Damon Hill's 1996 title-winning season remembered

2026 marks the 30th anniversary of Damon Hill’s 1996 World Championship victory. In a special two-part feature on Formula1.com, senior editor Greg Stuart interviews Hill about his journey to the title, including the challenges of overcoming critics and facing setbacks while pursuing his goal. While some may attribute his success to his family legacy as the son of two-time champion Graham Hill, the feature explores the personal narrative behind his rise. Hill reflects on his time with the dominant Williams FW18 team and the determination required to cement his own place in Formula 1 history.
