When a lord, a superstar and a man named bubbles started an F1 team, no one took them seriously until they won
Hesketh Racing is a legendary British Formula One team born from bold ambition, unconventional spirit and a refusal to follow the rules. Founded by Lord Hesketh in the early 1970s, the team rose from humble beginnings to triumph against the giants of motorsport, delivering one of the sport’s greatest underdog stories. Known as “the biggest little racing team in the world,” Hesketh combined glamour, charisma and fearless racing, most famously with James Hunt, to leave a lasting cultural legacy that continues to inspire a new generation through modern experiences, products and innovation.
