That would be the Hill family home 32 Parkside Mill Hill London, I suppose. I wish the council would re name the road "Graham Hill". Graham was my boyhood F1 hero. Fiercely competitive on track, a party animal off duty, yet an English gentleman at other times. I seem to remember a documentary. Betty Hill recalled a noisy party at the the Hill's home, two constables arrived following complaints. In short order the Police officers were handed glasses of beer by Graham and they stayed some time.

This video is one of the reasons I love F1, the history , the tragedy and though it all we race as one.

Frankly, it does not get much better than this: two fantastic drivers -- and two of my all-time favorite motorsports legends -- chatting about F1 history and then taking those Ferraris out for a spin on the track for good measure (as good 'ol Martin would say). Top notch video! Thank you!!

I saw Martin there twice in 1983 when he was giving some young Brazilian guy called Senna a hard time in F3.

I had no idea Von Tripps started that track in Kerpen.

Every time I see a "classic" race car, I can't stop thinking about the courage and the talent of those drivers! I had the opportunity to admire a lot of F1 and sportcars at Ferrari Museum and when you look at them, you are first shocked by their beauty and then you realize how much these cars were dangerous! Small, lightweight, super powered and with no protection at all!

I began attending Formula One races in 1964 so I never saw one of these cars race but I did see ones not much more sophisticated run and these fellows weren't kidding when they said those drivers had guts! I actually saw Graham Hill race twice...his son looks a lot like his dad.

von Trips’s death surely must rank as one of if not THE most tragic of F1 fatalities in history. To lose both his life and the F1 World Championship at the same time and with the spectators who died with him was truly awful 😢

@russellparratt9859

Жыл бұрын

Phil Hill was a deserving winner of the championship that year. He could have sown it up during the French GP, but had a spin when leading well, and lost his position. That win would have put him well ahead of von Trips in points. Regarding Monza, it was von Trips who made the fatal error of cutting off Jim Clark, causing the 2 cars to collide. It was his 3rd and final big crash at Monza.

Hill's helmet beats everything! And NO music please!

Saw this in the broadcast, this video was something else! Thank you Sky Sports F1 for providing these amazing pieces of content, they really make my race weekends

How iconic is that. Ferrari there is no other greater sports car. Many manufacturers make beautiful high performance sports cars, Ferrari is all of that and moving works of art.

This film is priceless, such beautiful shots and sounds of this icon (minus the horrible music) when before this I had pictures and old footage with bad sound. I now love this car even more!

Damon god bless you..... Your dad was amazing and so are you..

Very nicely put together film and presentation. I am sure I read recently in Gino Rancati's book about Ferrari that it wasn't just Von Trips connecting with Clark but his that his brakes had been leaking too ?

Beautiful. This and the contemporary Lotus are the two cars I remember from my childhood.

I could watch these two do this all day.

Awesome video 👍👍👍 looks like Graham Hill driving a Sharknose 😉 2 really sympathic drivers.

Fun fact . Had Taffy not perished in that crash , he was booked for a flight to America after the race that crashed over Scotland . Like Pedro Rodrigues said when asked about the dangers of racing , "when God decides it is your time , it doesn't matter where you are ". There was no way VonTripps would see another day .

What a special experience

You can see how the air-intake at the front helps the car hug the corners. aerodynamics there and they tested to see which form of it works best. That is the foundation of modern F1!

I'd love to see a retro-technical video, where someone goes in depth, showing us all the technical details of old racing cars like these... Or, even some closer shots of these cars, comparing the different engines or any other of the small differences between them. Before viewing this video I knew nothing about the old shark-nose Ferrari cars (I'm in my mid 20's, for context), but now I'd like to learn more about them. They look so beautiful...

The Limit, a book by Michael Cannell, covers this period of motor racing in great detail, and is a very enjoyable read. It sounds like Martin Brundle and Damon Hill had just been reading the same book. Incidently, in 1961, Phil Hill had the French GP almost won, and stupidly spun, losing his large lead. That win would have secured the championship, rather than having it come down to a couple of points difference at Monza.

By the way, Damon, that “dress” you were put in as a baby, it’s call a christening gown.

Von Trips didn't beleave that Jim Clark was so fast with his poor Climax and that he was just behind him, ready to overtake him before Parabolica curve. he was slipstreaming the Ferrari. Jimmy was very lucky this day.

Hill finally driving a Ferrari 😍 Back in 1994 when Damon was battling Micheal, as a Ferrari fan I had chosen him as my favorite for the world title, being “the Cavallino” out of the game as usual. I was very happy for him in 1996. His (and his dad’s) helmet has always been one of my favorire if not my preferred one along Senna’s.

Two top men in top cars amazing.
