Damon Hill: Carrying His Father's Legacy...

High Performance
About this episode

Damon Hill is a former Formula 1 World Champion and one of the most thoughtful voices in motorsport. The son of legendary racer Graham Hill, Damon carved out his own legacy in a sport shaped by speed, risk, and legacy. In this episode, he opens up with a rare mix of honesty and introspection, sharing stories that go far beyond the racetrack.


The conversation dives into Damon’s memories of Ayrton Senna, not just as a rival, but as a human being. He reflects on Senna’s deep sense of duty to Brazil, his kindness off the track, and the emotional shockwave that followed his tragic accident. It’s a raw, moving look at what it meant to lose someone who carried so much weight for an entire nation.


Damon also gets personal about the influence of his father, Graham Hill. He talks about growing up in the shadow of greatness, navigating grief, and eventually finding his own path in the same high-stakes world. 


This episode offers a heartfelt exploration of the human side of racing, with Damon sharing honest lessons on family, legacy, and overcoming adversity that will resonate with fans and newcomers alike.


Damon Hill's documentary, "Hill" is coming to Sky Documentaries in July.
