Damon Hill, the world's No 2 Formula One racing driver (after Michael Schumacher) in 1994 and 1995, believes that third time will be lucky in 1996, especially as his foe and rival has transferred to the Ferrari team this year. This book not only provides a guide to Damon Hill's 1996 Grand Prix season, but it also studies the world of the Formula One driver and a gruelling season of 16 circuits spread across the globe. It describes the heady feelings of euphoria after a victory or the profound disappointment of defeat, and captures the passion and the pressure of the most high-profile, most glamorous and most dangerous sport of all. Damon's 1996 season started with three consecutive victories in Australia, Brazil and Argentina and he leads the drivers' table comfortably.

Damon Hill's Grand Prix Year

Pan Books, Ltd.

This is a first-hand insight into the life of a Formula One driver both on the track and off. More than an account of Damon Hill's 1994 season, this is also an in-depth study of the Formula One driver's world, from the soles of his flame-proof boots to the heady feelings which come with success in this most dangerous and dramatic of sports. In it, Hill recalls the days when his father, Graham, a double world champion, made motor racing an integral part of family life, a sport Damon initially spurned in favour of motor bikes. In 1994, Hill had to face tragedy with the deaths of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna, his friend and teammate, at Imola. In the aftermath, Damon got back in his car and finished sixth. A few weeks later, in Barcelona, he came first. It was both a fitting tribute to Senna and a much-needed morale boost for everyone in the Williams team. The book is illustrated by Jon Nicholson, a long-time friend of Hill's.

Watching the Wheels: My Autobiography

2016 marks the twentieth anniversary of Damon Hill's coronation as Formula One World Champion. For the first time ever he tells the story of his journey through the last golden era of the sport when he took on the greats, including Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher, and emerged victorious as World Champion in 1996, stepping out of the shadow of his legendary father Graham Hill.
Away from the grid, Watching the Wheels is an astonishingly candid account of what it was like to grow up as the son of one of the country's most famous racing drivers. It also tells the unflinching story of dealing with the grief and chaos that followed his father's tragically early death in an aircraft accident in 1975, when Damon was fifteen years old.
Formula One drivers have always been aware of their mortality, and the rush that comes with the danger of racing was as intoxicating for Hill as it had been for his father's generation, until he came face to face with catastrophe when his teammate, Ayrton Senna, was killed in 1994. The swirling emotions that Hill experienced in light of the death of Senna was a defining moment for his generation of drivers, and for the first time ever Hill talks candidly about the impact that Senna had on his life, even as he watched his own son step into motor racing.
Courageously honest, and hugely rewarding, Watching the Wheels is a return to the last golden era of F1 racing, whose image still burns ferociously for those who love the sport for what it reveals about human skill in the face of near-certain death.

Lights Out, Full Throttle: Stories from the Pit Lane

Stories from the pit lane from Formula One's leading comic double act.Lights Out, Full Throttle is the hilarious account of life in the F1 pit lane from two legends of the sport, Damon Hill and Johnny Herbert.Damon and Johnny here. Motorsport's answer to Ant and Dec, just a lot more comprehensible and, all in all, a wee bit taller.Between us we have about 100 years' experience of driving cars quickly and have competed in 261 Grand Prix spawning 25 wins, 49 podiums, one World Championship and 458 championship points. We even have a win at Le Mans to our names, as well as two smashed ankles, a broken arm, a broken wrist, a broken leg, about sixty broken ribs, a pierced upper thigh that missed Johnny's twig and berries by millimetres, and a bruised ego or three.Basically, we're two middle-aged men who are both what you might call physically compromised. That said, contrary to popular belief, we still have a modicum of bladder control and can talk Formula 1 with the best of them. Which brings us to our book. Despite its immense popularity, when it comes to things like humour and absurdity, Formula 1 is not exactly a ride on the big dipper and in that respect it hasn't buttered our parsnips for decades.Well, nil desperandum boys and girls because we, Damon Graham Devereux Hill, OBE, and John Paul Herbert, No BE, are here to put the F back into Formula 1 by ditching aerodynamics, clean air and tyre degradation in favour of honest, forthright opinions and apocryphal stories involving automotive derring-do. And, derring-don't!
