Hunt the impenitent, a pleasure-loving icon, excess as his trademark.
This is the common thought, the most natural approach. But JAMES HUNT GLORIA RIBELLE tells a different story.
It is the stubborn and obstinate boy who gave heart and soul to change his destiny, to follow glory. He who has rewritten the rules of an existence led over the top: the absolute as daily bread, compromise as a useless frill.
He is the irascible man, from whom the unexpected is born. A World Championship won against all reasonable forecasts, an early retire from racing.
In between, an intense existence, the story of a memorable epoch, which saw champions being born and heroes being extinguished: death as an ineluctable presence, a nefarious companion, a ravenous killer.
James, the cover star, is Lauda's challenger by antithesis. An exasperated and worn-out assumption, since between them flowed the fertile river of a true friendship, of a healthy rivalry, nourished by fast laps. Different in character, united by the battle: the fierce one of 1976, the even more cruel one of life.
A life that Hunt rode and destroyed, in the grip of a troubled delirium. Which he has caressed and rebuilt, right on the edge of dreams, of his last shining days.
James bids farewell to the world after finding peace, after reversing his course; proving himself not just a driver, but a captain. Of his own tomorrow, albeit as brief as a beat of his wings, like the last throb of a finally satisfied heart.
