LEGENDS: Damon Hill – from ‘humiliation’ to World Champion

1996 World Champion Damon Hill joins Tom Clarkson in this Legends episode of F1 Beyond The Grid to reflect on his title triumph 30 years ago.

From four wins in the opening five races, to finding out he was being dropped by Williams at the end of the season while still in the championship fight, Damon talks candidly about the ups and downs of a very dramatic title-winning campaign.

He also tells Tom why and how he had to change his approach going into 1996 after some tough battles with Michael Schumacher on and off track the year before, and why he turned down an offer to sign for McLaren despite wanting to join them.
