Damon Graham Devereux Hill (born 17th September, 1960 in Hampstead, England) is a British former racing driver best known for his appearances in Formula One. He is the son of fellow Formula One driver Graham Hill.
Early Career
Hill, like many young drivers of his time, took part in the International Formula 3000 series, most notably winning the Pau Grand Prix en route to his championship-winning season in 1990.
Formula One
1998-1999: Mastercard Lola
By 1998, Hill was racing for the Mastercard Lola team - which was one of the weakest packages on the grid - alongside Brazilian driver Tarso Marques. Hill managed two sensational drives in the Spanish and French Grands Prix - even taking an unexpected point in the latter. This would be the only point that the small British outfit would score in their short history.
Hill continued into a second season with Lola but retired from the sport shortly after the Canadian Grand Prix, citing mental fatigue.
