyone misunderstood Freddie on meaning Hemsworth completely missed the TONE of James. He used to be a quiet, timid, not outgoing and brash fella. It's a very different from Hemswroth's take. And I heartily agree. After having read Donaldsson's bio, as well as seeing countless interviews on TH-cam, I think I perfectly understand where Freddie's coming from.
I was at the race at Brands that they told the public James could not restart.... they did went ballistic and yes all what Freddie said is bang on! still got the paddock pass... was £8.- that time...
It was a pleasure to race against Freddie in Zandvoort as he mentioned. Refreshing to see his plans for Le Mans aligning with the current reality of endurance racing. A lot of people underestimate how quick and awesome these latest LMP3 cars really are.
Above all, what a nice man Freddie seems to be. Head screwed on, cares about the environment, wants a tranqil life - that is the dream and his father would, no doubt, be immensely proud.
until.i saw this podcast l had mo.idea Freddie hunt existed. you are the image of ur late great father james . which l followed many years ago. what a character loved his lifestyle wine ,& women .what mans man gonna follow ur progress from now on all the best Freddie. hunt.
The fisical similarities with his dad AND how he describes driving his dad's car like he said "in anger" and him wanting to push even in a demo race really messes with my mind because i know he is not James, but you can "see" Hunt senior in him... does that make sense?
He's a natural racer but doesnt like the pressure. Interesting guy, spitting image of his dad. Another check mark for him is a wild life guy. I can appreciate that
Freddie was just a little kid when James died, him saying his dad was humble is complete bullshit. Everyone that has ever talked about James said the same thing, he was an arrogant and a cocky guy. The dude was sleeping around and living the life. I know he is biased towards his dad, its understandable, but people need to realize Hemsworth did an outstanding job, even Lauda commented on it and said it was spot on.
100% his memories are based on what he’s been told and is recollecting not on physical memories at 5 you would have no understanding of reading a persona or personality
That hour flew by. So good to see that the famous son is so much more than just a shadow of his famous parent. Hope you do keep supporting his efforts, both on track and the conservation efforts.
Being James Hunts son must be cooler then being Michael schumacher's son or Graham Hills son but has for how Chris Hemsworth portrayed James Hunt I would have thought Nikki Lauda was one of the best people to know him which is why he was consulted while making Rush.
The irony of hearing someone with his surname and clear hunger and talent to drive struggling for sponsorship and funding to go racing depicts exactly where motorsport is going wrong. It is the most elitist sport in the world and the spectators and the sport are suffering because of it. Every season that goes by motorsport becomes less relatable and in my opinion as a motorsport fan it becomes more predictable and less engaging. I had to give up at 15 because the lad who donated me kart chassis and parts graduated to single seaters, and for a lad from a single parent household struggling to make ends meet that was the end of that. Most other sports embrace talent and scouting talent and motorsport could learn a thing or two from them. Ultimately any sport becomes successful because of the talent competing, football, boxing, American football and athletics as examples hit peaks when they uncover a superstar, not when they field competitors brought forward by cheque books. Incredible content and a fascinating watch lads.
Vous ressemblez à votre papa !!!! Nous avions une " PASSION " commune......AYRTON !!!!! Disparu à seulement quelques mois, l'un de l'autre !!!!!!! Bien à vous !!!!!!!
Freddie are you still going to give Hemsworth a slap , I saw on the shorts you were bleeding about his process , but you should have given him a spray at the time , not ten years later.
GOOD LOOKING GEEZER REMEMBER 76 HIS DAD LEGEND NOT LIKE TODAY'S BUMBACLUTS MUMMY'S BOYS AND GIRLS NOT YOU GUYS FABULOUS INTERVIEW HIS OLD MAN WOULD BE MADE UP MORE OF THE SAME PLEASE 🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️❤️🤣🌴🏴 I LOVE FRED HE IS FEKIN BOSS SADNESS JAMES DIED SO YOUNG MY POPS WAS ONLY 57 WHEN HE WENT 34 YEARS AGO THE SAME DAY THE BERLIN WALL CAME DOWN ❤️

Why would Zak Brown give a shit about raising Freddie’s profile?
lol zak brown do something like that?
Freddie is as close to a clone of his dad he can be without being his dad it’s insane, what a guy love him
Such a top bloke. Glad you enjoyed the episode we will defo be following Freddie and hopefully going to see the farm in Scotland soon!
A cocky arrogant person like his father minus any talent. What's not to dislike?
I remarked such before I found your post. I think we need to ask Ron Dennis what he knows. He was pretty keen to do well on the McLaren brand, and he went to great lengths. Proper Bond Villan personality. Who'd put it past him?
Dont usually comment but what an incredible guy Freddie is
Ahh he’s so class right!!
Shoutout Freddie for providing us with so many great pics and videos to really bring this together! Thanks mate
Absolute legend Freddie👏🏼👏🏼

This. And that makes it extra baffling that Freddie's not dragged from one billionaire party to the other.
Hearing freddy talk about the pressure and his natural talent reminds me of his dad SO MUCH. Ive watched pretty much every race James had and he was a nervous wreck b4 races. BUT once the flag dropped he seemed completely focused amazing natural talent. Too bad Freddy didnt reach his potential
Yet ;)
The resemblance to his dad his just uncanny, what a top bloke by the sounds of it Freddie is too!
Iv absolutely no doubt that if he does start to get himself out there on social media and TH-cam etc etc he will definitely get sponsors onboard faster than he realises!
From hearing him, there’s something that makes me believe had he been racing from the age of 4 or 5 he could’ve been one of the best even right now
He was SO quick on the sim.. Lets push for Le Mans 2026!!
Thank you!
I'm not an avid F1 fan. This was fascinating. Great storyteller and a standup guy to boot.
Thanks so much! Proper class guest, thanks for commenting mate!
Thank you, from a non motorsport fan, that meant a lot 😊
Holy crap!! He has no idea that he has a lot about him which has memory of James flooding back. The mannerisms!!
I was driving through central district in Hong Kong when the BBC reported James had passed away. I cried some tears for him. Gone way too young.
So candid and unfiltered. Classic Hunt!
Glad you enjoyed! Cheers

I never sit through an hour interview but this one was special, a great addition to the human race
At 1.0x speed, no less!
I wish you well Freddie in all that you do.
yet another brilliant podcast from you guys! Freddie is such an interesting person
Thanks so much mate. This was a really great one! FREDDIE ON THE SIM🤯
'Against All Odds' is a great read about the '76 season. Totally authentic and typically 'just James'. Great interview.

Fascinating interview. Complicated but genuine character with a heart and appears a gentleman. ❤
Entertaining and moving in equal measure and he is so much like his father it’s incredible. What a great watch this was!
Great Interview, It was our pleasure to have him with us last year in Quebec for our project.
This was a wonderful episode lads, Freddie has so much charisma and he's such a lovely character. Wish the best for him and really was incredible to hear about his father from him.
I love the pod guys, such a belter of an episode. What a man Freddie is. Just like his Father, Humble and honest af.
Cheers! Really appreciate the comment. Love this episode and glad you do too! Thanks so much

Well that made me cry
In the moment it was very emotional
First time I've come across your channel and loved it. Thank you for such a great interview.
Brilliant work guys!!! Excited to see what is next :)

Great interview and Freddie what a great guy.
You embrace your fathers legacy, Freddy. Thank you
You guys are so good. Loving it. Such an underrated channel.
Brilliant. Listening to Freddie was really eye opening.

Wow what a great interview .Freddie Hunt all the greatest luck getting 2026 Le mans. Spit of Dad insane .Will be looking out for you ...Thankyou.
what a lovely bloke, best of luck on the racing
Even though Freddie hunt isn’t in F1 at all, he has his dad’s love of racing and competitive part as in any kind of sports
Give this man some land - what a humanitarian! Netflix, I hope you're watching. Loved listening to this pod!!!
Man, this dude I can get on board with. I get a real no bs speaking his honest mind. Support.
Great interview! You guys deserve more subs!
Thanks so much! We’ve only been going for a year so we’re still learning the ropes but we love this little show we’ve got going on! Cheers for watching
@@PitstopPodcast My pleasure guys! The guests you’re getting already are 🔥 looking forward to supporting and watching this channel grow, lets go!
I friggin loved this!!
I see a lot of James in him as though he's the one doing the interview
Also sad that a lot of crucial things were changed in the movie
Rush is one of my favorite movies of all time and I still liked James Hunt's character better even though as his son says Chris Hemsworth's performance wasn't accurate
And kuddos to Daniel Bruhl his performance of Nikki was impeccable!
The issue is Freddie was 5 when he passed, must be hard to remember what someone was like losing them at they age.
Yeah I’m not being funny, but when your 5 you see your parents as saints. They aren’t exactly gonna tell you about the shit you used to get up to.

Another amazing episode 😀
Can we have Andretti on the pod someday?
Thanks so much! We will see what we can do… Next guest on Saturday!! Filming tomorrow👀
Not going to lie guys wasn't a massive fan last time I watched but good job lately hats off🎩👌👌
Thank you 🙏🏽 we're constantly learning and trying to better ourselves. Appreciate your support!
He's a natural racer but doesnt like the pressure. Interesting guy, spitting image of his dad. Another check mark for him is a wild life guy. I can appreciate that
45:09 the epitome of his father XD
Of anyone would take the effort to listen to another for an hour, they'd find most people are remarkable.
The Pitstop boys aren't experts on F1, but they are experts on choosing guests
Lets goooo Jasper🔥
What a fine fellow he is.
He sounds like his dad
Haha! Such a great guy. Hope you liked the episode
Hay guys. Maybe show the whole sim lap? great pod
amazing how he has some of the same mannerism of James
This guy oozes class
If I didn’t know any better I’d of thought someone has just done a James Hunt deep fake. It’s incredible how close he looks to his dad.
Freddie was just a little kid when James died, him saying his dad was humble is complete bullshit. Everyone that has ever talked about James said the same thing, he was an arrogant and a cocky guy. The dude was sleeping around and living the life. I know he is biased towards his dad, its understandable, but people need to realize Hemsworth did an outstanding job, even Lauda commented on it and said it was spot on.

I would love to have seen him in f 1
You guys are amusing, without a doubt. In a playing peekaboo with a baby or teasing a cat with a laser pointer kind of way.
🤣🤣 hope that’s a good thing!!
❤❤😍 great driver and great person
Glad you enjoyed!!!
James hunt live fast die young legend
Seb has one of Nigel's 92 FW14.
That hour flew by. So good to see that the famous son is so much more than just a shadow of his famous parent. Hope you do keep supporting his efforts, both on track and the conservation efforts.
Freddie looks related to Garand Thumb
What a cool guy. Shame he didnt get into karting at a young age. Sounds like he could have been one of the great 2nd generation f1 drivers
A drought in Scotland? My goodness. Miracles really do happen.
Do the BARC endorse the taking of Diazepam? Just ass -king for a fiend. Freddie!?
Solo mountaineering rocks!
Son of a racing driver, assumed he be an arrogant tit, but enjoyed his stories. Seems a decent lad and hope he does well!
No one tell Matt LMAO
Dude was 6 when dad died, for sure can't remember too much details about that time, let alone about the skills of his father.
What doe the sea horse mean?
Legend!
Really really is! Hope you enjoyed this one👊🏻
Honestly this one was a smoker. You guys are really starting to come into your own. Can’t wait for the next guest boys!
Being James Hunts son must be cooler then being Michael schumacher's son or Graham Hills son but has for how Chris Hemsworth portrayed James Hunt I would have thought Nikki Lauda was one of the best people to know him which is why he was consulted while making Rush.
Those shirts are above my limit. $1,000. A few thousand for a dress.
30:00 thats typical of Howards movies.
Freddie has to meet a New Sibling ever couple of Years if his Fathers " Epic Shaggin' " is to be Believed
Isn't there a Lauda with a racing license left to share an LMP2 program with?

Ultimately any sport becomes successful because of the talent competing, football, boxing, American football and athletics as examples hit peaks when they uncover a superstar, not when they field competitors brought forward by cheque books. Incredible content and a fascinating watch lads.
I seriously cant believe that sponsors arent jumping all over him.
Name? Check
Talent? Check
Charisma? Check
Handsome? Check
Even if they just put him on sky f1. On race day and have him work with Brundall and JB.
Freddie might want to update his strategy unless he's using LMP2 as a stepping stone to hypercar because LMP2 isn't going to be part of WEC from 2024
james is in his life time a great fellow not a arrogant moaning figure as lewis.
He was 4 when his old man died
How the hell does he k ow what his dad was like
What other F1 driver do we know that is a conservationalist and a fashion designer?
Vous ressemblez à votre papa !!!! Nous avions une " PASSION " commune......AYRTON !!!!! Disparu à seulement quelques mois, l'un de l'autre !!!!!!! Bien à vous !!!!!!!
Freddie are you still going to give Hemsworth a slap , I saw on the shorts
you were bleeding about his process , but you should have given him a spray at the time , not ten years later.
