Damon Graham Devereux Hill (born 17 September 1960) is an English formerracing driver andbroadcaster, who competed inFormula One from1992 to1999. Hill won theFormula One World Drivers' Championship in1996 withWilliams, and won 22Grands Prix across eight seasons.
Born and raised in London, Hill is the son of two-time Formula One World ChampionGraham Hill, and, along withNico Rosberg, one of two sons of aFormula One World Champion to also win the title. He started racing on motorbikes in 1981, and after minor success moved on to single-seater racing cars. Hill became a test driver for the Formula One title-winning Williams team in 1992. He was promoted to theWilliams race team the following year afterRiccardo Patrese's departure and took the first of his 22 victories at the1993 Hungarian Grand Prix. During the mid-1990s, Hill wasMichael Schumacher'smain rival for the Formula One Drivers' Championship, which saw the two clash several times on and off the track. Their collision at the1994 Australian Grand Prix gave Schumacher his first title by a single point. Hill became champion in1996 with eight wins, but was dropped by Williams for the following season. He went on to drive for the less competitiveArrows andJordan teams, and in1998 gave Jordan their first win.
Hill retired from racing after being dropped by Jordan following the1999 season. In 2006, he became president of theBritish Racing Drivers' Club, succeedingJackie Stewart. Hill stepped down from the position in 2011 and was succeeded byDerek Warwick. He presided over the securing of a 17-year contract forSilverstone to hold Formula One races, which enabled the circuit to see extensive renovation work. Hill formerly worked as part of theSky Sports F1 broadcasting support team providingexpert analysis during free practice sessions.
Hill was born inHampstead, London, to Graham and Bette Hill.Graham Hill was a racing driver in the internationalFormula One series. He won the world Drivers' Championship in 1962 and 1968, and became a well-known personality in the United Kingdom. Graham Hill's career provided a comfortable living. Bette (née Shubrook) was a former rower and medalist at theEuropean Rowing Championships.[1] By 1975 the family lived in a "25-room country mansion" in Hertfordshire and Damon attended the independentThe Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School.[2] Thedeath of his father in an aeroplane crash in 1975 left the 15-year-old Hill, his mother, and sisters Samantha and Brigitte in drastically reduced circumstances.[3] Hill worked as a labourer and a motorcycle courier to support his further education.[4]
Hill is married to Susan "Georgie" George and they have four children, includingJoshua.[5] One son was born withDown syndrome and Hill and Georgie are both patrons of the Down's Syndrome Association.[6] In 2009, Hill also became the first patron of St. Joseph's Specialist School and College, a school for children with severe learning disabilities and autism in Cranleigh, Surrey.[7] Joshua started racing in 2008,[8] competing in theBritish Formula Renault Championship in 2011.[9] Joshua retired from motor racing in 2013.[10]
Hill is the Patron of the charity Disability Africa which runs inclusion projects for disabled children in African countries.[11]
Hill started his motorsport career inmotorcycle racing in 1981. He used the same simple, easily identifiable helmet design as his father: eight white oar blades arranged vertically around the upper surface of a dark blue helmet. The device and colours represent theLondon Rowing Club for which Graham Hill rowed in the early 1950s.[12] Although he won a 350 cc clubman's championship at theBrands Hatch circuit,[13] his racing budget came from working as a building labourer. He also worked as a dispatch rider for Apollo Despatch in London, then later Special Delivery, a London motorcycle dispatch company and was provided TZ350 racing bikes by them.[14]
His mother, who was concerned about the dangers of racing motorcycles, persuaded him to take a racing car course at the Winfield Racing School in France in 1983.[15] Although he showed "above-average aptitude",[14] Hill had only sporadic single-seater races until the end of 1984. He graduated through BritishFormula Ford, winning six races driving aVan Diemen for Manadient Racing in 1985, his first full season in cars, and finishing third and fifth in the two UK national championships. He also took third place in the final of the 1985Formula Ford Festival, helping the UK to win the team prize.[16]
For 1986, Hill planned to move up to theBritish Formula Three Championship with title-winning teamWest Surrey Racing. The loss of sponsorship from Ricoh, and then the death of his proposed teammate Bertrand Fabi in a testing accident, ended Hill's proposed drive. Hill says "When Bert was killed, I took the conscious decision that I wasn't going to stop doing that sort of thing. It's not just competing, it's doing something more exciting. I'm at my fullest skiing, racing or whatever. And I'm more frightened of letting it all slip and reaching 60 and finding I've done nothing."[17] Hill borrowed £100,000 to finance his racing thanks to a sponsorship deal with Cellnet, as he explained to theFuelling Around podcast. The deal involved the sales expertise of David Hunt, brother of F1 driverJames Hunt.[18] He had a steady first season for Murray Taylor Racing in 1986 before taking a brace of wins in each of the following years for Intersport. He finished third in the 1988 British F3 championship.[19]
Hill made his F3000 debut withGA Motorsport in the final two rounds of the1988 International F3000 Season.
In Europe in the 1990s, a successful driver would usually progress from Formula Three either directly to Formula One, the pinnacle of the sport, or to theInternational Formula 3000 championship. However, for 1989, Hill did not have enough sponsorship available to fund a drive in F3000. He says "I ended up having to reappraise my career a bit. The first thing was to realise how lucky I was to be driving anything. I made the decision that whatever I drove I would do it to the best of my ability and see where it led."[20] He had a couple of outings with Cobra International in the lower levelBritish F3000 championship, securing a podium 3rd place at Oulton Park.[21] Midway through the season, an opportunity arose at the uncompetitive Mooncraft F3000 team. The team tested Hill andPerry McCarthy. Their performances were comparable but according to the team manager, John Wickham, the team sponsors preferred the Hill name.[22] Although his best result was a 14th place, Hill's race performances for Mooncraft led to an offer to drive aLola chassis for Middlebridge Racing in 1990. He took three pole positions and led five races in 1990, but did not win a race during his Formula 3000 career.[20]
During the 1987 season, he made the odd appearance in various one-make tin-top racing series, includingMG Metro Turbos,[23] (a press release photo depicted him posing with the #18 car,[24] thatBarbara Cowell drove that year,[25] but he actually drove the #16 car thatBarry McGuigan usually drove.[26][27])MG Maestros andSaab 900 Turbos.
He notably finished 3rd at Silverstone in the Maestro series, after fighting for the lead withGary Brabham early on. (Brabham won but neither were eligible for points as they were guest drivers.)[28]
He won, and set fastest lap, at Brands Hatch in the Saab series as a substitute forTiff Needell.[29][30]
In 1989, he shared aPorsche 962 atLe Mans forRichard Lloyd Racing, where the engine failed after 228 laps.[31]
In 1990, he competed in a one hour Endurance race in theBritish Touring Car Championship atDonington Park, co-driving theFord Sierra RS500 usually driven by Sean Walker, the pair finished 4th.[32]
Hill started his Grand Prix career during the1991 season as a test driver with the championship-winningWilliams team while still competing in the F3000 series.[33] However, midway through1992 Hill broke into Grand Prix racing as a driver with the dyingBrabham team. The formerly competitive team was in serious financial difficulties. Hill started the season only after three races, replacingGiovanna Amati after her sponsorship had failed to materialise.[34] Amati had been unable to get the car through qualifying but Hill matched his teammate,Eric van de Poele, by qualifying for two races, the mid-seasonBritish andHungarian Grands Prix. Hill continued to test for the Williams team that year and the British Grand Prix sawNigel Mansell win the race for Williams, while he finished last in the Brabham.[35] The Brabham team collapsed after the Hungarian Grand Prix and did not complete the season.[36]
When Mansell's teammateRiccardo Patrese left Williams to drive forBenetton in1993, Hill was unexpectedly promoted to the race team alongside triple World ChampionAlain Prost ahead of more experienced candidates such asMartin Brundle andMika Häkkinen.[37] Traditionally, the reigning driver's World Champion carried the number "1" on his car and his teammate took the number "2". Because Mansell, the 1992 champion, was not racing in Formula One in 1993, Williams as Constructors' Champion were given numbers "0" and "2". As the junior partner to Prost, Hill took "0", the second man in Formula One history to do so, afterJody Scheckter in1973.[38]
The season did not start well when Hill spun out of second place shortly after the start of theSouth African Grand Prix and failed to finish the race after colliding withAlessandro Zanardi on lap 17.[39] At theBrazilian Grand Prix, Hill qualified and spent the early stages of the race running second behind Prost, and then took the lead when Prost crashed, but was relegated back to second by another three-time World Champion,Ayrton Senna. Nevertheless, the race still gave Hill his first podium finish.[40]
In the next round inEurope, Hill again finished second behind Senna and ahead of a lapped Prost. In his first full season, Hill benefited from the experience of his veteran French teammate.[41] He continued to impress as the season went on, and inSan Marino Hill took the lead at the start, though he was passed by Prost and Senna and ultimately retired with a spin due to a brake failure.[42] Mechanical problems returned inSpain where he kept pace with Prost for most of the race only for his engine to fail.[43]
After strong podiums in Monaco and Canada, Hill took his first career pole inFrance, finishing second to Prost after team orders prevented him from seriously challenging for the win.[44] He looked set to win theBritish Grand Prix before another engine failure put him out and led theGerman Grand Prix comfortably only to suffer a puncture with two laps left, handing the win to Prost.[45]
At theHungarian race, Hill did take his first career win after leading from start to finish. In doing so he became the first son of a Formula One Grand Prix winner to take victory himself,[12] and he followed it with two more wins, first atSpa where he took the lead following a pit stop problem for Prost,[46] and then at theItalian Grand Prix where Prost's engine failed towards the end. His third consecutive win clinched the Constructors' Championship for Williams and moved him temporarily to second in the Drivers' standings.[47] At thePortuguese Grand Prix Hill came from the back of the grid to third, having stalled on the warm up lap from pole.[48] He finished the season by finishing fourth inJapan and third inAustralia, though he lost second in the Drivers' Championship to Ayrton Senna, who passed Hill by winning the last two races.[49]
In1994, Ayrton Senna joined Hill at Williams. As the reigning champion, this time Prost, was again no longer racing, Hill retained his number '0'. The pre-season betting was that Senna would coast to the title,[50] but the Benetton team andMichael Schumacher initially proved more competitive and won the first three races. At theSan Marino Grand Prix on 1 May,Senna died after his car crashed into a concrete barrier while he was leading. With the team undergoing investigation from the Italian authorities on manslaughter charges, Hill found himself team leader with only one season's experience in the top flight. It was widely reported at the time that the Williams car's steering column had failed, though Hill told BBC Sport in 2004 that he believed Senna simply took the corner too fast for the conditions, referring to the fact that the car had just restarted the race with cold tyres after being slowed down by a safety car.[51]
Hill represented Williams alone at the next race, theMonaco Grand Prix. His race ended early in a collision involving several cars on the opening lap of the race. For the following race, theSpanish Grand Prix, Williams's test driverDavid Coulthard was promoted to the race team alongside Hill, who won the race just four weeks after Senna's death.[52]
Schumacher led by 66 points to 29 by the midpoint of the season. At theFrench Grand Prix,Frank Williams brought back Nigel Mansell, for the French, European, Japanese and Australian Grands Prix with Coulthard doing the majority of the 1994 season. Mansell earned approximately £900,000 for each of his four races, while Hill was paid £300,000 for the entire season, though Hill's position as lead driver remained unquestioned.[53] Hill came back into contention for the title after winning theBritish Grand Prix, a race his father had never won.[54] Schumacher was disqualified from that race and banned for two further races for overtaking Hill during the formation lap and ignoring the subsequent black flag.[55] Four more victories for Hill, three of which were in races where Schumacher was excluded or disqualified, took the title battle to the final event at Adelaide. At Schumacher's first race since his ban, theEuropean Grand Prix, he suggested that Hill (who was eight years his senior) was not a world-class driver. However, during the penultimate race at theJapanese Grand Prix, Hill took victory ahead of Schumacher in a rain-soaked event. This put Hill just one point behind the German before the last race of the season.[56]
Neither Hill nor Schumacher finished the season-closingAustralian Grand Prix, after a controversial collision which gave the title to Schumacher. Schumacher ran off the track hitting the wall with the right-hand side of his Benetton while leading.[57] Coming into the sixth corner Hill moved to pass the Benetton and the two collided, breaking the Williams's front leftsuspension wishbone, and forcing both drivers' retirement from the race.[58] BBC Formula One commentatorMurray Walker, had often maintained that Schumacher did not cause the crash intentionally,[59] but Williams co-ownerPatrick Head felt differently. In 2006 he said that at the time of the incident "Williams were already 100% certain that Michael was guilty of foul play" but did not protest Schumacher's title because the team was still dealing with the death of Ayrton Senna.[60] In 2007, Hill explicitly accused Schumacher of causing the collision deliberately.[61]
Hill's season earned him the 1994BBC Sports Personality of the Year.[62]
Coming into the1995 season, Hill was one of the title favourites.[63] The Williams team were reigning Constructors' Champions, having beaten Benetton in 1994, and with young David Coulthard, who was embarking on his first full season in Formula One, as teammate, Hill was the clear number one driver. The year seemed to start well with pole position in Brazil, although a spin while in the lead due to a mechanical problem handed the lead to Schumacher.[64] But wins in the next two races put him in the championship lead. However, Schumacher won seven of the next twelve races, and took his second title with two races to spare, while Benetton took the Constructors' Championship. Schumacher and Hill had several on-track incidents during the season, two of which led to suspended one-race bans for both. Schumacher's penalty was for blocking and forcing Hill off the road at theBelgian Grand Prix;[65] Hill's was for colliding with Schumacher under braking at theItalian Grand Prix.[66] Hill's season finished positively when he won theAustralian Grand Prix by finishing two laps ahead of the runner-up,Olivier Panis in aLigier.[63]
In1996 the Williams car was clearly the quickest in Formula One and Hill went on to win the title ahead of his teammate, reigning Indycar championJacques Villeneuve, becoming the first son of a Formula One champion to win the championship himself.[67] Taking eight wins and never qualifying off the front row, Hill enjoyed by far his most successful season. At Monaco, where his father had won five times in the 1960s, he led until his engine failed, curtailing his race and allowing Olivier Panis to take his only Formula One win.[68] Near the end of the season, Villeneuve began to mount a title challenge and took pole in theJapanese Grand Prix, the final race of the year. However, Hill took the lead at the start and won both the race and the championship while the Canadian retired.[69] Hill equalled the record for starting all 16 races of the season from the front row, matching Ayrton Senna in1989 and Alain Prost in 1993.[70]
Despite winning the title, Hill learned before the season's close that he was to be dropped by Williams in favour ofHeinz-Harald Frentzen for the following season.[67] Hill left Williams as the team's second most successful driver in terms of race victories, with 21, second only to Mansell.[71] Hill's 1996 World Championship earned him his secondBBC Sports Personality of the Year Award, making him one of only five people to receive the award twice – the others being boxerHenry Cooper,Nigel Mansell,Andy Murray andLewis Hamilton. Hill was also awarded theSegrave Trophy by theRoyal Automobile Club. The trophy is awarded to the British national who accomplishes the most outstanding demonstration of the possibilities of transport by land, sea, air, or water.[72]
Hill became the fourth driver in nine years to win the World Drivers' Championship for Williams and not drive for the team the following season, as occurred withNelson Piquet (1987 champion –1988 driver forLotus), Nigel Mansell (1992 champion – 1993 driver in the US-basedIndy Car World Series instead of F1) and Alain Prost (1993 champion – retired in 1994). As World Champion, Hill was in high demand and had offers for a race seat fromMcLaren, Benetton andFerrari but not adequately financially valued despite his status.[61] As a consequence, he opted to sign forArrows, a team which had never won a race in its 20-year history and had scored only a single point the previous year. Hill's title defence in1997 proved unsuccessful, getting off to a poor start when he only narrowly qualified for theAustralian Grand Prix and then retired on the parade lap. The Arrows car, which used tyres from series debutantBridgestone and previously unproven Yamaha engines, was generally uncompetitive, and Hill did not score his first point for the team until theBritish Grand Prix atSilverstone in July. His best result for the year then came at theHungarian Grand Prix. On a day when the Bridgestone tyres had a competitive edge over theirGoodyear rivals, Hill qualified third in a car that had not previously placed higher than 9th on the grid. During the race, he passed his rival and new championship contender, Michael Schumacher, on the track and was leading late in the race, 35 seconds ahead of the eventual 1997 World Champion, Villeneuve, until a hydraulic problem drastically slowed the Arrows. Villeneuve thus passed Hill, who finished second.[73]
Only after one year with Arrows, Hill came close to signing a deal with Alain Prost's team, before deciding to instead sign up with theJordan team for the1998 season.[74] His new teammate wasRalf Schumacher, younger brother of Michael. In the first half of the season, theJordan 198 car was off the pace and unreliable[75] until improvements in performance from theCanadian Grand Prix. During that race, Hill progressed to second place as others retired or made pit stops for fuel. On lap 38, Michael Schumacher, who was delayed by a stop-and-go penalty after forcing Frentzen's Williams off the track, caught Hill on the home straight; Hill moved across the track three times to block Schumacher, who took the place by running over the kerbs at the last chicane. Hill then ran fourth after his only pit stop before retiring due to an electrical failure. After the race, Schumacher accused Hill of dangerous driving. Hill responded by stating that Schumacher "cannot claim anyone drives badly when you look at the things he's been up to in his career. He took Frentzen out completely."[74] At theGerman Grand Prix, Hill scored his first point of the year and at theBelgian Grand Prix, in very wet conditions, he took the Jordan team's maiden win. At that race, Hill was leading late in the race, with teammate Schumacher closing rapidly, when he asked the team whether they would be allowed to race each other. Team principal Eddie Jordan ordered Ralf Schumacher to hold position instead of risking losing a 1–2 finish.[76] The victory was his first since being dropped by the Williams team. Hill finished the season with a last lap pass on Frentzen at theJapanese Grand Prix, which earned him fourth place in the race and Jordan fourth position in that year's Constructors' Championship.[77]
Hopes were high for1999, but Hill did not enjoy a good season. Struggling with the newly introduced four-grooved tyres, he was outpaced by his new teammate, Heinz-Harald Frentzen, who was Hill's replacement at Williams two years prior.[78] After a crash at theCanadian Grand Prix, Hill announced plans to retire from the sport at the end of the year, but after failing to finish theFrench Grand Prix that Frentzen won, he considered quitting the sport immediately.[79]
Jordan persuaded Hill to at least stay for theBritish Grand Prix. Going into that race weekend, Hill announced he would retire after the Grand Prix, leading Jordan to testJos Verstappen in case Hill had to be quickly replaced.[80] Following a strong fifth place at his home event, however, Hill changed his mind and decided to see out the year.[81] His best result for the remainder of the season was sixth place, which he achieved in both Hungary and Belgium. With three races of 1999 to go, there were rumours that theProst Grand Prix team would releaseJarno Trulli early after he signed for Jordan's2000 campaign as Hill's replacement.[82] At the same time, his teammate, Frentzen, became a title contender going into the final few races of the season and, eventually, finished third in the championship. In so doing, both Hill and Frentzen helped Jordan to achieve its best-ever finish with a third position in the Constructors' Championship. Hill's last race was theJapanese Grand Prix where he spun off the track and pulled into the pit lane citing mental fatigue.[83]
In retirement Hill has continued to be involved with cars and motorsport. He founded the Prestige and Super Car Private Members Club P1 International with Michael Breen in 2000;[84] Breen bought Hill out in October 2006. Hill also became involved in aBMW dealership, just outside Royal Leamington Spa, that bore his name and an Audi dealership in Exeter. In April 2006, Hill succeededJackie Stewart as President of theBritish Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC).[85] He presided over the securing of a 17-year contract forSilverstone to hold Formula One races, which enabled the circuit to see extensive renovation work.[86]
He has managed the career ofSteven Kane,[87] who has since gone on to become a race winner in theBritish Touring Car Championship and theKumho BMW Championship[88][89] and a successful Endurance racer withBentley.[90]
In 2009 he received anHonorary Fellowship from theUniversity of Northampton recognising his successful career and his connection with Northampton through Silverstone and the BRDC.[91]
Hill also made a UK television advert with F1 commentator Murray Walker forPizza Hut, in which Walker commentated on Hill's meal as if it were a race.[92] Hill has also appeared on many British television programmes, includingTop Gear,This is Your Life,TFI Friday,Shooting Stars andBang Bang, It's Reeves and Mortimer.[93]
Hill has raced both cars and motorcycles at theGoodwood Festival of Speed,[94].
In 2002, he took part in a Minardi 2-seater F1 car race at Donington Park withBev Turner as his passenger, he finished 3rd.[95]
In 2005, he tested the newGP2 Series car.[96] He drove the 600 bhp (450 kW)Grand Prix Masters single seater racing vehicle for a test run around the Silverstone Circuit in mid-2006. He had discussions to join the series limited to retired Formula One drivers who were aged 45 or over but these talks did not materialise in a drive.[97][98]
Hill served as the driver representative on the stewards' panel at the2010 Monaco Grand Prix which decided to penalize Hill's former rival Michael Schumacher for overtaking under yellow flag conditions. The decision led to Hill receiving hate mail.[99]
Between 18 and 19 May 2012, Hill, along with former British F3Mark Blundell, Perry McCarthy,Martin Donnelly andJulian Bailey (collectively nicknamed "The Rat Pack" back in the day) participated in the first round of the VW Scirocco R-Cup at Brands Hatch to raise funds for the Halow Charity.[100] Hill completed seven laps of the circuit before retiring.[101] On 7 October 2012, Hill drove his father'sBRM in celebration of the 50th anniversary of having won the 1962 F1 World Championship.[102] In June 2018, Hill became the President of theBrooklands Trust Members who are the support group forBrooklands Museum.[103]
Hill published his autobiography,Watching the Wheels, in 2016, in which he revealed he had suffered withdepression.[104]
Hill has frequently appeared in the British media. In June 1975, he appeared alongside his father on the television programmeJim'll Fix It.[105] He again appeared on the programme in January 1995, marking the twentieth anniversary of the show.[106] He has contributed many articles toF1 Racing magazine and has twice appeared inITV F1's commentary box, covering for Martin Brundle at theHungarian Grand Prix in2007 and2008.[107]British Sky Broadcasting signed Hill to join their Formula One presentation team onSky Sports F1 as apundit starting from the2012 Formula One World Championship.[108] Hill resigned after the2024 São Paulo Grand Prix, having worked as an analyst across 13 seasons.[109] In March 2025, it was announced that Hill would be a pundit for BBC's radio coverage of the2025 Formula One season.[110][111]
Hill was interested in music from an early age and formed thepunk band the "Hormones" with some friends while at school. After achieving success in Formula One, he was able to play guitar with several famous musicians, including his friendGeorge Harrison, and appeared on "Demolition Man", the opening track ofDef Leppard's 1999 albumEuphoria. "I'm quite proud of that one to be honest", Hill told theFuelling Around podcast. "You can actually hear my guitar as they fade it out towards the end of the song. I think it fits well with the track and it went platinum!"[112]
Hill also made a regular appearance at the British Grand Prix alongside other Formula One musicians such as Eddie Jordan. After his retirement at the end of the 1999 season, Hill devoted more time to music and played with celebrity bands includingSpike Edney's SAS band,[113] andPat Cash's Wild Colonial Boys.[114] Hill also formed his own band, The Conrods, which was active between 1999 and 2003 and played cover versions of well-known songs fromThe Rolling Stones,The Beatles andThe Kinks. Since becoming president of the BRDC in 2006, Hill says he has stopped playing the guitar, being "too busy doing school runs and looking after pets."[115]
