Damon Hill, c1993-c1996. As the son of one of the legends of motor racing, Damon Hill had much to live up to when he decided to pursue a career in the sport. Having gained his first experience of Formula 1 with a few races with Brabham whilst working as a test driver with Williams in 1992, he graduated to the Williams racing team proper in 1993. He was immediately successful, helped by an excellent car, and achieved his first win in Hungary, immediately following it up with two more, at Spa and Monza. After coming close in 1994, he finally emulated his father Graham by becoming World Champion in 1996, winning six of the first nine Grands Prix of the season. His performances in the second half of the season were perceived as less impressive and he was controversially dropped from the team. The rest of his career was spent with less competitive cars, although he did secure the Jordan team's first Grand Prix victory in Belgium in 1998. After a miserable 1999 season, however, he decided to retire.
