Here we are over 50 years later still watching this as it's incredibly interesting without drama and straight to the point. Graham was iconic, sadly he died just 3 years after this was filmed.

I was only 6 years old when he died and I live here in the U.S.A. However, I heard his name a thousand times growing up in the 1980s. I heard people talk about him so much I didn't know he passed so long ago. I think that says alot about the man to be spoken of so often by the racing community for years after.

At Stirling Moss’s memorial, Sir Jackie Stewart said we’d never celebrated the life of any sportsman in that way. Had Graham Hill lived, we probably would have. Look at the other clips of him on KZfaq- charming, funny and of course fast. I remember him doing road safety when I was a kid and I also remember his plane crash and how sad it made us.

This video is so awesome. I wish I could've experienced F1 back then as a fan. The 1970s was an awesome era and like the wild west of F1 when it came to car designs. No computers, all mechanical, with a gear shift lever. Teams could do whatever. The drivers were also legendary. I remember seeing the Tyrrell P34 6 wheeled F1 race car from 1975-76. Then I saw Brabham had the "fan" car design and was super fast because of the insane down force it created in 1978. Having the chance to see both those cars in person really put into perspective how crazy F1 teams were back then and would do anything to win.

It was tragic the way he died, I’m sure with his experience and skill he could have made an impact with this team, it’s fascinating to see how small a set up it was, meetings at the pub, putting his overalls over trousers shirt and tie it was simply a project of love! Great days of F1!

The first time I encountered Graham Hill was at the Questor Grand Prix at Ontario Motor Speedway in 1971. I was taken aback when he walked into the loo. In 1975 I went to Lotus before the race at Silverstone and Peter Warr told me to watch for an announcement. When Embassy announced a press event on the Friday I showed up and attended Graham Hill’s retirement . . .

@@terrystevens5261, I had a reservation for a hotel the night before the race, but when I saw the potential traffic issues on race day, I made other arrangements. I stayed in a tent at the circuit with some follows from Stowe School who were regulars at the track; I had two RAC passes and I gave the second one to the young man I’d befriended. After the race I drove him back to school using the track, but, silly me, I missed his turn off two or three times. Twelve or thirteen years later I was in the paddock at Imola chatting with some of the photographers when a fellow I didn’t know called me by name. Since that day at Silverstone our circuitous routes had had brought me to Italy as a member of the media, and him there as member of Lotus.

Back then my family could easily afford a nice part of land and a nice house, while nowadays with similar jobs and money u would get a friendly handshake. the prices for land also went to the roof. also i did the calculation with the "offical" calculator. 90.000 pounds from 1973 is is roughly 949.000 pounds in nowadays money. 80.000 is what my grandmothers house cost my family in the 70ths.

Great documentary. He was my favorite F1 driver as a kid. I was fortunate to attend the 1968 & 1970 Mexican Grands Prix as a ten/twelve year old. Thanks to my dad’s job at Ford Motor Company, he obtained weekend pit passes. Different times back then; you could walk around in the back area of the garage stalls and see mechanics working on the cars and drivers walking around. I was able to get the race program signed by the drivers. It was a thrill to have Graham stop and talk to me briefly and sign my program. I still have the 1970 signed program with all drivers except John Surtees because he was in a foul mood over his new underperforming new car he built.

Watching Graham is always riveting - the wonderful articulacy and wit in the way he talked, the way he moved, his appearance, everything. There's still nobody in sport - anywhere - who's come close to Graham's amazing combination of tremendous achievement, hilarious humour and immense physical courage. All these years later - not even close. Thank you so much for this, though I'd have so loved to see the whole show! The state of his legs is quite something to see - he never really recovered from his 1969 accident at Watkins Glen when both his knees snapped 'backwards', along with other injuries, yet he seems to ignore this and moves very well. He was asked around this time, which is of course only two and a half years or so before his tragic, ridiculous and (to me anyway) still hard to believe death, whether his legs still hurt. He replied 'Only when I stand up'.

Great video! Absolute legend. It is interesting seeing them experimenting (then) new technology. I'm not sure if the compressed air thing in the helmet is really safe though.

Having won Le Mans with Matra in 1972, as the co driver of French darling Henri Pescarolo, Hill would have been better trying for a sports car drive I think. Many questions over that fatal air crash in the fog , he had the option to divert to a fog free airport but declined, rumours of the plane being overloaded with a DFV. Great man, very rich motorsport history, tragic end. No one will ever equal his triple crown achievement of wins, F1, Indianapolis and Le Mans .RIP.

Please share the rest of this documentary!! I was enthralled, and 100% plot committed. I’m going to need some resolution, if you beauties at the bbc could accommodate a yank.

We trying to get a “pint into a half-pint pot” as that basic anthology from Graham makes a lot of sense even to an aerospace performance engineer like me

One very cool man absolute legend every one who had something to do with him liked him I had the fortune to meet Damon in Adelaide in 1994 and thought wow I bet he he is just like his Dad Damon was impressive in the Car and I thought if F1 had rules like they have in football Schumacher should have been fouled out and Damon should have been Champion never would’ve happened in Grahams time all the drivers were reasonable no one would bang wheels in open wheel cars but Senna And Schumacher brought road rage into Formula One sorry about my winging

I think Gilles Villeneuve and Rene Arnoux set the precedent for wheel banging, and that was long before Senna and Schumacher came along. but you are correct, they were thugs too.
