About this product

Product Information

Starting with his childhood, as the only son of double World Champion Graham Hill, this book charts the racing career of Damon Hill right through to the dramatic 1994 season. It fully examines the controversies and rancour that dogged the Hill-Schumacher battle for the 1994 World Championship, up to the final race in Adelaide, and chronicles the events of 1994, including Ayrton Senna's tragic death, and how Hill was thrown into the premier driver role in only his second full season in Formula 1. The author follows Hill's racing career, from starting on motorcycles in 1979, via FF1600 and then Formula 3000 programmes, to working as the Williams test driver in 1993 when he was promoted after Nigel Mansell's defection to IndyCar. It analyzes Hill's personality, and how coping as a teenager with his father's sudden death, and more recently with the birth of his Downs Syndrome son, helped shape his down-to-earth approach to life.
