How good would Hill have been if he had progressed throughout the racing ladder like everybody else through karting and junior racing? We'll never know.

Just look at 1997 Hungarian GP... says it all about him

Download his audiobook, it’s incredible. I thought it was an easy ride for him because of his name . I was totally wrong, he fought his way to the top and beat the best

I wish he could have had a real F1 career from an earlier age. He could have been greater than Mansell. He was in his late 30's when he won his championship in '96 and that's an age where most drivers are considered to be losing their edge. To be able to consistently take the fight to a young Michael Schumacher in his prime speaks volumes about Damon's natural talent. A shame he only got his shot late on for sure but he delivered in the end and that's what counts!

I agree. No one really knew how successful Schumacher was going to be. What he managed to achieve despite being a late starter in motor racing is really incredible. Its just a shame the cars he drove after Williams were not Championship winning standard

@@thrillathakilla Indeed his career followed the natural path once he reached F1. Win the title in a top team and then let your career wind down in the slower teams. If he had been there 5 years earlier I have no doubt he could have been a triple world champion with how strong the Williams cars were. This is providing history took its course and Senna still met his tragic fate. If Ayrton had lived we would have more than likely seen him on top from '94 until '96 at least with '97 an added bonus if he still had the wind in his sails which, if Villenueve in his 2nd season can beat a double world champion in Schumacher, Ayrton would have sailed through that task. It hurts me sometimes to speculate on what could have been so I try to avoid it.

Plus, he is a true sport.

Frank Williams disagrees with you fanboys

*2 seasons before. Also you could argue that had he had a less scrappy 1995 then Williams wouldn't have dumped him and he may have also won the 97 title. Such a nice guy, one title or three I've always had great time for Hill

I remember seeing Damon in the FW16 on the banking at Monza in 92 in the background of a Mansell ESPN interview for the first time immediately recognized the helmet...had never heard of him.

morally a double World Champ

@@marcushogan6613 I'll never forgive Williams for what they did. They were dodgy with a few drivers. Mansell got screwed by them, Damon got screwed by them, Ayrton was vetoed out of being offered a contract with them for 1993. They were successful in those years 1991-1997 but you can be successful without being disloyal and cutthroat. Damon galvanised the team in 1994 and almost won a title in his second season before being taken out, and in 1995 had a string of bad luck and that was Williams' excuse to drop him for 1997. Serves them right that he took the #1 away from the team with him and they haven't had the chance to use it since.

To follow on, they had that form with employees too. Adrian Newey was screwed by them in the end and he left for McLaren and it's safe to say the Williams team felt that one. I'm not taking anything away from the team's achievements. They achieved a lot and showed great determination, but I have always struggled to fully respect a team if they show repeatedly in their actions that they aren't completely worthy of that respect. Red Bull spring to mind with some of their behaviour with drivers, and Ferrari are another team who really screwed over their drivers and they still do it to this day to their own undoing. They believe they are bigger than the sport. Williams were not guilty of this but they are almost in that same vein. Anyway, rant over, I'm not trying to be controversial, I just felt like the home truth needed saying.

I totally agree. It used to get you in the right mood for watching the Grand Prix.

I remeber in spa in 1998 je won leading over a tremendous rain. He did awesome that day. He fought schumacher with a honda engine that was an average one back then. I had to knew more about him and im glad to research that. Damon is incredible

Sir Frank deserves no praise. He treated both Mansell & Hill with absolute contempt. Disgusting man & happy to see him & his team in the dust! Let's not even get started on his oversight of lies in Sennas death!

@@rehabdrew7626 I'm feeling that your comment is kinda based.

​@@rehabdrew7626I don't blame Frank Damon cost the team a driver's championship in 1994, but yeah Michael Schumacher took him out 🤡

​@@rehabdrew7626 It was his poor 1995 form that persuaded Williams to choose Frentzen over Hill for 1997.

Mansell and then hill.imagine that.tremendous

hill and button are indeed legends

Hamilton is dirty hypocrite piece of shit. Dirty driver. Cant be compared to Hill

@@SLqB11 Dirty driver how?

Stalled on the grid at Imola in 1994, which caused Pedro Lamy to crash into the back of his car, injuring 8 people in the crowd. Just one of a number of horrible crashes, 2 fatal, that weekend.

They had the best car anyone would of become champion 🏆 driving their car

@@tkah1564 so what u still have to win Michael Schumacher only won in 93 because of his car and 94 Michael Schumacher knocked him out of the road

@@andrewwright4195 Michael doesn't need a good car Ferrari didn't win for 20 years till Michael came around

@@tkah1564 you mean ross braun came out.without ron,schumacher was nothing

@@lucaslaino7292 then why Michael was the highest paid driver?? Why did he paid him 20 mil a year if he was nothing??

Why sadly? He won in good terms
