I remember sitting in this car after Graham won the ‘62 championship. The car was ‘toured’ a short time laterwards and visited the ‘Debenhams’ store in Bristol. Of course it had a ‘Do not touch’ sign around it but it was unattended, so dad said’jump in quick’. So I did - I was 11 years old !

What a life: 1) 2-time World Champion 2) Indianapolis 500 Winner 3) LeMans Winner 4) 5-time Monaco GP Winner and to top it all off, a fellow World Champion in his own son.

Graham and Damon Hill. Both class acts and legends of Formula one😊😊

Damon, your father was a legend of Motorsport. And you are a legend of Motorsport. Cheers from the Land Down Under.

Damon Hill - what an absolute gentleman! Honouring another absolute gentleman - his dad! Damon’s tenure in F1 was without any shadow of a doubt my favourite F1 era - I thoroughly enjoyed following his successes at the height of his career. It’s not really been the same since he retired.

Damon, you wont remember but i met you and your family at Silverstone when i was 4 or 5 according to my father, ie 1968/9. i think it was an Aston Martin owners club meeting or something, my dad raced in formula libre and your father was topping the bill iirc. anyhoo back then there was the canteen for all in the paddock, and i was queueing up for breakfast with my older sister. when it was my turn the lady couldnt see me, quick as a flash your dad picked me up so she could see me. he then made sure she filled my plate with a full fry up, and he told her i wasnt to pay and he paid for it. my parents were amazed but he was so kind and its his fault i love fry ups :) . anyway just wanted to say hello and i followed your dad's career avidly after that incident and naturally yours. my brother had to restrain me when schmacher punted you and prevented you winning the championship in an earlier year.

i have a huge respect for Damon.. he won and beat Michael schumacher fair and square..

Damon is making me feel old

Met G H once in Glasgow he had a real presence, incredibly smartly dressed amazing hair and was very kind to this young (then!) fan. A brief 30 second chat but HE made time!

What you have to remember is that this historic and amazing achievement was done from a little town called Bourne in Lincolnshire in practically a shed

Graham hill not only embodied everything that was good about the word fun, he also embodied the very best about the British character and our values of sportsmanship, fair play and generosity. Great video about one of greatest sportsmen ever

Oh, Damon. You're the sole reason I got into F1, back in 1996. I love you for your impact to my heart that you have caused. Damon/Graham Hill forever.

I met Damon at the Montreal F1. He was really nice and left me with my happy memory of F1.

I watched Graham Hill at the British GP Silverstone right at the end of his career when he was driving his own car. He was a backmarker but as a young lad he was still a God to me. I seem to remember Lauda and Hunt were also on the grid, Hunt in a Hesketh at the time.

As a Yank I can say without hesitation, that Graham Hill is the most British looking dude I've ever seen.

It’s uncanny how much Damon looks like Graham Hill behind the wheel of the BRM; must be related innt! 😂

I have enjoyed listening to Damon Hill talking about Dad Graham Hill winning 1962 championship with BRM F1 team back in the history of the sport.

Those were heroes, racing at that high speed aboard those four wheeled fuel tanks.

Fantastic, True Gentleman, I meet Damon briefly at Brands Hatch when you was racing motorbikes, and I had a rover 200 BRM.

Graham Hill was my Dad's favorite driver. I even had the Matchbox BRM. Very sad day when we heard about the plane crash. Rooted for Damon, naturally, during his time in F1. That must have been such an emotional moment to slip into that car.

Both Damon and his father had the very greatest of team mates. Jim Clark. Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost. Not easy to cope with these drivers.

I've followed Grand Prix racing since the 50s. There was no television or internet in those early days. I subscribed to Competition Press in 1958 to follow international racing. It was a wonderful publication with terrific writing and some photos of the cars. The cars of that era were beautiful, delicate, sleek creations without sponsor advertising. I still watch F1, even though in my view the current generation of cars are ugly behemoths compared to the 1962 BRM. I acknowledge that beauty vs. ugly is in the eye of the beholder. My comment is an opinion, not a fact.

What a wonderful birthday treat for Damon and Josh. Lovely films of Graham and BRM scooping the drivers and manufacturers championship. ( With commentary from Sir Stirling l believe!) I always remember Graham for his great humour . Thankyou,

I lived in Indianapolis as a kid. I had the biggest crush on Graham Hill. My dad was an engineer for Chrysler, so we always went to the Indy 500. Saw Graham Hill and asked my dad to teach me how to restore cars. He did and I have restored 10 British sportscars. Strange hobby for woman. They don't make guys like Mr. Hill anymore, sigh!

I’d like to see Damon drive a current F1 car

I saw Graham Hill racing at Sandown in 1969, as part of the Tasman Championship. It's a memory I will always cherish, and he was also one of my favourite drivers from that great period of 1960's motor racing.

Thank you Damon and Sky. Just thank you.

What a magnificent sight seeing all Graham’s cars on track, some great footage fro the archives too

Nice to see a doc on BRM for a change :)

Damon was always a class act.

Wow! What a great collection of cars. Great to see the original Lotus 49, number 6. I had a grandstand seat opposite the pit lane at Zandvoort in 1967 (first time out for the lotus 49 and the Cosworth DFV) and I remember Graham going like a bat out of hell to get pole position for the race. Unfortunately during the race, his car croaked on about lap 10 and I remember him manually pushing the car from the beginning of the Zandvoort straight to the pitlane (a distance of something like several hundred meters or so) You wouldn't see that being done today! Strangely I do not remember anything about Jim Clark actually winning the race. Of course, if I'd known this was going to be one of the more seminal races in Grand Prix history, I might have focussed more! Those high wings on the later Gold Leaf Lotus 49 were incredibly dangerous as those thin struts could not handle the downforce. And it's astonishing how small those 1.5 litre cars look compared to any other generation of F1 cars.

Hill is a true example of gentleman racing drivers. We all hold Hill in the same light as Jim Clark. I was once very disrespectful to Damon Hill not knowing far enough about him he was as a person and as a racing driver. I wish I could apologize to him, because I didn't know what I was talking about. And Damon Hill is an incredible racing driver in his own right. And the days that they drove and Formula 1, nothing was handed to these men. They were the best of the best

Damon Hill is a class act, and a genuinely good person. I suggest you all read his autobiography 'watching the wheels'. Great story with a lot of stuff about Graham in there as well.

Not the first time he’s driven it at Goodwood

Graham Hill was not only one of the greatest drivers of all time, but he was also the undisputed World Champion of great hair.😄

Thanks for that Damon a pleasure to watch.

Graham could be a really funny guy, Theres some great interviews between him and Jackie Stewart on YT. One where Graham says to Jackie "You won 6 GP's this year which is hogging it a bit". While on another hes asked about the power generated by the F1 cars. His reply "Well I don't generate it myself, though I have my moments".

Damn, he looks just like his dad!

God willing, Damon will soon be older than his Dad was when he left us..🙏

Damon in his time was quick, given enough time he was able to extract the fastest lap bar one other.. He wasn't a natural overtaker and racer like Nigel, so generally qualified up front but was more likely to drop back during a race.. The best lap time guy around a track was Mika by a proverbial mile, but the racers of yesteryear who drove death traps deserve more credit than they actually get.. If you came off at certain points on track you died, that doesn't exist today and should be reflected.. Love Damon, he was and is a Brit all said and done , Nigel was easily up there with Ayrton and he admitted as much.. Nigel had a life off track but sadly nothing made Ayrton happy but racing.. Nigel was the best I've ever seen in the turbo era, 900bhp in qualifying with little aero to keep it tamed!

Pair of British legends. Always loved .

Those Alan Mann Escorts always look superb.

Go Damon 💚🤍❤️

I managed to snap a picture of Damon in his Jordan in the pits at silvestone. He was fully focused, just about to go out and it’s great picture.

the definition of dapper

Fantastic Legends 👍👍

Still got my 2 BRM scalelectric cars. They still run.

Love you Damon!

Ola senhor Hill teu exemplo honrado na F1 é admirado por todos os brasileiros.

Both huge figures that I admire greatly, but seeing Damon next to his father's picture, I do wish he had inherited some of his tonsorial sense.

Be really great to see South Africa be included in the lineups of F1 race circuits again 😀

Great stuff 👍

legendary!

It must have been lovely for him to drive it

Does Graham's Embassy Shadow still exist and is restored I wonder.

Hey Sky Sports.. Any change of uploading the film from a few years ago, where Bruno Senna, Damon and Martin Brundle drove Aytron's cars at Donington that was a feature for Senna week on Sky F1?

BRM fine, but Team Lotus Forever! Jim and Graham. Thanks Damon and your mom. How the heck any wives put up with this stuff, I will never know. God bless them. Got 2010 Toyota Matrix , only 76K miles on it. Team Lotus sticker in rear window in honor.

Times of gladiators.

Clever use of engine rev sound as team name.

i want to know Damon do you have his Shadow he built ,made a TV Documataro of it as they built it.?

That Glover Trophy win was the same race Sir Stirling had his accident in wasn't it?

With all due respect to Fernando Alonso, I did pray to the Goddess of motorsports he never won the Indy 500, because by no means he should be on the same level as sir Graham Hill (yes, I have just knighted him) under any circumstances. And I keep praying to her that no driver ever wins the quadruple crown, that is, Monaco, Indy 500, the Formula One title, and the 24 hours of Le Mans. Amen

❤❤❤

Damon Hill dosent get the credit he deserved. I personally think he would have wrapped the 97 title up before the last round if he was kept by Williams

... jeez you look old Damon... ipso facto, I must look ancient :0(

So strange to see race cars that aren't covered in advertising.

Мне иногда бывает досадно, когда KZfaq предлагает тему, до которой я сама не догадалась, чтобы самостоятельно найти её. Вот как сейчас: Damon едет на спортивном авто его отца. Ну почему я сама не догадалась скомбинировать в голове эту, такую логичную ситуацию !

Damon,you have goggles this time unlike Bourne

Watching Goodwood Revival makes me wonder if going all-electric is the future people really want. I rather see future development of sustainable fuel instead.

Shame they didn't have a Monti Carlo winning Mini Cooper.

Where is his Indy 500 winner car?

Not a gentleman at all. Asked for his autograph at Heathrow airport for a friend of mine; she was his number one fan. Let's just say he didn't give a sh...! I was very respectful and polite by the way.

year i was born 62

Я болел за Хилла,никогда мне Шумахер не нравился

Those roads in Germany 😬

with hunt, THE luckiest F1 Champion

🤗🇯🇵👍

BRM supporters signal that he is still in second position....!

Brilliant!!

I want to hear the cars ,not blather talk !!!

Lotus not bloaters.

ちょっと待て、一体いつの間にこんなジイさんになったんだ !?

Won the Monaco GP, Le Mans, and the Indy 500. Alonso tried and failed.

So many Tories in the comments

Damon, shame on YOU !!! You'd better take care of your fathers grave. It looks aweful. Looks like you have been there the last time 50 years ago. No flowers, nothing. Looks like a junkyard. Unwothy for my lifetime hero.
