亨特(Hunt)对阵劳达(Lauda)

1976 年一级方程式锦标赛之战

1976年的一级方程式赛季被广泛认为是该项运动历史上最扣人心弦的赛季之一。该赛季中,两位极具标志性的车手詹姆斯·亨特(James Hunt)和尼基·劳达(Niki Lauda)之间展开了激烈对抗,他们在充满戏剧性且几近酿成悲剧的情况下,为争夺车手世界冠军展开了殊死较量。这种对抗体现了两种极端风格的碰撞:劳达是一丝不苟的策略大师,而亨特则是极具个人魅力的冒险狂人。这一年以技术创新和各车队(主要是当时的卫冕冠军法拉利车队与挑战者迈凯伦车队之间)的政治博弈为显著特征。尽管他们在赛道之外是亲密好友,但强烈的好胜心驱使他们经历了一个充满起起落落的赛季。对众多车迷来说,1976年是真正点燃他们对一级方程式赛车热情的首个赛季,而其深远的影响力至今仍在这项运动中回荡。

在赫斯基思赛车队(Hesketh Racing)退出这项运动后,亨特(Hunt)在1976年失去了参赛席位。然而,当埃莫森·菲蒂帕尔迪(Emerson Fittipaldi)离开迈凯伦车队时,亨特意外地迎来了转机。由于他是短时间内能找到的唯一一位经验丰富的车手,迈凯伦车队适时地与他签下了合约。

在赫斯基思赛车队退出这项运动后,亨特在1976年没了参赛席位。而当埃莫森·菲蒂帕尔迪离开迈凯伦车队时,亨特意外地获得了一线生机。鉴于他是短时间内唯一可供选择的经验丰富的车手,迈凯伦车队便适时地与他签下了合约。

亨特在巴西大奖赛上拔得头筹,拿到了杆位,但最终是劳达和法拉利车队一举夺魁。这位英国车手(亨特)很难跟上那些红色赛车(法拉利赛车)的速度,最后因节气门故障退赛了。这为当年赛季初期的几场比赛定下了基调。在南非大奖赛上,亨特再次夺得杆位,但在进入第一个弯道前就很快被他的对手(劳达)超越,最终获得第二名。接着,在长滩大奖赛上,雷加佐尼(Regazzoni)罕见地展现出统治力,他夺得了杆位、做出了最快单圈成绩,并领先劳达冲过终点线赢得比赛。而亨特则继续面临挑战,比赛进行到第三圈时发生的一起事故迫使他退赛了。

5月的西班牙大奖赛引入了新的规则,主要是对进气箱高度进行了限制。作为回应,法拉利车队展示了新款的312T2底盘,而迈凯伦车队也进行了一系列额外的改进,以期追赶当时占主导地位的法拉利车队。这场比赛情况依旧类似,亨特和劳达明显领先于其他车手。比赛初期由奥地利人(劳达)领先,不过随着比赛的推进,由于在长滩站赛事结束后遭遇拖拉机事故导致肋骨骨折,劳达逐渐陷入苦战。亨特驾驶经过改进后重振活力的迈凯伦赛车,适时地追上了状态下滑的法拉利赛车,并最终领先半分多钟赢得了本赛季自己的首场比赛。但亨特的喜悦转瞬即逝,赛后的车辆检查发现他的M23赛车宽了1.6厘米,这导致他被取消了比赛成绩。迈凯伦车队提出了上诉,辩称是比赛过程中轮胎膨胀所致,但还是得立即着手对底盘进行调整,这在很大程度上抵消了在西班牙站之前所做的全部升级改进。

这对亨特的比赛成绩来说是灾难性的,他随后退出了在比利时和摩纳哥的两场比赛,并且在瑞典站只拿到了两分。与此同时,劳达则取得了两连胜,随后在瑞典站登上了领奖台,获得第三名。

在法国站,法拉利车队面临着自身的诸多挑战。这个糟糕的周末里,他们新的空气动力学套件被判定违规,而且他们新的动力单元在比赛进行到20圈之前就在两位车手的赛车上都出现了故障。迈凯伦车队重新启用了在西班牙站之前所做的一些调整,而亨特则一举夺得了胜利。

在布兰兹·哈奇赛道上演了一场颇具争议的比赛,雷加佐尼试图超越劳达的举动导致了第一圈的连环撞车事故,亨特也牵涉其中,比赛因此出示了红旗中断。起初,亨特被禁止参加重新开始的比赛,但赛事组织者最终迫于观众压力,允许亨特参赛,这位英国车手最终在热情欢呼的家乡车迷面前赢得了比赛。然而,这场胜利充满争议,法拉利车队以及其他一些车队声称,亨特在连环撞车事故后返回维修区时驶上了一条通道,这意味着他并未完成一个比赛圈。当赛事官员驳回了他们最初的质疑后,各车队向国际汽联提出了上诉,预计9月会有裁决结果。

接下来是声名狼藉的德国大奖赛,劳达在贝格韦克弯遭遇了可怕的撞车事故,导致他的赛车起火燃烧。他身负重伤,严重烧伤,在医院甚至接受了临终圣礼,当时几乎没人认为他能康复过来。亨特抓住这个机会在德国站夺得了胜利,随后他在奥地利站继续收获积分,接着又在荷兰站再次夺冠。

在蒙扎举行的意大利大奖赛前夕,出现了令人惊叹的转机,劳达宣布,尽管身上伤痕累累,但在那场险些致命的撞车事故仅过去四周后,他就要重返赛场。劳达忍着巨大的伤痛参赛,最终取得了令人钦佩的第四名的成绩。与之形成对比的是,亨特在第11圈时滑出赛道,早早结束了比赛,无奈退赛。迈凯伦车队还遭遇了更多的不幸:国际汽联特别法庭支持了法拉利车队的申诉,亨特在英国站获得的胜利被剥夺了。这场胜利被授予了当时获得第二名的劳达,这使得奥地利人在积分上一下子有了12分的重大优势。

亨特在加拿大站赢得比赛,强势反弹,重新夺回了失去的积分,而劳达则因右后悬挂出现问题,名次下滑,没能获得积分。

一级方程式赛车的车队来到了沃特金斯格伦赛道,在那里亨特成功抵御住了实力有所提升的泰瑞尔车队的冲击,又一次赢得了比赛。劳达再次登上领奖台,从而确保在富士山举行的赛季收官战到来时,自己能带着三分的领先优势进入比赛。

亨特在排位赛中获得第二名,劳达紧随其后位居第三,这为一场激动人心的正赛做好了铺垫。比赛当日,在暴雨倾盆的恶劣条件下,全世界都在关注着这场比赛,亨特起步强劲,取得了领先位置。在第二圈结束时,劳达进站后选择退赛,称当时的比赛状况太过危险。在前方,亨特保持着领先优势,但很快就遭到了维托里奥·布兰比拉驾驶的马驰赛车的挑战,直至这位意大利车手因赛车打转失去了竞争力。随着亨特的轮胎开始出现磨损,在还剩下11圈的时候,他被马里奥·安德雷蒂驾驶的莲花赛车以及泰瑞尔车队的帕特里克·德帕耶勒超越了。尽管亨特当时仍处于一个很有利的争冠位置,但不幸的是,左前轮胎爆胎迫使他不得不进站。

亨特在还剩两圈时回到赛道,当时位居第五,他需要拿到第四名才能确保自己首个年度总冠军头衔。他迅速超越了阿兰·琼斯驾驶的苏堤斯赛车以及劳达的法拉利队友克莱·雷加佐尼,然后冲过了终点线。在最后几圈一片混乱的情况下,亨特原本以为自己已经与总冠军失之交臂了,结果却发现自己最终获得了第三名,以一分之差成为了1976年的世界冠军——这样戏剧性的结局与一级方程式赛车历史上最富戏剧性的赛季之一相得益彰。

No credit checks required but the total amount is held in reserve on your card to ensure payment
Your first payment is taken immediately. The rest will be paid automatically in monthly installments

IMPORTANT NOTE:
  • A PAYMENT AUTHORISATION FOR THE OUTSTANDING AMOUNT OF YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE HELD DURING THE FULL PLAN PERIOD as security. This hold will be charged ONLY in the event a monthly payment is declined (the authorisation hold might appear as "Pending" on your credit card bill).
  • You must maintain a sufficient "Required Available Credit" amount on your credit card for both the full outstanding amount of your purchase and the monthly payment during the full period of the plan.
  • Your credit card issuer may charge you interest on amounts charged to your credit card unless you pay Your credit card balance in full each month.
  • In case we do not manage to reauthorize the remaining amount of the transaction, you will receive a notice email. In that case, you will have to promptly update your credit card details. In case your bank still refuses to reauthorize the outstanding amount, we will have to charge the full outstanding amount of the transaction at once from your credit card.
Splitit offers you a flexible way of paying for items in instalments, completely interest-free, by reserving the available line of credit on your credit card. Then, each month, according to your payment plan, Splitit collects the instalment amount and reissues the authorisation request for the remaining balance.

It is important to note that payments are still charged on your existing credit card. Splitit simply provides you the method to do this and information about the instalments. Here is an example of how the service works for a customer buying a £2,000 model in 4 instalments of £500 each:

Splitit obtains authorisation from the credit card company for the full purchase amount of £2,000. This is not a charge on the card; it is simply reserving £2,000 from the customer’s line of credit.
- The credit card company then charges the customer £500 for the first payment.
- During the second month, Splitit requests authorisation for the outstanding purchase amount of £1,500, and charges the customer the second installment of £500.
- This authorisation and charge process continues until the full £2,000 is collected - in this case, for 4 months.
No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest or hidden fees of any kind.
No, your item will be processed after the first initial instalment and delivered as normal upon passing our Quality Control check at Head Office.
- You can pay using Splitit with a valid Mastercard or Visa
Nothing, no credit check is required if you use a Splitit instalment plan and there is no impact on your credit score. All the bank sees is the individual instalment charges each month. If one of your payment authorisations is declined, there is still no affect on your credit rating; it is simply a declined charge. The denial would simply accelerate payment of the remaining balance (unless you provide a different card which was not denied).
You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa. Debit cards, American Express and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
The instalments appear on your statement as individual charge items with the name of 'Amalgam Collection'. These payments will appear monthly according to your instalment plan, with the same charge amount each time.
