Damon Hill, OBE was the Formula One World Champion of 1996 and the winner of 22 Grand Prix’s during his Formula One career which saw him make 122 race starts. He is the son of the late double Formula One world champion, Graham Hill and is the only son of a world champion to win the title.

Damon came to professional motor sports relatively late; he began racing motorcycles in 1983 at the age of 23 and commenced his Formula One career in 1992. He took the first of his 22 victories at the 1993 Hungarian Grand Prix for the Williams team and won the British Grand Prix, a race his father had never won in his long and successful career.

In 1996 Damon took eight victories and eventually the world championship.  He retired from the sport at the end of the 1999 season and in 2006, became president of the British Racing Drivers' Club, succeeding Jackie Stewart.
