When you hear the name James Hunt, you don't invariably think of secret agents, dangerous Alpine skiing adventures, and Formula 1 cars equipped with ejector seats, right?
Well, you might do after watching this special episode of McLaren's TOONED animation series.
We’ve once again teamed up Oscar-winning visual effects house Framestore to create an appropriately off-the-wall celebration of the 1976 world champion, who won one of the most memorable title fights in grand prix history 40 years ago.
This three-minute TOONED video updates the Hunt feature which originally aired in 2013, as part of McLaren's 50th anniversary celebrations. The new edit retains all the spontaneity, wit and irreverent humour of the original, but now features – for the very first time – McLaren-Honda racer Fernando Alonso, alongside Jenson Button.
