Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I te tau 1980, tata ana a Hunt ki te hoki mai ki a McLaren i te United States Grand Prix West, e tono ana kia $1 miriona mō te whakataetae. I puta tēnei whai wāhitanga i te wā i whati ai te kaihautū tūturu a Alain Prost i tōna ringa i te wā o te whakangungu mō te rauna o mua i Awherika ki te Tonga
, ā, kāore te rookie French i tino pai ki te taraiwa i Long Beach. Ko te kaitautoko matua o te kapa, ko Marlboro, i tuku i te haurua o te moni engari i mutu nga whakawhitiwhitinga i muri i te whati o Hunt i tona waewae i a ia e reti ana. I te tau 1982, ko Bernie Ecclestone, rangatira o te kapa Brabham, i tuku utu ki a Hunt mo te £ 2.6 miriona mo te waa engari i whakakahoretia e Hunt. I te tau 1990, i raru a Hunt i te raru o te tahua me te ngaronga o te £ 180,000 i whakangao ki Lloyd's o Raanana ka whakaarohia he hokinga mai me te roopu Williams. I whakamatauria e ia i runga i te Paul Ricard Circuit i etahi marama i mua i te whakamatautau i nga motuka hou, a he maha nga hēkona i muri i te tere, ka whakapono ia ka rite ia ki te tinana. I ngana a Hunt ki te akiaki i a John Hogan, VP Marketing o Philip Morris Europe, ki te tautoko i te hokinga mai pea, ka whakaatuhia ki a ia he korero putea hei tohu mo te nama.
