- James Hunt offering his opinion live on air about French driver Rene Arnoux's comments concerning turbo cars, and Murray Walker doing his best to move things along quickly... classic moment from surely the best commentary duo
RIP Murray Walker
Yes 😔🕊 Fly High Hero
They're both commentating a race in heaven with Senna, Fangio, Lauda, Surtees, Villeneuve, Cevert, Bianchi, Ascari, Rindt and the rest.
@@LuminalSpoon indeed 😔🕊🏆
"Bullshit" is what James hunt said when Murray arrived in the Great track in the sky!... RIP Murray you will be missed terribly.
@@LuminalSpoon Jim Clarke, Mike Hawthorn, Mike Hailwood etc.
James Hunt ladies and gentlemen. Absolute legend.

James Hunt: A man to be taken seriously
Why the fuck did he have to die before I'd gotten old enough to appreciate F1 and its commentary gods.
@@SpiderRiviera because the world is a giant middle finger
@@JDT-Loadsamoney
Isn't that the truth!
"...soooo....anyway...."
LOL
best F1 commentator team ever :D
Same energy as "oh no,anyway"
@@ArcadeMusicTribute yeah even James Allen too
Yep, Murray wasn't too impressed with Hunt's remarks, to say the least. He expressed that to the viewers with the way he said that.
hands james mic.......takes mic back off james
Murray dealt with the situation! :)
The microphone got taken very quickly out of Hunt's hand at that point.
Shituation
@@AuroDHikoshi Kinda doubt it, the "so he says" was really as far as Murray would go to have Hunt have a real go.
"So, anyway"
A 33 second video that has 3 legends who are no longer with us: Murray Walker, James Hunt and Ayrton Senna.
Prost not Senna
@@mouloudo prost is alive, senna is not. Senna is also in this commentary
@@Scoobydcs he’s trying to say that Prost is the one in the video not senna
You got that right. F1 is not the same.
Fumier
"And all I can say to that is 'bullshit'."
"Sooo, anyway, there goes Arnoux..."
Classic!
Hearing Murray Walker's voice always makes me feel like I'm a kid sitting on the couch with my dad watching racing on tv.
That's beautifully put. I think a lot of us have similar yet somehow unique memories like that and it's good to hold them dear and cherish them.
Same here. I had just turned 6y/o when my father woke me sometime around midnight to watch James Hunt win the world title in '76.
I remember it like it was yesterday (made more special because my older sister was still sound asleep!).
I remember my mum and dad leaping around the living room, so excited. Great memory and me and my dad continued watching every race until he died in '99. Still raise a glass to him during every race. And now will be thinking of Murray as well as James too.
Here, here. Agreed to that.
Oh man, me too. I'd get out of bed, here that voice with engines in the background & knew it was time.
Murray had a V10 engine inside of him I'm sure
Possibly the best single line in sports tv commentary ever.
Have to say though, everyone talks about Murray having to 'handle' James' unpredictability. .. at least on this occasion Murray set James up for that line. He had a fair idea what his response would be.
Exactly why Murray and James worked so well together. May both of them RIP.
Have 200 likes.
It's a joke that Murray Walker hasn't been knighted, Arise Sir Murray.
He's been an OBE for quite some time now.
sbblakey777 But not knighted, sadly.
Amiga For Life it's very rare that people actually receive the KBE or GBE title that actually allows them to be called "Sir"
Only pedos and singers get knighted now days.
@@sbblakey Unlike other orders, only the highest two ranks of the Order of the British Empire confer the title of Knight.
I love the way he emphasises "Bulshit" :D
DocDudix Aussie proud of him.
Oh he stuck the landing on that, lmao
"sooo, anyway.." hahah, gotta love james
i wonder what james hunt would say about maldonado. :D
He would most likely love him. Because Maldonado has the balls to go for a gap even if it doesn't exist :D
+Morello when there's none, he makes some ^^
Panthera Tigris Exactly :)
With his very British way of saying things, he'd probably describe Maldonado's driving during the 2011 Belgian GP incident with Hamilton as 'disgraceful.'
James Brickles appalling
This is so well-timed and hilarious. James Hunt died the year I was born, and I was unaware of him until I watched Rush (which by the way is excellent). I've been browsing his interviews and commentaries and have to say he seems like a world-class guy. RIP James Hunt!
Rush is one of the best movies I ever saw
@yusuf kocaman which us clearly shown at the end of the movie
Look up the Grand Prix at Longbeach, California from the late 1970s/early 80s. There is a moment in the commentary where James out and out says "Typical Ferrari, always cheating" (a reference to the ruling that had him disqualified from a race in 76, over a car's width, flagged by Lauda).
The lovely thing about Hunt was his ability to not mince words. If something was shite, he called it.
Hunt and Walker were an odd paring with two completely differing styles, but it worked so well.
@@Zerbey
True. On paper it was a terrible paring but the actual combination of them commentating together was dare I say it magical!
*"...AND ALL I CAN SAY TA THAT IS BOOL SHIT."*
🤣
Its bullshit
Well said Mr. President
If we had more commentary like that, we'd have less random-babble meaningless commentary in general.
@@snapsoundsss He was mimicking Hunt's accent, you clown.
Lol I remember this so well. I was 14 at the time and recall being shocked, amazed and then thinking James Hunt was the coolest thing on TV. I couldn't wait to get to school the next day to talk about it with my mate. Ahhh the good ole days. Bring on 2009, we're nearly there!!!! Go Brawn!!!
And they won.
@@itsruinunes and then Mercedes said yep I’m buying you now bye!
HAPPY 2006 GUYZ!!!!!!!! XD
you were 14 at the time, and this comment was written 14 years ago. Coincidence? I think not. Bring on 2024, we're nearly there!!!
Hunt knew of what he spoke. Not only had he won the World Championship in 1976 for McLaren using a Cosworth DFV engine, but during the 1980's he had tested turbo cars for McLaren, Williams and Brabham. He had also as recently as a couple of months before the 1989 Monaco GP tested the Williams Renault. He knew that driving the atmo cars was far easier than driving one of the turbos.
but did the slow driver they were talking about actually do better back before turbos were banned?
@@christianponicki9581 Arnoux had half a dozen or so wins and a few podium finishes in the turbo era but that is hardly conclusive that turbo cars were easier to drive. Naturally aspirated engines, certainly back in the 1970s/1980s, had vastly superior throttle response and driveability compared to turbocharged engines i.e. power delivery was more progressive.
All i can to say to that is BULLSHIT. Hahaha
The tone in his voice, the way that James Hunt says the line, it makes me laugh out loud every time I watch this.
The greatest commentary double-act of all time. RIP James.
Simply beautiful. Such a sad loss at an early age. It would be absolutely wonderful were James around today. Would it not be a wonderful world if James Hunt was the "non-executive chairman" of one of the challengers to Mercedes. I guess. Were there such a thing at this point.
McLaren maybe?
Surely, if only he also were still with us, Senna would be running McLaren?
Nah. I think someone like James would've been very critical of modern F1. Can you imagine him having to listen to drivers being told to drive slower in order to save tyres/engines?
@@thestaggy - Yeah, you might want to study your history a bit more. Minding your rubber and your engine has always been a major part of F1. At their best, F1 cars live on the edge of destroying themselves and it has always been a major test of a driver's ability to extract everything they can from the car without destroying it. I do agree that the tire thing has gotten a bit absurd (thanks, Bernie) but it has always been there. It was possibly even more of a challenge back in the skinny tire era.
@@decodolly1535 Damn, now I'm imagining an older Senna in a corporate McLaren uniform.
James Hunt knew what he was on about. He'd raced 'atmos' in his successful career and had also done the odd testing of cars like the turbocharged McLaren-TAG's.
It is well known that Na cars or bikes are much easier to race there is no question they have a much more usable powerband. So Hunt was 100%right to call him on it.
I remember watching live when James said that....Haven't heard it for years...brilliant!
Imagine if David Croft (sky sports UK) said during commentary "Daniil Kvyat says that the reason he crashes all the time is because the Toro Rosso doesn't suit his driving style" & Martin Brundle replies "And all I can say to that is Bullshit" 😂
I can see that, Bundle don't take no shit
James hunt was renown for being brash, he was also a world champion so he had more leeway
I'de rather hear Brundle say "Ladies and Gents.. I've worked with best and now they put me with this A-Hole.. Can we not have anyone better than this moron David Croft ?? Seriously, that trash can would be better."
@@fingersTitan croft shouts for no reason......he's loud 2 be loud....no emotion behind it at all
Cofty and Natalie Pinkham are the worst thing about Sky F1, replace her with Lee McKenzie
This was James Hunt, he told it like it was.....who can forget the Murray and James show..what a team!
he gets straight to the point! what a total legend!!
Gold ol' James, never mixed his words
I think the word you are looking for is "mince"
@@kuckoo9036 You're replying to a comment that is 6 years old
Murray Walker has to be by far the best commentator of any sport!!!!
A true legend for sure, but he does have some compadres. Sid Waddell comes to mind.
While not his, my favourite commentator line is ‘the person who designed that corner should be taken to a dark room and be beaten’
This never fails to make me laugh, no matter how many times I've played it.
"So anyway there goes Arnoux..."
Remember watching it live! What Sunday afternoons were made for.
albon: The reason I'm going so slow these days, because I'm used to Torro Rosso cars and these Red Bull cars are a different cattle of fish to drive
I remember watching this live - I was shocked and impressed at the same time. It was a part of James' ongoing dislike of René Arnoux - James always had his favourites and his pet hates when it came to drivers he commented on.
Didn’t know he disliked Rene.
@@G.P_79 I am not saying that all the comments were justified. The other driver I remember James hating was Ricardo Patrese: I think he blamed him for Ronnie Peterson's accident at Monza in 1978 and never had a good word to say about him no matter what he did on the track.
I like a man who says what he thinks and adds opinions to his commentary. It provided great contrast to Murray Walker.
Here is another James Hunt criticism of a driver he felt unworthy : th-cam.com/video/8b3oM5y2JjI/w-d-xo.html
"Soooo....anyway...." is a much better solution than half of the commentary team scrambling to apologise after someone swears.
They'd virtually be turning themselves inside out these days, bracing themselves for much wounded screeching via Twittle and tiktackytok.
Nobody else could ever pull that kind of candor off like James Hunt....Nobody. lol
I believe what Arnoux was meaning/implying was that he could handle the turbo lag/boost better than most other competitors (He was a VERY good driver in the 70's and early 80's) but now that the engines are n/a, he didn't have the advantage anymore and it was more of a level playing field- everyone is closer to the 'median' lap time (less deviation between drivers without the turbo) so the typically slow are slightly more competitive and the faster teams/drivers are more limited. In other words; he lost his edge without the turbo.
I wish James Hunt was still around and commentating what a legend !!!
I remember watching this live on tv when he said that, ha ha.
2020 anyone? James... We still love you champ! :) :) :)
Murray walker just carries on talking like it never happened!😂
I can imagine his facial expression though 😂
The great Murray Walker, the World Champion James Hunt... together again. Joyous. 👏🏼🙏🏼
Murray absolutely set that up for James on a silver platter.
Loved Hunt candor...rare in F1 these days
It’s very sad that we have now lost both of them
Legend
james and murray must have been such an awesome commentary duo! wish they were both still around 💖
An accurate assessment....R.I.P James, Murray and Ayrton......
Brilliant and bang on from an ex world champion. James Hunt is still sadly missed.
My favorite uncensored moment in F1 along with Kimi's "I was having a shit" line
Murray Walker and James Hunt were the Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna of commentry. They were simply the best by a huge margin. I miss them as much as I miss Prost and Senna. Great days they were. Great days.
I remember this like it was yesterday. Fantastic moment!
I love how the tone of his voice just suddenly drops, then resumes.
You do know that it was Murray Walker speaking before and after James Hunt's "bullshit" comment, yes?
@@Teeb2023 2 PEOPLE? NEVER
Imagine if Senna vs Prost gets adapted to the big screen (Rush spin-off) and Hemsworth reprises Hunt; this commentary line has to be included! LOL
Absolute legend :)
Murray Walker and James Hunt=best motor racing commentary duo ever!
Walker and Hunt = best sporting commentary duo ever!
Classic. The official F1 channel put a bleep in there, which absolutely loses the sheer bluntness of James, and diminishes the brilliance of Murray's unflappable response. Censorship is a crime and this video is a lovely reminder of the F1 we use to know and love.
There has never been a more perfect pair presenting F1 races.
After winning a f1 race in the rain, Hunt was asked how he did it. Replied...bigger balls
Both of them are legends rest in peace james
2 great commentators right there. R.I.P Legends
Anyone understands a little about race cars knows that James was right.
A real BS !!!!!!
I needed a good pick me up feel great moment of life and again the two legends of F1 commentary supply. I remember this like it was yesterday and being a 14 year old kid who wasn't allowed to swear, I remember cringing next to my Dad and then my Dad chuckled :-) We miss you James - especially in these very PC days
RIP both, the best commentary double act ever.
As only James Hunt would...
Made my day
lovin' it! i miss James Hunt so much. He was taken far before his time and this world is a poorer place without him :(
James, absolute legend that he was, always said it as it was, sadly missed.
To Arnoux's credit, his entire career has been on turbo only.
Whether it was the yellow teapots of the Renaults, the turbo powered Ferrari, and the turbo powered Ligier until turbos were banned for 1989.
But Hunt's commentary is still gold.
lmao Hunt the Legend!
James Hunt, a commentator ahead of his time.
Incorrect - he was very much of, and representative of, his time.
@@neilonaniet commentators are too politically correct these days. So you do have a point.
James Hunt and Murray Walker brilliant duo . Best commentators on F1 ever.
Very concise and straight to the point. 10/10
Brilliant, old school commentary you cant beat it.
"And so anyway" translates as nothing to see here, move it on!! Loved listening to the insightful James Hunt & excitable Murray Walker, 2 Great Britons.
I think murray walker summed up how we all feel about James Hunt in his 1993 tribute documentary just after his death, 'i really will miss him very much indeed'
Classic James! Classic Muddy Talker!
RIP James Hunt. Wish he was alive still to see some of the shockers of current F1. Especially would have loved to have him when Mazepin was still in F1
Rest In Peace James Hunt.... you're simply the best..... :)
Oh i love that quote! He puts it so natural!!!
Hilarious thanks for that... I have that image in my head... I can just imagine the emotions in the box after James says "bullshit". Ahhh James, we all miss you :-)
As an irishman is always hard to give the brits credit haha. But this guy... Fucking legend! Straight up
"So, anyway..." without so much as a pause.
What a consummate professional!
That was James Hunt accurately describing Formula 1 racing today.
Priceless!
quality... the likes of james hunt i doubt we will see ever again
Awesome! James Hunt and Murray Walker were the best!
What a legend James Hunt was, in so many ways.
Murray and James only had one mic between them in those days. I wonder whether he gave it back or whether Murray thrust it out of his hand...
Well said, James.
Simple yet powerful words.
. . . we sure miss James these days. He was always there to correct Murray during the race broadcast.
You can just sense Murray cringing in the commentary box after James made that comment! Only James Hunt could get away with that, what a legend!
James Hunt is brilliant. What a pity to have lost him. James would tie James Allen and David Croft into knots without even trying :)
thats bloody brilliant
the greatest bit of color commentary i've ever heard
We may never see the likes of James Hunt again.
great reply, well played sir.
I miss the 80s to the last hour
brilliant just simply honest something we need more than ever these days
That is why James Hunt and Murray Walker will forever be the best commentary team.
I'll bet if Martin Brundle or Jonathon Legard were to say that they'd be sacked.
spoken like a true gentleman.....
RIP Murray. Enjoy your reunion with James in the great F1 commentary box in the sky. No doubt you’re going to enjoy seeing Senna, Lauda and the rest race up there. We’re missing you already down here 💔
