    Damon Hill

    When Nico Rosberg recently became the 2016 Formula One world champion it was the second time that a father and son combination had both been F 1 World Champions. Nico and Keke Rosberg were preceded by Graham and Damon Hill.
    I remember growing up and seeing the photos of young Damon with his father and was envious of what a wonderful life that would be and how easy it would be for him to get into motor racing but due to a terrible tragedy it was not that way at all.

    In this great 1961 photo it shows Damon entertaining Bruce McLaren, Stirling Moss, Tony Brooks, Graham Hill, Jo Bonnier and Wolfgang Von Trips ( shortly before he died at Monza that year)

    Later in 1967 here is Damon steering his dad's Team Lotus type 33 along pit lane. (The envy of every young lad !)
