What happened on June 22 in Formula One history
1975
When Lord Hesketh decided to start a racing team, there was one driver he had in mind to fit the bill. Playboy racer James Hunt was signed up to drive for the squad and the F1 establishment was forced to start taking them seriously when Hunt took his and Hesketh's maiden victory at the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort. Although Hunt went on to become world champion, it was Hesketh's only victory in the sport.
