Damon Hill | Speaker Biography

Winner of the 1996 FIA Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship
Achieved 22 Formula 1 race victories, ranking in the top 15
Sky Sports F1 broadcaster and analyst

Damon Hill is a prominent figure in motorsport and the 1996 FIA Formula 1 World Drivers' Champion. He is celebrated for his remarkable racing career, memorable battles with Michael Schumacher, and partnership with the late Ayrton Senna at Williams in 1994. The son of double Formula 1 World Champion Graham Hill, Damon began his racing journey later than many of his peers. He initially worked as a dispatch rider to fund his passion. He started competing on motorcycles, achieving success in every race in 1984.

Damon's path to Formula 1 was marked by persistence. He competed in various championships, including the Saab Championship, British Touring Car Championship, and Le Mans 24 Hours. His dedication paid off when Williams hired him as a test driver in 1991, eventually leading to his debut with Brabham in 1992 at the British Grand Prix.

His breakthrough came during his time with Williams, where he achieved three wins and ten podiums in his first full season. In 1994, he excelled with six victories, notably winning his home Grand Prix at Silverstone, and showcased his resilience following the tragic loss of Ayrton Senna. Despite finishing just one point shy of the championship that year, Damon solidified his status as a leading driver in the sport.

The pinnacle of Damon's career occurred in 1996, when he claimed the Drivers' Championship with eight wins, further cementing his legacy as one of the sport's greats. His accomplishments extend beyond the racetrack, as he has served as President of the British Racing Drivers' Club and has been a member of the Sky Sports F1 broadcasting team since 2012. Damon's journey is a testament to determination and excellence in motorsport.
