Another chapter in the Hunt vs. Lauda rivalry fell the way of James Hunt, On This Day fifty years ago - with Hesketh's first and only win! 🧸   It looked like being a Ferrari walkover, even as the Dutch Grand Prix start was delayed by wet-dry-wet conditions; Lauda cooly charged away in front, until fourth placed Hunt delivered a masterstroke as the track dried, undercutting the field with a stop for dry tyres. He cycled into the lead and was never headed, despite immense pressure from the hitherto dominant Lauda. 😤   Hesketh had spent their two years in F1 leaning in to the champagne-chugging playboy image - and now they finally had something to celebrate! 🍾 . . .   #F1 #OnThisDay #JamesHunt #Hesketh #NikiLauda #Ferrari #ClayRegazzoni #DutchGP #DutchGrandPrix #Zandvoort #ClassicF1 #70sF1 #1970s #FormulaOne #Formula1 #GrandPrix #F1History #PhotographyHistory #MotorsportHistory #MotorsportPhotography #GettyImages #GettySport #RainerSchlegelmilch #ErcoleColombo #SuttonImages
