Legendary Formula 1 champion Graham Hill was due to receive a knighthood just a few weeks after his tragic death in a plane crash, his son Damon has revealed
Hill is regarded as one of the best motorsport drivers of all time. The Londoner won two F1 world championships in the 1960s and remains the only racer ever to complete the elusive 'Triple Crown'.
To join that mythic club of one, a racer must win the Monaco Grand Prix, the Indy 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. So dominant on the streets of Monte Carlo was Hill that he won the race five times – earning him the nickname of "Mr Monaco".
