We know of Kimi's wild misadventures outside the F1 cockpit, but how does he compare to the first real "ambassador of bad behaviour" of F1, 1976 champion and BBC commentator James Hunt? Opinions expected... and appreciated.
 
I've been waiting for someone to make this thread.

First let's put both of their photos next to each other.

Well they have no hesitation to show their anger if some driver does something wrong:

Both had funny/great moment in interviews:

James Hunt was crazier definitely. A James Hunt wouldn't even get to F1 these days. Kimi is definitely the better driver. But most of that is down to the passage of time. Drivers these days have to be more professional and focused. Kimi is definitely the James Hunt of his day, and its fair to say Kimi is a big fan of James. Remember the snowmobile enduro he entered (and won!!!) earlier this year under the name James Hunt! Shades of Gilles Villeneuve in there as well.
 
Some great stuff in your post pfrocker. :wink:
 
Thanks guys :)
 
excellent post mate. Even though ive seen most of the videos on youtube, its great to see a back to back comparison of Hunt and R?ikk?nen.

Love 'em both, proper racers those two, unlike other F1 drivers.
 
Let's add to this thread:
Both have great taste in women:

Outrageous acts in the pit lane:
Smoking in the pit lane, where tons of gasoline exists

Thought I'd throw this one into the mix as well. It's a new German commercial Kimi and Schuey have done for the Fiat Bravo.

That is absolutely brilliant!!!!!!! 10/10!!!! It seems every commercial relating to F1 turns to gold. The "I can do better" one earlier this year was fabulous, as was that one. The new 60 years of F1 Shell one is superb.
