Damon Hill wrote his name into the Formula 1 history books with his 1996 title success with Williams.
What made it extra special was that he had followed in the footsteps of his legendary father Graham, who himself was a double world champion from the 1960s. Hill Sr sadly died in a November 1975 plane crash when his son was only 15 year old, but still Damon inherited his dad's love of speed.
At first, though, cars were a secondary concern. Despite growing up in the F1 paddock during the height of his father's career, Damon developed a passion for motorbike racing and, at first, pursued that path.
