      F1 legend Murray Walker is a hero for the ages, says Freddie Hunt ahead of special tribute to commentary icon

      by

      MURRAY WALKER will remain a Formula One hero for the ages, says the son of perhaps his most unlikely companion.The cool and concise former world champion James Hunt formed a legendary commentary duo with the enthusiastically breathless fan favourite Walker throughout the 1980s.

      Memories of their iconic escapades, and rocky start, were brought back when Murray passed away at the age of 97 earlier this year.
      On Sunday, F1 will remember one of its own with a touching tribute on the British Grand Prix winners’ trophy.
      And Freddie Hunt, one of two sons of James – who died of a heart attack in 1993 – is comforted that both men are well remembered by the sport and its fans.
      Speaking to SunSport at an event promoting the official F1 Fragrances Collection, Hunt recalled: “Murray and dad were good friends – I don’t think they were straight away!
      “They had a bit of beef to sort out, but they had a long lasting relationship.
      “Murray had one hell of an innings and did wondrous things for the sport, he’s very missed.
      “When I was a kid he was ‘Dad’s mate’ but it became a very friendly relationship.
      “We did one interview at Silverstone a few years ago and it was actually very emotional for both of us.”
      The current F1 grid contains a number of sons of famous drivers, from Mick Schumacher to Max Verstappen.
      And Hunt is in awe of their ability to carry the pressure of their iconic names having struggled to get his own racing career off the ground.
      The early years of my career, because of the pressure I put on myself, I had to figure out that there is such a thing as caring too much.Freddie Hunt
      He added: “I’ve experienced it myself, it’s not easy.
      “A lot of comparisons, a lot of people looking at you with great expectations… They’ve done a marvellous job.
      “I think we all deal with pressure in different ways. Some people go quicker under pressure, I’m not one for pressure myself.
      “The early years of my motorsport career, because of the pressure I put on myself, it took me a while to figure out to try not to care. There is such a thing as caring too much.
      “After I had taken a step back from being a professional, I was invited to a race in 2012 and I was really good. 
      “The difference was I didn’t consider myself a professional therefore I didn’t put pressure on myself.
      “So now I’ve come back as a professional, I need to get myself in that mindset again and with the benefit of maturity I’m able to do that.”

      Hunt helped promote the F1 Fragrances range at Silverstone and, with flowing blonde hair and chiselled features, is like his dad in being a natural in front of the camera.
      He explained: “They’ve come up with five different scents, and they’re all designed to hit on a certain aspect of the sport. Whether it’s the courage, the fear, the ferocity…
      “They’ve captured it in a really good way and done a wonderful job. I’m not normally one for fragrances and I really like it.”

      Lewis Hamilton CAN beat Max Verstappen to F1 world title with hard graft and extra work, says dad Anthony

      by

      LEWIS HAMILTON has been backed by dad Anthony to put in the hard graft required to beat Max Verstappen.The reigning world champion, 36, has changed up his routine with a number of extra hours in the simulator and Mercedes factory to try and eke everything out of his car, which has been inferior to the Red Bull for much of the season.

      And Anthony believes Lewis has the work ethic needed to pull off a comeback and win his eighth world title.
      He told SunSport at Silverstone: “I’m always optimistic, it’s just about putting in the hard work.
      “Work hard and hopefully the rewards will come.”
      Hamilton starts Sunday’s race from second on the grid after being jumped by Max Verstappen in the first-ever sprint qualifying.
      The Brit will be driven forward by a huge Silverstone crowd on Sunday, fuelled by glorious sunshine.
      Anthony added: “It’s been absolutely amazing.
      “We need it, us Brits, don’t we? We need some good stuff. With beautiful weather, we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend.”

      Championship leader Max is the son of former F1 star Jos Verstappen and Anthony knows the Dutch speedster has an excellent mentor – having been a key guiding influence in the early part of his own son’s career.
      He said: “Jos is a really good guy, I’ve worked quite closely with him in the past.
      “The sort of work ethic from Jos is the same with most parents, supporting their kids through karting.”

      Max Verstappen beats Lewis Hamilton to win first-ever F1 sprint qualifying race – and claim pole position for British GP

      by

      MAX VERSTAPPEN took first place in Formula One’s maiden sprint qualifying to increase his lead in the championship over Lewis Hamilton to 33 points.The Red Bull man earned three points for his win and will start tomorrow’s British Grand Prix from first on the grid.

      It is a blow for Hamilton, who had started on pole but the Mercedes man lost the lead at the first corner on the first lap.
      Hamilton, who was second and picked up two championship points, crossed the line ahead of his team-mate Valtteri Bottas in a somewhat predictable end.
      There was drama on the first lap as Verstappen leapfrogged Hamilton into Turn One, and while there was a fightback from the Brit at Copse, it was otherwise a cruise for the Dutchman.
      Charles Leclerc qualified in fourth while Lando Norris will now start the GP in fifth ahead of his McLaren team-mate.
      George Russell, who started the sprint race in eighth place, qualified in ninth.
      The big casualty from the 17-lap race that took around 32 minutes was Red Bull’s Sergio Perez, who spun off on lap six.
      The Mexican was then forced to retire his car one lap from the end of the sprint race and is now likely to start from the pitlane.

      Hamilton said after taking one fewer point than his rival: “Every point counts, but I’m grateful to have finished and tomorrow we fight again.
      “They’re just so strong, there was nothing I could do to hold onto him.
      “They’ve done a great job with their engine, their starts are really good and we’ve lost a bit of performance in the starts.”

      We have the first (and maybe only?) Dutch driver named VER to win today.

      CHRISTIAN HORNER EXCLUSIVE
      Red Bull chief Christian Horner has revealed to SunSport’s Ben Hunt how he beat Mercedes to youth prodigy Max Verstappen.
      He tells us: “It was at Hockenheim in 2014 and I went for dinner with Helmut Marko.
      “He was saying how Niki Lauda was trying to sign Max for Mercedes and he was asking me my thoughts.
      “Once I knew that, I said, ‘sure, let’s go for it. It is something Mercedes cannot offer him’.”
      Check out the full interview here.
      SESSION DONE – VERSTAPPEN LEADS THE WAY
      Advantage Red Bull? Hold on, remember this was just a warm up. Nothing won here, we still have the sprint race later on.
      But that is still encouraging for Red Bull, who have made changes over night.
      Mercedes could have their work cut out.
      Ferrari in 2 and 3 in what was a good session for the Italian team.

      GREAT TO SEE FULL STANDS HERE AT SILVERSTONE
      A crowd of 140,000 is expected today. Another 140,000 tomorrow. HUGE numbers.

      UNDER 10 MINUTES ON THE CLOCK
      And the running order is: Verstappen, Leclerc, Sainz, Ocon, Perez, Norris, Ricciardo, Hamilton, Bottas and Gasly for your top 10.

      HAMILTON WANTS TO SAVE HIS ENGINE
      He’s asked his race engineer to turn the engine down, effectively preserving its life.
      However, Merc say they want to keep running at that power as the data they are gathering is proving useful.
      MAX IS BACK
      The Red Bull man is top of the time sheets again. And look at those sector times. He is quick everywhere.

      A LITTLE OVER 20 MINUTES INTO THE SESSION
      Verstappen leads Perez in a Red Bull 1-2.
      Esteban Ocon is currently P3. Bottas P4, Mazepin in P5 and Hamilton in P6.
      But this session is not necessarily reflective of pace – more of an experiment.
      BIG CHEERS FOR RUSSELL
      The Williams driver was eight in qualifying yesterday, as he reached Q3 for the second time running.
      He was treated to a big cheer as he took to the track for the first time on Saturday.
      He will have to wait a few weeks though until he discovers if he will be partnering Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes next year.

      LEWIS HAMILTON IS GETTING READY TO HEAD OUT
      The world champion took pole for the sprint race, beating Max Verstappen by just 0.075seconds in qualifying.
      Can he take that slender advantage into this session?
      GREEN LIGHT – FP2 FOR THE BRITISH GP IS GO
      Now, not too get your hopes up, but this is likely to be a 60 minute tyre test.
      But it is ok, the good stuff is coming later, with F1’s first sprint race to select the grid for the British GP.

      SPRINT FINISH
      Lewis Hamilton is fired up for today’s sprint race and has vowed to take the new concept very seriously – with points on offer for the top three finishers.
      He said after qualifying: “It’s just all guns blazing,
      “I need to bring out the lion tomorrow and give it everything. It starts with the start so we’ll be practising on that, we’ve got the long run practice in FP2.
      “I mean passing the Red Bull is not easy, so it really helps to be where we are. But we’ve got to get off the line, and we’ve still got so many things and obstacles up ahead of us.
      “The sprint race is going to be an interesting one, I think I’ve got the car where I need it, so we’ll see.”
      WHAT’S ON THE AGENDA TODAY?
      Formula One second practice is at noon before the sprint race at 4.30pm.
      The first of two F2 races has already taken place this morning, Rob Shwartzman winning despite causing a red flag with a spin in qualifying yesterday.
      Their second race, on live on Sky Sports, is at 2.45pm.
      And the W Series has its second race of the weekend at 1.25pm, shown live on Channel 4.

      NEVER FORGOTTEN
      As we prepare to go racing today, F1 takes a moment to remember one of its own who sadly passed away on this day six years ago.

      ‘WEIRD’
      F1’s trial of a sprint race format at this weekend’s British Grand Prix has led to a timetable overhaul.
      F1 has elected to stick with the final free practice session before Saturday afternoon’s sprint qualifying, a move Max Verstappen has questioned.
      He said: “What I find weird is you do qualifying and then you can’t change anything on the car.
      “Then you have another free practice and then the sprint race. Then I think to myself: why not drop that second free practice, as it doesn’t really matter any more?
      “It feels a bit weird to do a qualifying where there is nothing at stake. You don’t really get that pole feeling or whatever. But hopefully we can attack on Saturday, we’ll see.”
      ‘HAS THE TALENT’
      David Coulthard believes George Russell can push Lewis Hamilton in the same way that Max Verstappen has in the title race this season.
      “We saw George’s hunger and racing spirit when he came together with Valtteri in Imola. He probably overreacted there, which is just an opinion.
      “But what we did see was his passion behind the wheel and that’s the sort of passion he’s going to need to beat Lewis.
      “He’s not going to beat Lewis with pure speed, Lewis is one of if not the fastest drivers of the last decade, George I believe has the talent to match that speed.
      “He’s going to beat him with that passion, that hunger, that ‘you might be Lewis Hamilton but when we go on track, I don’t care who you are’ Which is exactly what Max Verstappen delivers when he’s in the race car.”

      Red Bull chief Christian Horner reveals how he beat Mercedes to Max Verstappen as F1 star targets first world title

      by

      CHRISTIAN HORNER has spoken about the time Red Bull Racing first signed Max Verstappen – to stop him joining Mercedes.The Dutchman has opened up a 32-point lead over Lewis Hamilton and is edging closer to earning his first world title.
      Christian Horner pulled off a real coup by signing a young Max VerstappenCredit: AFP
      He is still only 23, but was already touted as a world champ in waiting when he made his F1 debut in 2015 at the age of 17.
      Back then, he was not even old enough to drive himself to the track or drink the Champagne on the podium, if he achieved one.
      Verstappen has since proved he is the real deal. He’s matured, cut out the mistakes and is mighty quick.
      No wonder then, Merc have been cursing the time he slipped through their fingers – and have been trying to sign him ever since.
      Horner said: “I first became aware of Max after hearing his name through the karting jungle drums and through contacts who I communicated with.
      “But it was only when he got into Formula 3 that suddenly his talent really started to stand out.
      “It was at Silverstone and his first race, here was a guy who had done no junior racing at all and had jumped straight into Formula 3, which in those days was considered a big step up, and suddenly he is running at the front and winning races.
      “He was also doing it in a car that did not belong to a traditional front-running team.
      “So it became obvious he was a potential star of the future and it was at that point Red Bull’s advisor, Helmut Marko, really started to pay closer attention to what he was doing.
      “It was at Hockenheim in 2014 and I went for dinner with Helmut. He was saying how Niki Lauda was trying to sign Max for Mercedes and he was asking me my thoughts.
      The moment he first got in the car to drive in first practice at the Japanese GP, he was sensational.Christian Horner
      “Once I knew that, I said, ‘sure, let’s go for it. It is something Mercedes cannot offer him’.
      “Niki was pushing hard and it was a bit of Austrian pride between Niki and Helmut who was going to get him!
      “The advantage we had was the cockpit we had available at Toro Rosso and taking that risk.
      “So we agreed the deal, and the moment he first got in the car later that year to drive in first practice at the Japanese GP at Suzuka, he was sensational.”
      Horner has watched his star driver compete alongside Daniel Ricciardo, Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat.
      Such was his meteoric rise, he quickly attributed the reputation of a teammate killer, as he blitzed his rivals.
      He is now doing the same to Hamilton, who admittedly has been hamstrung in his title defence by his Mercedes car.
      Horner has watched Verstappen develop and says his father Jos Verstappen’s tough-love upbringing turned him into a tenacious racer.
      He added: “I was first struck by Max’s confidence and his car control, plus his lack of imitation of the car and the other drivers.
      “Very quickly you could see from his first race in Melbourne in 2015, he was right there and he had huge confidence and commitment and belief in himself.
      “It is very easy to underestimate what he has done and what he has achieved and he has done it in a very grounded way.
      “Success has not gone to his head. He still lives in the same way and does not live a flashy lifestyle and he is genuinely a nice young man who is living his dream driving the best cars in the world.
      “His father was pretty firm on him and that has helped to shape him into the driver he is today.”
      MANSELL MANTLE
      It will be Hamilton who enjoys the home support of a capacity crowd of 140,000 at Silverstone today and tomorrow.
      But Red Bull boss Horner says there are driving qualities in his driver that resemble that of another celebrated Brit, Nigel Mansell.
      He said: “It has taken 70 years for these records to be achieved by Lewis, and Max has his career in front of him.
      “He is very happy in the environment of the team, he trusts the brand and we have faith in him and that’s how it works.

      “He doesn’t seem to be shaken in his fight with Lewis. He is a racer and loves going wheel to wheel.
      “He is Mansell-like in his bravery and his commitment. You know he is going to give it 110 percent every lap – but without the drama afterwards!
      “But in terms of his driving style you know he will give it everything – his size of endowment is similar to Nigel!”

      The Brit, 36, moved level with Michael Schumacher on seven world titles last year and will become the outright top dog if he collects the most points across this season’s races.
      In a season that has already seen shifts and changes to the calendar, the Australian Grand Prix was due to take place on the weekend of March 21, but was put back to November 21.
      Then the Melbourne event was cancelled altogether due to rising Covid cases Down Under.
      And in April the world governing body approved sprint races in the British, Brazilian and Italian Grand Prix as a replacement for qualifying.
