Before the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix, Hunt had reportedly bedded around 35 British Airways air hostesses. Freddie was born 11 years after this happened and said, “There were witnesses. There was a fresh supply of hostesses. They would come to the hotel, stopover, then get on the plane the next day. There was a different one every night,” Freddie concluded.
