00:00:30The Grand Finale for the Australian Grand Prix

00:00:58will decide the 1994 World Championship.

00:01:04In my whole life, people had been asking me

00:01:06if I was going to be a racing driver like my dad.

00:01:12The truth is, I never wanted to become a racing driver.

00:01:17And yet, there I was, within a point of winning the World Championship.

00:01:21It's almost like I was trying to get back to the start again.

00:01:28Get back to the place that it all went off the rails.

00:01:33A lot of people have come in the hope that this man is going to go,

00:01:49to do something that his late great father,

00:01:53double world champion, Graham Hill Dick.

00:02:05And if I could get back to the start again,

00:02:10maybe I could put right everything that went wrong.

00:02:13Australia is gone!

00:02:23Australia is gone!

00:02:27Australia is gone!

00:02:41That is a normal movie.

00:02:46The World Championship has literally been torn from his hands.

00:03:16For Damon to be saying it's too slow, it must be too much real spin then.

00:03:29He was kind of on the peripheries of a friendship group.

00:03:33He says we went to the same parties, I have no memory of him whatsoever.

00:03:39On one particular party night, I saw him sitting outside, clad from head to toe in grimy leathers

00:03:47and sitting astride this big motorbike and I think, ooh, OK, you know.

00:03:54And it was in a big warehouse and I looked across and on the other side of the room was

00:03:59Damon and it was like an epiphany.

00:04:02I understood with absolute clarity that that was my husband and it was the most peculiar

00:04:08thing because we'd literally said two words to each other, got rid of the guy I was talking

00:04:12to and I thought, I'd better go and talk to Damon and actually find out what my husband

00:04:17is like.

00:04:18When I met Georgie, she was wary.

00:04:40I saw that as a challenge to try and convince her I was someone she could trust.

00:04:46Damon was a very complicated guy.

00:04:55On the surface, he was joking and mucking about, but he was one of the saddest people

00:05:00I'd ever come across in my life.

00:05:07He just loved motorbikes and that's what he wanted to do.

00:05:14You're in your own world.

00:05:22On a motorbike.

00:05:24It is just freedom.

00:05:28His father won his first world championship in 1962, so he accepts whatever branch of

00:05:37racing he goes for, he'll always be in his father's shadow.

00:05:40I'm not my father.

00:05:42I hope might have a little bit of his talent, but I think mostly he had termination and that

00:05:50comes from something else.

00:05:52He can't inherit, so I'm still trying.

00:05:54We had this trip to some motorbike mechanic place and he needed his bike for the weekend

00:05:59and it all became very stressful and we suddenly screeched out to a stop outside this old church

00:06:07and churchyard and that's where his father was buried.

00:06:10He was absolutely bereft and in floods of tears and that was the first time he'd ever mentioned

00:06:16his father to me and that was six months after we'd met.

00:06:20If you look at the amount of races he did in the 60s and the places he raced in, it's not surprising.

00:06:33He wasn't there much.

00:06:38It was almost like the house came alive when he came back.

00:06:48He put on this air of being in control, but also had a twinkle in his eye.

00:06:59My dad had an attitude which was, I am going to make the most of every second of my life.

00:07:07Motivating obviously has got its dangers and because of this you become much more aware

00:07:16of life and you extract more out of life.

00:07:24You go out into the garden and you look at the flowers and you hear the birds and you see

00:07:28the grass and then you think, well, I'm sure there must be a garden.

00:07:32I cannot prove to myself that there isn't one.

00:07:42Journalists didn't think that. He was a natural driver.

00:07:45He gave the impression that he didn't have an innate ability and I think he must have done that.

00:07:49There's no way you can win the Monaco Grand Prix five times without having some natural ability.

00:07:54It can't just be done on pure determination and grit.

00:07:58But if you combine the two things, you get Graham Hill.

00:08:04I envy Graham Hill not just because he's a formidable driver but because he's also an original.

00:08:14I wasn't a car racing fan, but I definitely was a fan of Graham Hill.

00:08:19I didn't hope to clap quite so much about that one, but...

00:08:23Being a professional racing driver was lucrative in those days.

00:08:27You might call it danger money or whatever, but as a family, we got a real taste of the high life.

00:08:33Hello? Who said that? I did. What next? What do you think?

00:08:43We were very lucky children.

00:08:46Two daddies. Two daddies. Two Bridgetts. And two Damon. Gosh.

00:08:56When I was 15, he announced that he was going to retire from full-time racing.

00:09:00He wanted to concentrate on his team, Embassy Racing.

00:09:05Thank God for that, you know?

00:09:08Because we've lived with this our whole lives, that you could be killed in a racing car.

00:09:13And now you're going to stop. Thank God for that.

00:09:20Six months later, I was watching TV with my younger sister Samantha.

00:09:25We were expecting dad home. My mum is in the kitchen.

00:09:28And then we interrupt this program to bring you a news flash.

00:09:33It was late last night when Hill's own Piper Aztec smashed into a screen of trees.

00:09:40I can remember just that kind of wave of heat coming up through my legs and then just into my face.

00:09:47And I just remember just clocking what this meant. Not being sure, but being terrified.

00:09:56The crash on the edge of Arkley Golf Course virtually wiped out the Embassy Hill Racing Team, including two drivers and the manager.

00:10:03The plane burned out in minutes.

00:10:06I went up to her and said, Mum, they think there's a plane crash.

00:10:12What do you mean? I'd just seen it on the television.

00:10:18And she just went hysterical. She just started screaming and saying, getting very cross because she said, I knew it was too good to be true.

00:10:34It was the only one day before first.

00:10:52To that point onwards, it was just pandemonium and just horror, really.

00:11:19Yeah, just...

00:11:22That was the end, really.

00:11:27Really?

00:11:28Yeah.

00:11:29Yeah.

00:11:30Yeah.

00:11:31Yeah.

00:11:32Yeah.

00:11:33Yeah.

00:11:34Yeah.

00:11:35Yeah.

00:11:36Yeah.

00:11:37Yeah.

00:11:38Yeah.

00:11:39Yeah.

00:11:40Yeah.

00:11:41Yeah.

00:11:42Yeah.

00:11:43Yeah.

00:11:44Yeah.

00:11:45Yeah.

00:11:46Yeah.

00:11:47Yeah.

00:11:48Yeah.

00:11:49Then it turns out the plane wasn't insured.

00:11:52He didn't have the right license to support the business.

00:11:59He borrowed money.

00:12:03The other men on board had families too.

00:12:05Dad's estate was vulnerable from every angle.

00:12:08This is a mess and there's not going to be anything left to look after my mum or us kids.

00:12:15A lot of the things in the house went for auction and eventually the house had to go.

00:12:23I can remember feeling I would like to have been with him on the plane.

00:12:30I didn't want to be here.

00:12:32You know, I want, I would, I would have given up, you know, I would have exchanged places with someone else on the plane.

00:13:01We had been living together for a couple of years.

00:13:04He'd been away for a week and I missed him.

00:13:07So I'd made a nice supper and raining outside and cold.

00:13:11Two of G.

00:13:13Lamb chops.

00:13:14When he got back, he came in.

00:13:16I was literally getting the supper out of the oven.

00:13:21He said, I'm going to race in Formula One and I'm going to become a world champion.

00:13:26OK, that's great. You want some food, you know, and we kind of carried on eating.

00:13:31And I thought, well, he probably will.

00:13:34Because he absolutely is one of the most determined people I've ever met in my life.

00:13:40It's now eight years since Graham Hill, one of motor racing's greatest characters, was lost to the sport.

00:13:45Since that time, his 23-year-old son, Damon Hill, has been racing motorbikes.

00:13:49And at Brand's hatch yesterday, wearing his father's helmet,

00:13:52he made his motor racing debut in the Formula Ford 2000 Trophy.

00:13:56You're on the verge of your first race.

00:13:59What are your hopes and ambitions? Where do you want to go in the sport?

00:14:03Well, I'd like to go to the top.

00:14:05After my father had died, I did feel that I had a responsibility on my shoulders,

00:14:10especially towards my sisters.

00:14:12I'd like to, if I could in some way, I know it's probably impossible,

00:14:16but in some way fill his shoes a little.

00:14:19An emotional day, too, for Damon's mother, Betty,

00:14:23who'd seen his father rise from a club racer to world champion.

00:14:28Well, you've had your first experience of driving in race traffic.

00:14:31What do you think of it?

00:14:32It's pretty amazing, honestly.

00:14:34It's unbelievable.

00:14:36I'd started late, and so I was already in my mid-twenties.

00:14:46And so I was probably ten years too old.

00:14:49I'd been on bikes instead of co-cars.

00:14:51I had a bit of a steep hill to climb.

00:14:54I was able to run the job in, only I wasn't as consistent as some of the others.

00:15:09People I raced against started to slip away from me,

00:15:12and I got stuck on the rails a little bit,

00:15:15to the point where eventually I had no money left.

00:15:19So I'm now 28, with no job, no career,

00:15:25and we're about to have our first baby.

00:15:28Well, this is it.

00:15:29Christmas at the Hill household.

00:15:32Merry Christmas!

00:15:35Hey, this is a recording. This is my husband.

00:15:38I was prepared to drive anything,

00:15:40to keep my head above water and pay the mortgage.

00:15:45One of the guys I'd raced with

00:15:48was the test driver for Williams.

00:15:59The test driver literally was someone

00:16:01who just would do the donkey work.

00:16:05He was never going to get a shot at the number one slot at all.

00:16:08As a test driver, you were not going to make it in Formula One.

00:16:11But I was very keen to do this,

00:16:13because I needed the money.

00:16:15And I got a meeting with Frank Williams and Patrick Head.

00:16:22I knew of Frank, because he was around when my dad was racing.

00:16:26Is it a sport anymore?

00:16:28Oh, yeah. The name of the game here is competition.

00:16:30We're just trying to prove we're out there,

00:16:32the best people on the racetrack.

00:16:34I know what Frank wants.

00:16:36He wants a guy who's just going to do the job and do it properly

00:16:38and not be a big pain in the arse.

00:16:41Not like some of his drivers.

00:16:43I've been testing Nigel Mansell's car.

00:16:49It was just the most amazing car I'd have driven.

00:16:53I was there to break it, to find the flaws in it.

00:17:04I went round and round and round.

00:17:10Marge Mansell called me the monkey.

00:17:20Marge Mansell called me the monkey.

00:17:33Daniel, I suppose you'd really like to be wrestling those players for the rivalry.

00:17:37I wouldn't mind sleeping in them, actually.

00:17:39I feel part of the Williams team when I'm wearing the overalls,

00:17:43and obviously they're very successful.

00:17:45And the car is currently probably the best racing car that's ever been built.

00:17:50Best Formula One car.

00:17:52The world motor racing champion Nigel Mansell says he'll retire

00:17:55from Formula One competition at the end of this season.

00:17:58Alan Prost had signed, and Nigel Mansell was miffed by that

00:18:01and couldn't come to an agreement.

00:18:03I didn't want to come to an agreement with Frank.

00:18:05The issue of today, if you like, in my mind is who will be the second driver

00:18:10because we'd have decided, we shall decide this week.

00:18:13And suddenly, at the end of the season, at the last moment,

00:18:17when every other driver had signed contracts to drive for other teams,

00:18:20there was this empty space at Williams.

00:18:23And I thought, I've got this one chance to be in line for the best driver in Formula One.

00:18:30I even flew down to Adelaide in the last race of the season

00:18:34because I wanted Frank to see me.

00:18:38I hung around the back of the garage like a bad penny.

00:18:50I was told that Frank was coming down to this test in Portugal

00:18:53and he's on the verge of making his decision.

00:18:56You know, he's a big one.

00:18:57You know, and his ability to move around a car,

00:18:59and he's getting even more and more strong.

00:19:00All the engineers here push me for a day,

00:19:01I'm not sure.

00:19:02You know, and this will be perfect.

00:19:03And when I see him, he has a lot of talent,

00:19:04and he's really fast.

00:19:05You know, and I'm not sure how I understand this,

00:19:06but I don't know much better.

00:19:07You know, and that's the first one.

00:19:08He needs a lot of talent.

00:19:09He'll go fine.

00:19:10And the same voice.

00:19:11But the same voice tells me

00:19:13they don't know much better than I understand.

00:19:16You don't understand much better than I understand.

00:19:17Bakina.

00:19:18Yes, obviously.

00:19:19That's the first one.

00:19:20I guess in your life.

00:19:22You know, I don't get it.

00:19:23I had to fly down to Portugal on the Sunday night

00:19:29to be there for Monday to go testing.

00:19:333 o'clock, I got in my car to head off,

00:19:36and I'm stuck in this 50,000 people

00:19:40coming out of a football match.

00:19:43And I'm not going to make it for this test of a lifetime

00:19:46where Frank is going to decide whether or not I've got the drive.

00:19:51I got to Heathrow.

00:19:52I was thinking, I'm leaving this car on the ramp

00:19:55and they can blow it up, I don't care.

00:19:59I got the flight, I'm dripping in sweat, my heart is through the roof.

00:20:03And I look at the date,

00:20:05and it's the 29th of November,

00:20:08which is the day my dad died.

00:20:13And, er...

00:20:15You know, I thought, I've got to get this.

00:20:18Tell us, what was this? What the hell?

00:20:25Oh, crikey, hang on, David, there's a fax here for you.

00:20:27Oh, it's from Frank.

00:20:29Um, sorry, David, I've changed my mind.

00:20:32I think Huckerman is now driving for us for £7 million.

00:20:40Is it good?

00:20:41The primary purpose of this conference is to confirm that Damon will be

00:20:50the regular driver for Cannon-Williams and the Williams Renault cars

00:20:54in the 1993 World Championship.

00:20:56Primarily, our requirement from him is to not crash the car,

00:21:01is to get on the podium as often as he can,

00:21:03and, of course, therefore, and thereby,

00:21:06to win to obtain as many World Championship points in 1993

00:21:10to help the Cannon-Williams team retain its grip

00:21:13on the World Championship for Constructors.

00:21:16You will be responsible for your own travel

00:21:18and accommodation expenses at Grands Prixes,

00:21:21but we will pay for your wife to attend any races you designate.

00:21:28What's that on with that?

00:21:29That's not right. Never mind.

00:21:31You're not going to pay for your travel and accommodation, are you?

00:21:34No.

00:21:36You wouldn't have any money left at the end of the year.

00:21:38Oh, no. Well, that's what has to be, um, thrashed about, you see.

00:21:41You hear it?

00:21:43That's my fax. My contract going through to Williams.

00:21:49What about Dad?

00:21:49What would he have thought of all this, do you think?

00:21:52I think he'd be very, uh, very excited, indeed.

00:21:55And, uh, perhaps, perhaps he'd be a bit proud of me as well.

00:22:05This year, there's every prospect of a season of excitement

00:22:08and drama and real competition.

00:22:12Three-times world champion Alain Prost is back

00:22:15to lead the Williams team.

00:22:17An Ayrton Senna, who we feared might be taking a year off,

00:22:21is here driving an all-new McLaren Ford.

00:22:24I was trying to be what they wanted,

00:22:31but, uh, I felt like I was in a very thin ledge.

00:22:38I knew I'd got to Formula One lane.

00:22:40I knew I was given a golden opportunity.

00:22:44Now I have to get the stamp of approval as a Formula One driver.

00:22:48I've got to make this stick.

00:23:00Away they go.

00:23:01Senna's got a superb start.

00:23:03Damon Hill is into second position

00:23:06as they go into the first left corner.

00:23:08And look at that, a complete spin by Damon Hill.

00:23:11He's overdone it.

00:23:12And Damon Hill is in 12th position.

00:23:18Oh!

00:23:19That's Hill going off with Zanadi.

00:23:23Disappointing debut for Williams.

00:23:29Not a great start.

00:23:30I satisfied everyone's doubts about me

00:23:37because there were a lot of people

00:23:39who were doubtful that Frank had done the right thing

00:23:41at signing someone as inexperienced as myself.

00:23:49There are definitely drivers

00:23:51who have no doubts about themselves.

00:23:53Second place driver, Ayrton Senna.

00:23:55My confidence was conditional on me performing well.

00:24:00If I perform badly, then the little gremlins would creep in

00:24:04and go, well, maybe I'm not up to it.

00:24:10But I could not afford to fail.

00:24:12We didn't expect our first child

00:24:24to have a learning disability.

00:24:27For me, the first 24 hours were really hard.

00:24:31And I just thought,

00:24:34I don't know if I can do this.

00:24:38I'm going to be overwhelmed by this.

00:24:42And the hospital that we had him in,

00:24:47they were giving us little addresses of care homes

00:24:51written on scraps of envelopes.

00:24:56He wasn't even 12 hours old

00:24:58and they laid out his future for him.

00:25:01And I felt,

00:25:03right, okay.

00:25:05If that's all he's worth,

00:25:07he's worth a lot more to us.

00:25:08Feeling this responsibility I had

00:25:16to support Oliver and Georgie

00:25:17really focused my determination.

00:25:22The Brazilian Grand Prix now comes down

00:25:25to a straight fight

00:25:26between Senna and Damon Hill.

00:25:31He's in a position to try.

00:25:32Senna uses all his superior experience

00:25:50and to the delirious delight of his patrimon

00:25:53wins in Brazil.

00:25:55After the race,

00:26:02he sent his manager round

00:26:03and he said,

00:26:04Ayrton would like to see you in his motorhome.

00:26:08So I went round dutifully

00:26:09and sat down and listened to Ayrton

00:26:10giving me a little bit of fatherly advice.

00:26:12It's dangerous

00:26:13and you need to be more careful.

00:26:15I was quite pleased with myself, actually,

00:26:23that I'd upset him.

00:26:33I was watching the gap

00:26:34between me and Alain.

00:26:37I was at times quicker than him.

00:26:40I knew the car better than him.

00:26:42I knew the team better than him.

00:26:43And from time to time,

00:26:45I did a better job in the car.

00:26:47Then you start to believe in yourself.

00:26:50Damon Hill passes.

00:26:52Alain Prost makes no bones about it either.

00:26:56He was supposed to win the championship

00:26:57and I was often told

00:26:59to back off if I got close.

00:27:02Damon, he just checked his mirror

00:27:04to see exactly where Prost was behind him.

00:27:10And Prost takes the lead.

00:27:11No fight for Damon.

00:27:13Very neatly done.

00:27:16Almost looks like beautiful team drill.

00:27:22Exactly what were the orders for Damon?

00:27:25Damon was asked to give way to Alain,

00:27:28which is the basis of his contract.

00:27:30And really not too surprising

00:27:32when you consider that Damon

00:27:33is in his first year of Formula One.

00:27:35In France, you receive orders from the box

00:27:38not to pass Prost, right?

00:27:40What is the position here for Silverstone?

00:27:42He just asked the wrong question.

00:27:45I said I'd answer one question.

00:27:46I can't answer that one.

00:27:47This time, Damon can win.

00:27:51Yes.

00:27:51He is leading

00:28:03and if he's still there

00:28:04on lap 49,

00:28:05if his car's reliable,

00:28:06we can hope

00:28:07from the English point of view

00:28:09that he is going to win

00:28:10his first Grand Prix.

00:28:12It's a race

00:28:13that his father never did win.

00:28:15It would be wonderful

00:28:16for Damon to get

00:28:17his first Grand Prix victories

00:28:19here in front

00:28:19of his own crowd.

00:28:28This is Damon Hill's

00:28:29supreme day.

00:28:33And there's an engine

00:28:35blowing in...

00:28:36It's Damon Hill.

00:28:43What can I

00:28:45or anybody say?

00:28:47Damon Hill's

00:28:49Renault engine

00:28:50has expired.

00:28:53And the Englishman

00:28:54is not going to win.

00:28:57Alain Prost

00:28:58goes into the lead.

00:29:01And I can just imagine

00:29:03what's going through

00:29:04Damon Hill's mind now.

00:29:05What have I got to do

00:29:06to win a Grand Prix?

00:29:07My dad travelled on

00:29:33determination and enthusiasm,

00:29:34not being put off

00:29:37by disappointment.

00:29:46See, Daddy's good.

00:29:48Molly.

00:29:51The Formula One

00:29:53world champion

00:29:54of 1993,

00:29:55Alain Prost.

00:29:56finished third in the FIA

00:30:15World Drivers' Championship.

00:30:17Ladies and gentlemen,

00:30:17a warm welcome,

00:30:18if you please,

00:30:18for Damon Hill.

00:30:19He gave us an extremely

00:30:27hard time on occasions

00:30:28last year,

00:30:29and I'm glad to say

00:30:30he's now on the same side.

00:30:31Ladies and gentlemen,

00:30:32Ayrton Senna.

00:30:32The journalists were asking,

00:30:41you know,

00:30:41how are you going to

00:30:42cope with Ayrton?

00:30:45What a great introduction

00:30:46I had.

00:30:47Nigel Mansour,

00:30:49Alain Prost,

00:30:50and now Ayrton Senna.

00:30:52I wanted to find out

00:30:53how I could be rated

00:30:55against these benchmarks.

00:30:56Same team,

00:30:57same car.

00:30:58I'd know,

00:30:59I'd find out.

00:30:59Ayrton had signed up

00:31:03for what he thought

00:31:04was going to be

00:31:05the kind of experience

00:31:06that Alain Prost had had.

00:31:07We're a dominant car,

00:31:08and it wasn't going to plan.

00:31:11The International

00:31:12Motorsports Federation

00:31:13has banned

00:31:14some of the controversial

00:31:15computer devices

00:31:16which help drivers

00:31:18in Formula One

00:31:19motor racing.

00:31:20The ban is designed

00:31:20to stop the domination

00:31:21of the richest

00:31:22Formula One teams

00:31:23like Williams Renault,

00:31:25the world champions.

00:31:26Ayrton,

00:31:27how do you feel

00:31:28about driving

00:31:28with the new regulations?

00:31:30It just makes harder.

00:31:32I think with electronic

00:31:33suspension,

00:31:34the cars were more control.

00:31:36Traction control

00:31:37used to give a great help.

00:31:39You cannot afford

00:31:41to go on the throttle

00:31:42and let the traction control

00:31:43do the work for you.

00:31:44So it is more of a challenge

00:31:47than anything.

00:31:48When we first ran the car,

00:31:50it was difficult to drive.

00:31:51Ayrton stood by the edge

00:32:06and felt he heard it.

00:32:08and off goes Damon Hill.

00:32:10My goodness,

00:32:10this is not Williams' race.

00:32:18Ayrton stood by the edge

00:32:20of the track

00:32:20and felt he heard something

00:32:22that was suspicious

00:32:23from Michael's car.

00:32:24There was suspicions

00:32:31about whether or not

00:32:32Benetton still had

00:32:33traction control.

00:32:35And Michael Schumacher

00:32:37wins the Pacific

00:32:38draw brief.

00:32:40Out comes

00:32:41the fist of victory.

00:32:43He's dominated

00:32:43in Japan

00:32:45as he dominated

00:32:46in Brazil.

00:32:47You don't want to be

00:32:48racing against someone

00:32:49who you think

00:32:49is not playing

00:32:50a fair deck.

00:32:53But the attitude

00:32:54at Williams' was,

00:32:54we don't have any evidence,

00:32:56we don't know

00:32:56what they're doing,

00:32:56we're just going to have

00:32:57to beat them

00:32:58with what we've got.

00:32:59There was this

00:33:18pregnant feel

00:33:19about returning

00:33:21to Europe.

00:33:22The fact that

00:33:23Imler marked the start

00:33:24of the championship

00:33:25propane.

00:33:27If you were going

00:33:28to become world champion,

00:33:30you'd have to start winning.

00:33:35It was like the feeling

00:33:36that there was this

00:33:36thundercloud

00:33:37that had to release

00:33:38all its energy

00:33:39hanging over this race.

00:33:42The race starts

00:33:43in just over

00:33:44two hours' time now.

00:33:47The drivers have had

00:33:48their mandatory briefing

00:33:50and they talk

00:33:51through safety aspects

00:33:52on the track.

00:33:56Imler is,

00:33:57for us,

00:33:58I think,

00:33:58drivers,

00:33:59it's a very fast circuit,

00:34:00very demanding

00:34:01because the speeds

00:34:02we do around here

00:34:03are pretty high

00:34:04and it takes

00:34:07a lot of concentration

00:34:08to maintain

00:34:09most of the time

00:34:11control over the machine.

00:34:14It's also a circuit

00:34:15where the G-forces

00:34:18in our body

00:34:18and the neck

00:34:19are pretty high

00:34:19because we're doing

00:34:21this corner

00:34:21at 290 km an hour.

00:34:24It's a long corner

00:34:25and it's got neck

00:34:26goes, goes, goes, goes.

00:34:28I had gone to sit

00:34:29in the motorhome.

00:34:30I'm reading my book

00:34:31and the door opens

00:34:33and in comes Ayrton.

00:34:34he starts to get dressed

00:34:39and I'm thinking,

00:34:40do you want me to leave?

00:34:42And he's going,

00:34:42no, no, stay and talk.

00:34:44Tell me,

00:34:44you've got little boys.

00:34:46And I'm thinking,

00:34:47really?

00:34:48Ayrton's about

00:34:48to go out and race.

00:34:50Does he really want

00:34:51to hear about

00:34:51my little boys?

00:34:53But he really did.

00:34:53He was talking

00:34:55about how happy

00:34:57he was when

00:34:58he was with

00:34:59his nephews

00:34:59and that was

00:35:01his favourite thing

00:35:01in the world,

00:35:02playing with them

00:35:03in the sea.

00:35:07He's leaving

00:35:09and he stops

00:35:11and turns around

00:35:12and says,

00:35:12you know,

00:35:12don't worry about Damon,

00:35:13he's going to be fine.

00:35:15Williams are a great team

00:35:16and they are safe,

00:35:18they'll look after him,

00:35:19don't you worry about him.

00:35:21He literally walked out

00:35:23and went straight

00:35:24into the garage,

00:35:25got in his car

00:35:26and that was that.

00:35:33Ayrton is blind.

00:35:36We're on lap six now

00:35:37and seven is followed

00:35:39by Schumacher.

00:35:40I'd seen him go off

00:36:02and my first thought was

00:36:04he'd be annoyed

00:36:05because he hasn't

00:36:06finished the race.

00:36:15I can tell

00:36:17from the radio communications

00:36:18that it's pretty serious.

00:36:24The tone of voice

00:36:26is worrying.

00:36:27How serious?

00:36:33Serious, serious.

00:36:43What the hell?

00:36:46How could he go off

00:36:47on that corner?

00:36:47What the hell?

00:36:47How could he go off

00:36:51on that corner?

00:36:52I was getting

00:36:59limited information

00:37:00from Williams

00:37:01because they were

00:37:02concerned about

00:37:02finding out

00:37:03what had caused

00:37:04the accident

00:37:04and what they could

00:37:07advise me

00:37:07to not have

00:37:08the same problem.

00:37:11We'd had power

00:37:12steering on the car.

00:37:14They wanted

00:37:14to be reassured

00:37:16that there wasn't

00:37:17something that was

00:37:18amiss with that.

00:37:19He said to me

00:37:20on the grid

00:37:21turn it off

00:37:22we're going to run

00:37:23without it

00:37:23just to be sure.

00:37:27Right, that's

00:37:28going to be tough.

00:37:30I was upset.

00:37:38You know,

00:37:39just bring him in.

00:37:40Why are you keeping

00:37:41him up if you

00:37:42don't know?

00:37:49I was in the garage

00:38:06and I saw

00:38:07one of the team

00:38:09come in

00:38:10and make a beeline

00:38:11for Patrick.

00:38:14I saw her say to him

00:38:16that Ayrton had died.

00:38:19I don't think

00:38:32I've ever felt

00:38:33so powerless

00:38:34in my whole life.

00:38:37It was horrible

00:38:37waiting for him

00:38:38to just come in

00:38:40in one piece.

00:38:41We got in our little

00:39:10higher car.

00:39:12Damon curled up

00:39:13in a little board

00:39:13in the back seat.

00:39:16He kind of vaguely

00:39:17pointed me

00:39:18in the right direction

00:39:18for the airport.

00:39:21The plane was

00:39:22utterly silent

00:39:24and every now and then

00:39:26you'd hear somebody

00:39:27having a cry

00:39:28and it was

00:39:30utterly silent.

00:39:31everyone in the team

00:39:38was just drained

00:39:40of any ability

00:39:43to comprehend.

00:39:45the plane was just

00:39:46and it was

00:39:51like I said

00:39:52I felt like

00:39:53I was just

00:39:54like I was

00:39:55going to

00:39:56as long as I

00:39:58said

00:39:58I was like

00:39:59I was like

00:40:00I'm like

00:40:01him

00:40:02and

00:40:03I'm like

00:40:03man

00:40:04I'm like

00:40:05I'm like

00:40:06I'm going to

00:40:07end.

00:40:07I didn't want to go to any funerals.

00:40:27Jackie Stewart called me and asked me,

00:40:29are you going to go to the funeral?

00:40:31And I said, I don't want to go, Jackie.

00:40:33Um, I don't want to go.

00:40:37And he said, you'll regret it for the rest of your life

00:40:39if you don't go.

00:40:40You have to go.

00:40:41So for me, that is, like, my dad telling me,

00:40:44you're going to the funeral, you know?

00:40:46Jackie was really close with my dad.

00:40:49He was of that generation,

00:40:51and he'd seen enough of his mates lose their lives,

00:40:53and so he knew the right thing to do.

00:40:57And I got on the plane and went to Ayrton's funeral

00:41:00and helped carry the coffin.

00:41:07The last funeral I'd been to was my dad's.

00:41:24It was hell, emotionally.

00:41:28It just brought back all those feelings,

00:41:31fears that I'd experienced when I'd been to my dad's funeral.

00:41:34Most people in the team, this was something they'd never experienced before.

00:41:40I had to tell my mum that one of her close friends

00:41:43and my dad's teammate, Jim Clark, died when I was six years old.

00:41:51I knew that my dad had experienced losing his friends in this sport,

00:41:55and I knew it was a reality, it was a real possibility.

00:41:59Did the loss of Jimmy make you feel any more vulnerable?

00:42:01Jim Clark died when I was six years old.

00:42:08I knew that my dad had experienced losing his friends

00:42:11in this sport and I knew it was a reality.

00:42:14It was a real possibility.

00:42:16Did the loss of Jimmy make you feel any more vulnerable?

00:42:20Well, yes, quite.

00:42:21I mean, that was horrible.

00:42:23And of course it really brings it home

00:42:26with a terrible jolt and you just feel empty

00:42:30and it's, you know, it's a terrible time for any driver.

00:42:34And it's very difficult to describe loss

00:42:37and how it affects you,

00:42:38but you've just got to draw a blank across it.

00:42:45And what he went through with Jim Clark

00:42:47was absolutely horrific.

00:42:49He literally picked up the pieces

00:42:52and put them in the truck and telling the mechanics

00:42:54to get the car back to the UK

00:42:56and we'll work out what happened later.

00:43:00I did admire him enormously for his stoicism

00:43:09and his ability to cope with these really extreme situations.

00:43:17I wanted to be as responsible as him.

00:43:20If I could be of any help or provide any kind of comfort or solace,

00:43:37the only way I could do that would be to produce the results

00:43:40that they'd worked so hard for.

00:43:42alignment ended today.

00:43:43Close to the rest of your life in nämlich held back from Maria

00:43:43and we wouldn't be of thenegrag nadioedd's

00:43:45as a constituEs.

00:43:45Accept it from the count ofatares,

00:43:47as there was no way they would have to grow on such a one핑ed

00:43:48nerf over 30 seconds,

00:43:49andneath the relative intensifies from S Netfair Street.

00:43:50The only way they'd work here for new win

00:43:52is the sixth egg that could be as theуется.

00:43:53So even though they were Tapiola Huh I have a suspect there,

00:43:53there are a good influence with doing

00:43:55what there are always being mentioned.

00:43:55So even if I could be of P centre power,

00:43:58very lame,

00:44:00it's like,

00:44:02what is your project was so great a lot of roving.

00:44:03іль me as they would have to do it.

00:44:56Mapped onto the story of my dad and Jim Clark in that the first race they won after losing Jim Clark was the Spanish Grand Prix.

00:45:05I understood something about my dad in that process.

00:46:15I need support. I need all the good gear. I need to be able to spearhead this and I want you to believe that I can do it.

00:46:24But following Senna's death, Renault felt they needed a big name.

00:46:27What do they do? They get Nigel back.

00:46:32I felt undermined by that.

00:46:34OK. Good to go to work.

00:46:36Seemed to me to be a vote of no confidence.

00:46:41And I think it probably looked like that to Michael who I'm trying to race against.

00:46:45My best chance to show what I can do is going to be at the British Grand Prix.

00:46:55I've got pole position and he didn't like that.

00:47:02Damon Hill has pole position.

00:47:10I've got pole position and he didn't like that.

00:47:15I'm standing there.

00:47:21During the warm-up, the rules are you follow the pole guy to the grid.

00:47:27So he does this weird thing where he shoots off and then he overtakes me.

00:47:38And then we had a restart and he did it again.

00:47:46He's overtaken me twice now.

00:47:51What is going on?

00:47:55He played his games.

00:48:02But this time he got penalized.

00:48:05And I won the race.

00:48:11Felt great.

00:48:16And I was beginning to close the gap.

00:48:24The Princess of Wales presents Damon Hill.

00:48:36By the time we get to Japan, the championship was a real possibility.

00:48:42But they brought Nigel back again.

00:48:47Why are you guys not behind me?

00:48:50He can't win the championship.

00:48:53If he's going to take championship points off of me, why would you do it?

00:48:58I had a bit of a sulk on.

00:49:00And Patrick, he gave me a kind of talking to about my attitude.

00:49:03At that point, I just thought, do you know what? Screw all of you.

00:49:09If you cannot be grateful for what I have done and tried to do for your team,

00:49:16and you think I'm just a misery guts, I'm just going to race for myself.

00:49:20In a way, it released me.

00:49:24It released me from the feeling of obligation to them.

00:49:30It was like going back to racing bikes.

00:49:35It was just freedom.

00:49:37Freedom.

00:49:38I have to beat Michael.

00:49:58If I didn't, it was over.

00:50:00I have to beat Michael.

00:50:03If I didn't, it was over.

00:50:10It got quite dark because it was so wet and cloudy.

00:50:25He got in front of me.

00:50:26I can see the light on his gearbox,

00:50:31and I thought, if I lose sight of that, he's gone.

00:50:36So I'm literally driving, just looking at the red dot

00:50:38and thinking, just keep following that light.

00:50:49I ended up on the road ahead of him.

00:50:54I could see he was going to catch me at the last lap.

00:50:56This is it.

00:51:02In my head, I said,

00:51:03Ayrton, if you're up there, I could do with a hand.

00:51:09And something happened.

00:51:15My foot went to the floor.

00:51:20My arms are, like, moving in a way

00:51:22that I felt like it wasn't my hands.

00:51:24And then I'm going around turn two and through the S's,

00:51:31absolutely like a bat of the hell.

00:51:34I'm released from this conscious driving

00:51:37that I've been doing up until now.

00:51:39I'm absolutely committed to going as fast as possible.

00:51:44I just felt like I'd been visited by some sort of spirit.

00:51:57David Hill wins the Japanese Grand Prix

00:52:07to close the world championship gap between himself and Michael Schumacher

00:52:11to just one point.

00:52:28And this is a very important part.

00:52:36So it's a secret that I'm going to visit.

00:52:37So ahead.

00:52:39And...

00:52:39You're going to be dead.

00:52:40Come on.

00:52:41The Australian Grand Prix will decide

00:53:10the 1994 World Championship.

00:53:13Never has a World Championship been as close for ten years now.

00:53:21I was so close.

00:53:25Simple maths.

00:53:27Neither of us finish, then he's the World Champion.

00:53:31I come in front of him, I'm the World Champion.

00:53:35It was like we just literally got the cars off the plane from Suzuka

00:53:40and just restarted the race in Adelaide.

00:53:46Got a great start, the race was on.

00:53:49Gradually, he started to eek away a bit of a gap.

00:54:07No.

00:54:08He's cracked me.

00:54:10We got to this part of the track where you couldn't see the next guy.

00:54:15He'd gone around a 90-degree left.

00:54:18Michael disappears.

00:54:21I see him scrabbling to get back on the track.

00:54:25His car was damaged.

00:54:26Now's my chance.

00:54:27Now's my chance.

00:54:32Oh!

00:54:33Now goes Schumacher.

00:54:34The German is out of the Australian Grand Prix.

00:54:40And Damon Hill only has to keep going to be World Champion of 1994.

00:54:45But can he keep going?

00:54:48Schumacher should have known his car was damaged.

00:54:50Damon had the line.

00:54:51That was a desperate manoeuvre by Schumacher

00:54:54to stop Damon Hill to win the championship.

00:54:56Michael Schumacher waiting for Damon Hill to come round,

00:55:01but he must know by now that the Englishman is in trouble.

00:55:16And Hill shaking his head.

00:55:23Damon Hill retires from the Australian Grand Prix,

00:55:24and the 1994 World Championship has been won by Michael Schumacher.

00:55:29Damon Hill retires from the Australian Grand Prix,

00:55:34and the 1994 World Championship has been won by Michael Schumacher.

00:55:38The 1994 World Championship has been won by Michael Schumacher.

00:56:58See you in the mirror?

00:57:00Yeah.

00:57:05Yeah, it's a little warm-up.

00:57:07Frank and Patrick were very stoic,

00:57:09not in their nature to complain.

00:57:11The FIA should have looked at it.

00:57:17But they didn't.

00:57:22Well, the world's just saying all that.

00:57:24I was drained at the end of 94.

00:57:31I had to do a load of PR.

00:57:50It just ran from one season straight into the next,

00:57:52and I think I was very on edge, tired and drained.

00:58:03He hadn't had even time to process what happened to Ayrton.

00:58:08And he just bulldozed his way through.

00:58:19The Williams team, they have the same engine,

00:58:21and there is no difference between us.

00:58:25Maybe then the difference is in the driver.

00:58:28Can't keep it for the whole race, this performance,

00:58:30and some do for one lap.

00:58:39Damon, congratulations on the first pole of the year.

00:58:43How do you feel about the Benetton?

00:58:45The only thing I could say is that I've learned from last year

00:58:48never to underestimate the guy.

00:58:49Michael Schumacher had this imperious air about him.

00:59:03He was naturally very confident, very smart guy,

00:59:07and he never wanted to give anybody anything to go on.

00:59:11The moment he was inside that paddock,

00:59:13he had a war around himself.

00:59:18He wasn't going to show any sign of emotion about anything.

00:59:22He knew when somebody was weak.

00:59:25He treated his competitors with an air of disdain.

00:59:29In a way, you're beating them already by doing that,

00:59:32because that irritates any competitor.

00:59:35They're not regarded as worthy.

00:59:39Would you ever consider being in the same team as Damon Hill?

00:59:42I don't have a problem to be in the same team as Damon Hill,

00:59:46and I'm sure he would accept to be second driver then, so...

00:59:53And it got under my skin.

00:59:57But he also worked on Frank and Paci.

01:00:00They also regarded him as being the kind of driver

01:00:04they'd prefer to have rather than me.

01:00:07Damon, what is his advantage on Michael Schumacher?

01:00:12I'm not sure that he has an advantage.

01:00:14We'll have to see in the race.

01:00:16And you start to doubt yourself.

01:00:19Off goes Damon Hill, out of the race,

01:00:22and Michael Schumacher takes the lead.

01:00:25Being in from one is a very exposing experience.

01:00:33If you have an ounce of doubt,

01:00:36it's found the crack in your armour

01:00:39and it's straight into the central nervous system.

01:00:41Because you yourself might believe

01:00:45there might be part of that that's true.

01:00:46Very nice.

01:00:47Very nice.

01:00:48Very nice.

01:00:49Very nice.

01:00:50Very nice.

01:00:51Very nice.

01:00:52Very nice.

01:00:53Very nice.

01:00:54Very nice.

01:00:55This way.

01:00:56Very nice.

01:00:58Aged 11, I just couldn't stop thinking about this motorbike.

01:01:02And eventually, my dad bought me one for a birthday present.

01:01:09But he presented it to me in front of everyone.

01:01:12You want to be careful of all these people here.

01:01:16He wanted to do it at Brands Hatch, in the paddock,

01:01:19so that it could be filmed.

01:01:21It was on display.

01:01:23Nice to see you here.

01:01:24Thank you, Bruce.

01:01:26And you, Damon?

01:01:27You want to say something?

01:01:28Something.

01:01:29All right, something.

01:01:31He's not like you.

01:01:32He can't chat as much as you can.

01:01:33My dad was good at it.

01:01:36I wasn't cut out for it.

01:01:38I didn't want to be pushed into the limelight.

01:01:41Being pushed forward because you're the son of.

01:01:48If your dad is the star of the show, then who are you?

01:01:51He was really, really trying hard to make this thing happen.

01:01:59I think he felt there were lots of things trying to stop him from achieving that.

01:02:05He would try to make situations as difficult as they could possibly be,

01:02:10to kind of rev himself up.

01:02:12To get him into that laser focus that he would need to function at his highest level.

01:02:23On occasion, involved annoying me so much that I would bite back.

01:02:30We were in the motor home.

01:02:32He started having this argument with me, which is completely ridiculous.

01:02:35And I just thought, do you know what? I can't do this.

01:02:38And I picked up this massive big flower display and just lobbed it at Damon.

01:02:43And then went storming off.

01:02:48It was not nice being used as the wind-up.

01:02:54I was anxious.

01:02:56Too anxious to prove other people wrong.

01:03:00And I was angry.

01:03:03And anger is your worst enemy in racing.

01:03:09It will get you to do something stupid.

01:03:14And this is really hotting up to a tremendous battle between the top two and the championship.

01:03:20Well, this is what the championship should be about.

01:03:23Two drivers at the very top of their careers battling for the leader.

01:03:26I was catching Michael.

01:03:32And he would have known that.

01:03:42There was something in the way he opened the door in that corner.

01:03:51And I got suckered into a move.

01:03:53Oh, Hill's off! Hill's off!

01:03:56Oh, disaster! What has happened to?

01:03:58Damon Hill!

01:03:59Oh, he's hit!

01:04:00The two cars have collided.

01:04:01Damon has tried to pass Michael Schumacher.

01:04:04And the two cars collided.

01:04:10For the back page of The Sun, it says the words Pratt.

01:04:16And it's a quote from your team boss, the guy that employs you.

01:04:19That hurts.

01:04:21Damon Hill needs to get up to Michael Schumacher and get past him to improve his world championship chances.

01:04:25Damon Hill hits Schumacher and they both go off! They both go off! This is a repetition of Silverstone! Amazing!

01:04:33The second time now, I'm in front of Damon and he took away the possibility for me to extend the lead towards him.

01:04:38Well, fundamentally, that was a mistake from Damon Hill. I think he underestimated where Michael Schumacher was going to break.

01:04:44The disgusted, angry Michael Schumacher walked back with Damon Hill.

01:04:45The disgusted, angry Michael Schumacher walked back with Damon Hill.

01:04:47Damon Hill.

01:04:48Damon, your opinions are important.

01:04:49It's very important.

01:04:50I think that he has a good point of making a battle.

01:04:51The second time now, I'm in front of Damon and he took away the possibility for me to extend the lead towards him.

01:04:57Well, fundamentally, that was a mistake from Damon Hill. I think he underestimated where Michael Schumacher was going to break.

01:05:06The disgusted, angry Michael Schumacher walks back with Damon Hill.

01:05:15Damon, your opinion is important to us, because we only have Schumacher here.

01:05:21All right, I'll say something.

01:05:23Yeah, OK.

01:05:24I just want to know why Michael was going so slowly.

01:05:27Why does he suddenly go so slowly in the middle of the chicane like that?

01:05:30You know, he was going flat out every lap up until then.

01:05:33We're going flat out.

01:05:34And suddenly, he's going about 20km an hour slower.

01:05:38The peak of it came in Suzuka.

01:05:43I had a nightmare race.

01:05:46Off goes Damon Hill, bouncing across the gravel.

01:05:51And this time, he is out of the race.

01:05:54Well, words fail me.

01:05:56And I remember going to the changing room, and there was Frank and Patrick on one side of the room.

01:06:10I suddenly thought, I want to cry.

01:06:13It's gone so bad, I wouldn't blame them if they sat me on the spot.

01:06:30I did go into the depression.

01:06:31It was just that kind of cycle of confusion.

01:06:43Why is this happening to me?

01:06:46Why did you run off two times at the same corner?

01:06:50Aren't you frustrated?

01:06:51Yes.

01:06:52Yes.

01:06:52Yes, thank you.

01:06:53Demo.

01:06:57So, it's really funny to see you laughing.

01:06:59Well, you don't laugh, you cry.

01:07:02So, it's better to laugh.

01:07:04Demo.

01:07:05Are there sometimes moments in your life when you want to stop racing?

01:07:08Well, there have been a few this year.

01:07:15Okay.

01:07:31Damon was just 21 when I met him.

01:07:37You know, it's not that long ago that his father had died, and...

01:07:43There was something about his seriousness, and the fact that he was a survivor of this awful

01:07:49thing, and he was still standing.

01:07:54I thought, are we okay with him?

01:07:57You know, are we absolutely okay with him?

01:08:00Because I think he understood something about life that most of the people around me at the

01:08:05time had no understanding of.

01:08:13I had a lovely childhood, and when my dad died, it all went horribly to pieces.

01:08:24And the rest of my time has been spent trying to put it back together again.

01:08:39Was I a racing driver just simply because my dad was one?

01:08:43I felt I had to go through all of this pain to put right everything that went wrong.

01:08:47But the truth is not that simple.

01:08:53You can't go back and fix things.

01:08:56That's the bottom line.

01:09:04You can make facsimiles of what was in the past, but you can't go back and fix things.

01:09:09Before I can start being me.

01:09:16Before I can be the person that is not just copying his dad.

01:09:21Not just a facsimile, not just an echo.

01:09:24I needed to let go of the past.

01:09:27Well, there you go, dad.

01:09:43I'm a bit nervous.

01:09:44I've got the knot in my stomach.

01:09:48It would be a big disappointment for you if he didn't win.

01:09:52No.

01:09:53As long as he's back safely, I don't mind.

01:09:56But deep down, you want him to be the fastest runner here, don't you?

01:09:59No, I don't want him to be a competitive person at all.

01:10:02I want him to enjoy his life.

01:10:06You don't think he can enjoy his life by winning?

01:10:08I don't want him to always feel that just because he hasn't been the best at something that he's failed.

01:10:12I think that's a terrible thing to have.

01:10:14I think he's going to be a great man.

01:10:15I don't want him to be a good man.

01:10:16I don't want him to be a good man.

01:10:18I think he's the best one.

01:10:19I think he's the best one.

01:10:21I don't want him to be a good man.

01:10:22I think he's the best one.

01:10:24Georgie is a constant.

01:10:37She's not someone who values the things that a lot of people think are important.

01:10:42important she could take it or leave it the world championship but she was very aware of how much it

01:10:52meant to me the 1996 formula one world championship grand prix season will be starting here at

01:11:07Melbourne I met my wife really that was that that's one thing she came out and she's obviously a good

01:11:23influence on me how do you win a championship you've got to win the first race I just became

01:11:32practical don't get involved in any issues just focus on your job new track new cars new engines

01:11:45major driver changes Michael Schumacher who has gone to Ferrari Damon Hills new teammate Jack

01:11:54Villeneuve in pole position Jack got pole for his first ever Formula One race which is an amazing

01:12:00achievement but I was not prepared to let him have that Damon Hill is all over the back of

01:12:07Villeneuve there's obviously a lot of broad competition between these two the clubs are

01:12:12off Michael had gone to Ferrari and they weren't quite ready yet he wasn't that competitive so it

01:12:17is between me and Jack Damon Hill takes the lead ahead of a chef fielder victory in Australia for Damon Hill and he's equaled his great father 14 Grand Prix wins for son and father

01:12:36I won the first three races in the season I can't really describe it it's been a long time since I've

01:12:43been pleading the championship obviously aren't I just feels top of the world at the moment I mean it's it's great

01:12:48the next race was the Monaco Grand Prix

01:13:09Damon what does Monaco mean to you especially concerning the success of your father here

01:13:20it's a great record that he had he won five times which was beaten by Ayrton he won six times I'd like

01:13:27to win here and then it would be Hill six and Sena six but I think I'd like to win just for myself

01:13:33Lacey is 28 seconds behind Damon Hill Hill there continues to have this race totally under control

01:13:40he's confident he's really achieved new levels this year

01:13:54and spoke out of the back of the Williams

01:14:04Damon Hill out of the Monaco Grand Prix he was not destined to win this race

01:14:14I knew that he's never going to be faint sailing from beginning to end

01:14:29I always knew that there was a middle bit of the season where your nerves are tested

01:14:40and your confidence could be shaken especially if you don't expect it Damon Hill's future in Grand

01:14:49Prix motor racing has been thrown into doubt after being dropped by his Williams Renault team for next

01:14:54season Hill who leads this season's driver's championship had been negotiating a new contract

01:14:59with the team Frank for me up and told me listen I'm just here to tell you that we've got to do what's

01:15:05right for the team and that we've got a German driver coming and you don't have a drive with us for next year

01:15:11I'd like to give you the opportunity here today to speak to me ask any questions you have so that

01:15:23over the weekend I can concentrate on the job of winning the race if you want to fly away then I'm ready for

01:15:28in a correct world you'd be judged on your performances and that would be rewarding with

01:15:50another opportunity to show what you can do this deal was done at the end of 95 and it was linked

01:15:56to the long-term plan for Frank to get BMW engines German driver BMW engines and you're just a horn in

01:16:05that game

01:16:06they've got away and now I'm fired up because I've been sacked

01:16:16Damon Hill has impressed mightily this must have been the most difficult weekend of his career

01:16:24I get a bit of a gap when I suddenly think to myself okay Damon calm down you're driving like a

01:16:38maniac just knock it back and not and I come up to this chicane all the focus went

01:16:44you can see from the way he is holding his head that he's absolutely distraught

01:17:11it was my mistake I got caught out

01:17:21but I thought I'm not done yet

01:17:25last race got one more chance

01:17:40anything can happen Damon can make a mistake the car can break down and that can happen to me as well

01:17:50so until the last lap of the next race we'll fight for it

01:18:00stepping into the car even though I haven't had much sleep as I could not sleep I just thought I've done

01:18:07everything I possibly can do I've given a hundred percent you know I honestly had

01:18:16everything I can do I didn't care about the doubts of others

01:18:35I just thought I want to win

01:18:41what a superb start there from Damon Hill his relief will be absolutely enormous because we're going to be able to build it

01:18:45And the Japanese World Prix is gone!

01:18:52And a brilliant start by Damon Hill and Neil Ebenbrew cost!

01:19:06What a superb start there from Damon Hill.

01:19:08His relief will be absolutely enormous,

01:19:10because not only has he got away first,

01:19:12he will know that Phil Ebenbrew is well back in his mirrors.

01:19:16And there is actually Ebenbrew,

01:19:18and he's down in sixth position,

01:19:20so he really has got it all to know.

01:19:25Damon has got to play very cool indeed,

01:19:28as Gerhard Berger comes right up alongside him

01:19:31and goes over the curve at the chicane.

01:19:33Damon Hill rebuffed him,

01:19:35but at the same time,

01:19:36kept the Williams clear of the Benetton,

01:19:38and look at the gap, he's pulled out.

01:19:40Damon has really got a great opportunity now.

01:19:46He's looking very, very good indeed.

01:19:49Oh, watch it, Jonathan.

01:19:50We've all said that.

01:19:51Remember, at Monza,

01:19:53Damon Hill was in the lead.

01:19:56Come on, Leon, on lap six,

01:19:58he hit that tar barrier.

01:19:59Well, there are no tar barriers to hit here.

01:20:01And here is Damon Hill, race leader.

01:20:17Damon Hill is going to rejoin.

01:20:19Is he just in front of the Ferrari?

01:20:21Yes, he is!

01:20:26Wow!

01:20:27That is in full place, Jack Villeneuve.

01:20:29Now, things are really, really getting hot in Japan.

01:20:35Damon needs to keep pushing on pretty hard,

01:20:37because he will know that he can never underestimate

01:20:40that Canadian teammate of his, Jack Villeneuve.

01:20:42Jack Villeneuve.

01:20:47And that is over!

01:20:48He's still there!

01:20:50The wheel goes past him.

01:20:51It goes over!

01:20:52Into the crowd!

01:20:53Oh, my goodness!

01:20:54I do hope that nobody was hurt.

01:21:00Jack is out.

01:21:01Jack is out of the race.

01:21:03Going round, they said, Jack's out.

01:21:12And they said, well done, you're world champion.

01:21:14He's a champion.

01:21:33Les Jones, who's one of Damon Hill's mechanics,

01:21:35that they passed on the good news to their driver.

01:21:38But Damon has not responded at all.

01:21:40He's concentrating very hard on the job in hand.

01:21:43Yeah, that's called keeping your mind

01:21:45on what is really happening.

01:21:50This is the last flight, Damon.

01:22:04It's a long road.

01:22:07And you can say it started when my dad died.

01:22:13The team's in their blue and white caps matching the helmet of Damon Hill,

01:22:29which matches the helmet of his great father, Graham Hill.

01:22:32He is almost home.

01:22:33This is something that many people didn't think could possibly happen today.

01:22:35They thought Damon would drive a cautious race.

01:22:36But he fought.

01:22:37He fought from second on the grid.

01:22:38He passed Jack Mielnerve.

01:22:39He took the lead.

01:22:40He stayed there.

01:22:41And David Hill exits the chicane.

01:22:42And wins the Japanese Grand Prix.

01:22:45And I've got to stop because I'm going to love it, my friend.

01:22:51He stayed there.

01:23:01And David Hill exits the chicane.

01:23:06And wins the Japanese Grand Prix.

01:23:11And I've got to stop, because I've got a lump in my throat.

01:23:21I've just literally completed the mission.

01:23:51And suddenly, the impact hits me.

01:24:07And suddenly the impact hits me, hits me what I've done, what I've been able to drag

01:24:22out of myself, aware of the journey that you've been on, and also how much I miss my dad.

01:24:37And how much he would have liked to have known about his son, but in some other curious

01:24:49way you kind of feel like he doesn't know.

01:24:52Well done to Damon Hill, the UL Champion.

01:25:07I love you, I love you.

01:25:22Is that good?

01:25:26I love you, I love you.

01:25:41I love you, I love you.

01:25:56I love you, I love you.

01:26:11I love you, I love you.

01:26:26I love you, I love you.

01:26:41I love you, I love you.

01:26:56How much I live is a god?

01:26:58I love you, I love you.

01:26:59I love you, I love you, I love you.

01:27:04I love you.

01:27:05I love you, I love you.

01:27:06I love you.

01:27:08You have some friends with me, good.

01:27:10I love you, my dear.

01:27:13I love you.

01:27:15I love you, and I love you.
