My ranking on the best Classic F1 drivers acting in films
Disclaimer: I'm only counting drivers who have more than one scene in a film or a couple of minutes amount of speaking time. So I'm not going to include all the drivers in the team meeting for Grand Prix 66, but I am including a couple of the drivers who had a bigger role in that film.
7) Jo Bonnier
Grand Prix 66
I debated if I should include Jo Bonnier because he doesn't speak in the film, but he is in a couple of scenes including standing in a group with some of the main characters when they are arguing. But unlike Graham Hill who reacts to whats happening, Jo is just...there. I think the directors wanted another F1 driver and Graham just grabbed Jo Bonnier and made him stand with him. Still good effort Jo!
6) Jack Brabham
The Green Helemt
Usually I try to finish films when I watch them, but this was an exception. The only saving thing about this film is that it has Jack Brabham and Sid James in it. Brabham's role however was very small, and though he tried there wasn't a ton of dialogue and the whole scene felt extremely awkward.
5) Niki Lauda
Top Kids
Niki has a couple of film credits under his name, but the film Top Kids is the main one, which he features in for roughly half of it. The film production was all over the place and they changed the plot a couple of times so the film didn't make sense. Niki had a lot of scenes and dialogue however everything was very...stiff. He was saying the lines, not acting them. However with the plot of him being AI in the final film it does work in his favour. He was committed to the role, including running in a fake war zone, and he got to drive a load of different cars which I am sure he enjoyed, but yeah overall acting was quite rough. Still love Niki and the film though <3
4) Phil Hill
Grand Prix 66
Phil Hill helped out with the production which is why they created a whole character for him in the film, yet unless you are really paying attention he will completely slip by without you noticing. He's only in a couple of scenes, and the film doesn't really explain who he is, but Phil is acting well, concerned for his drivers and interacting with the other characters in the scene. He's a believable actor and was let down by the lack of footage there was of him in the film.
3) James Hunt
The plank, Mr H
I've included both of these films because they are two mini films made by the same person in the same style. The films are British comedy, replicating silent film humour in a more modern setting. Many famous British comedy actors were in these, such as Erik Sykes, Frankie Howerd, Bernard Cribbins and more. James only have a small part in both, but he does well, using his body language and facial expressions to express the characters feelings. Him shaking his fist sitting in a van is one of my favourite clips. Really solid effort from James.
I also shouldn't include them as they are not films but his acting in the adverts he does for Texaco are also great.
2) Graham Hill
Grand Prix 66
Graham Hill was hilarious, he had a good grasp on comedy even from giving speeches so it was no surprise he was going to do well acting in a film. He's the other other driver aside from Phil Hill who's given a character rather than playing himself. In his scenes he's actively reacting to everything around him, speaking confidently and having a blast. One of my favourite scenes is in the canteen where two characters are arguing and Graham is in the background shaking his head and glaring at a character. He's first in line to speak to another character and shake his hand and be at the front of a celebration scene where you'll see him in the background chucking a drink. He only had a limited screen time but he made sure to use all his charm and humor and make a great character.
1) Ricardo Rodríguez
Muchachas Que Trabajan
If I went into that film not knowing Ricardo was a F1 driver, I would genuinely think he's a trained actor just playing a driver. He's utterly convincing in his role, reacting to the situations, spot on facial expressions and expressing his lines. It helps that he is one of the main characters in the film and he gets his own side plot line and romance story. They had faith in him and he delivered. It's the best acting I've seen of a driver in any type of media and I'm so glad this film was made so that we have clear footage of him.

Interviewer: After how his car behaved in the race, Mike says...
Mike: Ummm, well not very well actually. It started off quite well and in the second lap it started pouring oil out left hand side of the engine onto the exhaust pipe. I saw these puffs of white smoke going and I thought it won't last long now. We went on quite happily, slowed down in revs, slowed down a bit. Umm, I knew it had sort of run out of oil sooner than later so I was watching the oil pressure gage and that dropped down from around about six or seven and went down to two and a half so I thought time to go in so I came in for a quick stop, signalled I was coming in. They filled it up and off I went again and it was well. It went up to three instead of two haha!
Interviewer: You gained the maximum speed didn't you in one of the laps today.
Mike: Yes! I did, I was very suprised by that. I didn't think I'd do that.
Interviewer: That was before you noticed the oil trouble?
Mike: No, No, this happened right at the beginning, second lap of the race, but um, when I refilled with oil, they gave me a signal saying, Salvadori was ten seconds behind so I thought I'd better get my finger out and press on a bit. And uh, I think I must have done it then. I didn't mean to! I didn't think I had a home giving advantage.
Interviewer: Well congratulations Mike, and uh what is the next race?
Mike: German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring. A fortnight tomorrow.
Interviewer: Well the best of luck *something I can't make out*
Mike Hawthorn interview after becoming world champion - note Mike lies to the interviewer here pretending he will race next year when he had already made up his mind to retire, he just hadn't officially announced it yet
Mike Hawthorn talking about Peter Collins and what he witnessed with Peter's fatal accident
This interview was taken when he arrived back in England at Heathrow Airport. After this footage, he started breaking down, calling himself silly. He drove Louise Collins up to Kidderminster to Peter's parents but could only get to a local pub he and Peter went to and couldn't go further.
And here is the 1957 interview I promised the other day! This is roughly three and a half minutes long with clearer audio! To me, Peter also seems a lot more confident in his speaking than he did the previous year, but that might be down to the fact he is ranting about things he disagrees with 😅 anyway enjoy!
Interviewer: We asked Peter Collins about it, and he explained that this is one of the team cars, complying with the new FIA regulations. There were other regulations more difficult to comply with.
Peter: We've come over here, and so has Maserati on the regulations that they sent to us. Which don't mention anything about using the spare wheel in the tyre change. They now issue an appendix to the regulations, which says that the first pit stop must include the use of the spare wheel. Well, now both ourselves and Maserati have different-sized wheels and tyres on the backs as opposed to the front. So, in other words, we can't put a front wheel tyre on the back. So, as far as we are concerned, if we come into the pits with a flat back tyre, we are not allowed to change it.
Interviewer: That's rather absurd.
Peter: Which is absurd, and not only that, you are now allowed to bring out an appendix to the regulations without the sign - well, these before - within 36 hours, I think it is, of the - closing of the entries-
Interviewer: That's an FIA regulation?
Peter: Yeah, that's an FIA regulation, an appendix 6 section c. And uh-
Interviewer: *Something about a lawyer, maybe joking Peter is like one*
Peter: And if you want to change these things, you have to get the signatures of all the competitors, and if one competitor doesn't agree to it, then they can't do it! And we are trying to do this now. We are all very mad about it.
Interviewer: When do you think it will be resolved?
Peter: Well, right now, with the noise by all *a person's name* from Maserati
Interviewer: Who is he making that noise with?
Peter: Everybody - well, all the people that matter, Chief Pittsburgh and Alec Coleman, I suppose, eventually, and Mr Talvoni, who was the lawyer from Ferrari; he is going after it as well. You see, from our point of view, um, if we go into the pits with a bent buckle smashed rear wheel, and we have to use the first wheel change as a spare wheel, we wouldn't be able to put it on, so we would just have to stop there. But the corvets and all the other entries from the, oh well, I won't state the country, have got the same size wheels on the front and the back.
Interviewer: *Something*
Interviewer: I have been hearing little talk that the course isn't as fast this year as the season last year, do you remember at all?
Peter: Yes, it doesn't seem to be as fast to me either. There are a lot of patches on it that have gotten much more slippery, one particular at the bottom end of the fast straight, first and second fast straight, one divides the two up.
Interviewer: How do you account for that?
Peter: Well there is a lot of water been allowed to lie on it, still does lie on it, and when you get water lying on concrete for any length of time, it becomes, it gets covered in sort of a greeny moss stuff which gets inground in the concrete and much slippery and also the tyre wear seems to have gone up a lot since last year um they resurfaced the course in one or two places and uh still a lot of bad bumps which have gotten worse I think, since last year, um I don't know whether it's because we are going faster or what it is but the course seems much bumpier than it was before. Also, um, well, I don't think they have the barrels and mark-bales in exactly the same position as they were before- one thing I like to say, I think, these 50-gallon oil drums, they got everywhere, they ought to be burnt in hell as far I am concerned. I think they are very, very dangerous things because if one car hits another one following, it's happened to me once, landed on me, 50-gallon oil drum, no light thing anyway. I think we could do well without those. Especially where if someone runs out of breaks and they have to go wide on the corner, then they are going into straw bales, and those 50-gallon oil drums is a very, very bad thing, I don't- it's one thing about the course that I think is very very bad indeed.

Today, I found an interview with 50s driver Peter Collins, which I am particularly excited about as there is hardly anything out there with his voice. It didn't come with any video, so I have uploaded it here as an audio file, which you can listen to. Below the cut is a transcript. If you play this on the Tumblr app, it might open up the audio player on another tab, FYI. I have also found another longer interview audio with him from 1957, which not only has clearer audio but is around four minutes long and features him ranting about safety. I should hopefully have that uploaded by the end of this week! Enjoy, you lovely folk!
Interviewer: Could you tell us your age?
Peter: 24
Interviewer: How long have you been driving?
Peter: Since I was 17
Interviewer: What car did you start on?
Peter: Originally a Cooper 500, and uh and Allard and then onto an 1100 Cooper and then onto an Aston Martin HWM
Interviewer: How long have you been driving for Aston Martin?
Peter: This is my sixth year
Interviewer: Are you on a professional team besides Aston Martin this year? A Grand Prix team?
Peter: Yes, Ferrari
Interviewer: You are driving for Ferrari on the regular team. What competition are you looking forward to today here?
Peter: Well, I think it's all going to be pretty up from what I can see. The whole race—the speed of the race—will be governed by the tyre wear, and I think that the people who got the tyres that will last the longest and the breaks that will last the longest should stand a very good chance.
Interviewer: What do you think of the American course here today in comparison to European courses?
Peter: Well I think it is a great improvement on three years ago when I was here for the first time. It's uh it compares with certainly courses in England um that are held the same way on areograms circuits but really on the continent, the courses, in my opinion anyway, for my money, a little bit better *something* use the roads and uh they have natural hazards and not artificial ones which I think is a much better thing from racing standpoint.
Interviewer: Could you give us some performance figures on the Aston Martin, top speed and zero to sixty in...
Peter: Well, that's very difficult for me! Um, Mr (Wild?) could do it better than I could. I only know the things sort of maximum resolutions in minutes and, haha, what lap times we do. Um, I think they can go from, I don't know, I think they go from nought to one hundred miles an hour in about 16 seconds, I think, I'm not too sure. It depends on the axel ratio, of course. And a maximum speed is about 160 miles per hour.
