Formula One
Hill began racing cars in the mid to late 1940s and eventually moved to the United Kingdom as a trainee driver for Jaguar in 1949. A few years later, Hill got on the books of Scuderia Ferrari - who gave him his first Formula One chances in the 1956 Monaco and Belgian Grands Prix. Hill retired from both events but he remained a promising prospect for Ferrari who loaned him out the following year to the North American Racing Team for the season ending United States Grand Prix.
In 1958, Hill - still under contract with Ferrari - spent the vast majority of the season at Team Lotus barring the finale in the United States where he returned to Ferrari.
