Damon Graham Devereux Hill, OBE (Order of The British Empire) famously called Damon Hill in the world of Formula 1 is a former racing driver and son of Graham Hill, who himself was a former racing driver as well as two-time Formula One world champion. Hill, along with Nico Rosberg, are the only two sons of Formula One world champions to win the title. He started racing on motorbikes in 1981, and after a minor success, he moved on to single-seater racing cars.

Despite progressing steadily to the ranks in the international Formula 3000 championship by 1989, and often being competitive, he never won a race at that level. Hill became a test driver for the title-winning Williams team in 1992. He was then promoted to the Williams race team the following year after Riccardo Patrese’s departure and took the first of his 22 victories at the 1993 Hungarian Grand Prix. Damon Hill was Micheal Schumacher’s title rival for the Formula One Driver’s Championship, which resulted in the clash of these two several times, on and off the track. Their collision at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix gave Schumacher his first title by a single point. Hill became the champion in 1996 with eight wins but was dropped by Williams for the following season. He went on to drive for the less competitive Arrows and Jordan teams, and in 1998 gave Jordan their first win.
