News about Damon Hill

A 21-year-old motorcyclist died after crashing while riding the legendary Hockenheimring track in Germany. Following the crash, the yet-to-be-named pilot sustained fatal injuries, and the 271-lap run was called off immediately. According to the German media, a rescue helicopter was immediately dispatched, as well as police and ambulance services, but the cause of the accident is still unknown. An investigation into what happened will now be underway, with the The Mannheim traffic service attempting to reconstruct the accident with a specialist to determine the cause. The race was part of the German Endurance Cup, but all remaining races on Saturday were called off due to the incident.

According to one former F1 celebrity, Max Verstappen's continuing F1 dominance in the first two races of the season may be causing a bit of worry. In the first two rounds of the season, the reigning champion cruised to victory, winning first places in both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia to show that there is no stopping him as he seeks to keep his title. Red Bull have had consecutive one-two finishes in the first two years of 2024, and, despite early dominance, former F1 champion Damon Hill believes it presents a difficult challenge to the team. Hill is concerned that having such commanding form over Ferrari and McLaren's likes could cause Red Bull to fail to make progress, particularly because they did not have to be concerned with those minor gains. The team looks fantastic and has a one-two to start your season and the Constructors' Championship,' he told F1 Nation.

Hamilton shocked the world by announcing that he would leave Mercedes for Ferrari in 2025 after 12 years with the team where he won six of his seven world titles. Hamilton's Mercedes have failed to maintain speed with Red Bull in 2021, with the Brit not winning a race in over two years. He is hoping to win an elusive eighth championship with the Italian manufacturer.

Damon Hill has pleaded with Michael Schumacher's son to 'forget' his father's name a decade after the tragic skiing crash that changed his family's lives forever. Schumacher Snr suffered serious head injury while skiing in Meribel with his son, a decade ago, and the Formula One legend hasn't been seen publicly since the incident. After the crash, the seven-time world champion was put into an artificial coma and underwent many surgeries, and his family has vigorously denied reports about his illness ever since.

Michael Schumacher's one-time rival Damon Hill has referred to the German's plight as a "terrible tragedy" and a reminder of 'treasure every day.' It will be ten years since Schumacher's skiing crash in the French Alps, where he cracked his head on a rock and sustained a near-fatal brain injury. Schumacher, now 54, has been kept out of public view ever since, with only a handful of visitors allowed inside the family's home near Lake Geneva, Switzerland, where he is receiving round-the-clock medical care.

According to legendary motorsport writer Roger Benoit, Michael Schumacher should be stripped from his 1994 Formula One crown. The German won seven world titles in a remarkable career, winning five consecutive titles between 2000 and 2004. However, Benoit believes that Damon Hill should have been crowned the 1994 champion after Schumacher surprisingly pushed him to the championship by a point in Adelaide's final race of the season.

Toto Wolff has been 'ungracious' for dismissing Max Verstappen's ten straight victories as 'completely irrelevant,' according to Damon Hill. Wolff, the Mercedes team's CEO, made the remarks within minutes of the Dutchman's winning the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday, adding that it was a statistic 'for Wikipedia,' and nobody reads it anyway.' Despite this being the first time anyone has not scored a flawless 10 since the Formula One world championship came to being 73 years ago.

Damon Hill, the 1994 champion of Silverstone, knows a thing or two about winning at the British Grand Prix. With crowds expected to reach 480,000 people over the weekend, there are many people descended on the Northamptonshire circuit, both old and new. There are a slew of memorable memories for Hill, ranging from winning the race ahead of Michael Schumacher to a Lewis Hamilton masterclass in 2008. He has served up his top five for Mail Sport…

Damon Hill, the current Formula One world champion, has told Max Verstappen that if he's not enjoying himself, he might walk away from the sport. The Dutchman had previously stated that he could stop the sport completely due to the authorities' decision to raise the number of sprint races in the Formula One calendar.

Lewis Hamilton has sluggishly told two former world champions that he will sign a new contract with Mercedes. The British actor was responding to Jenson Button and Damon Hill, who cast doubt on whether Hamilton would continue fighting if he were driving a substandard vehicle. The 37-year-old asked if he was going into the season thinking of it as his last hurrah as the weekend began on Sunday. 'Not all of it,' he said. "It is ultimately people making uprumors that are untru, and it is never helpful, and you would have guessed that by now, they would all know me."

For the first time next month, the remains of a lifesaving piece of equipment will be on display in Madrid. Fans of one of sports' most exciting times in history, when the protective device was launched three years ago. Visitors to the new official exhibit, which will open in the Spanish capital in March before heading around the world, will be able to view the remarkable piece of memorabilia, which is now almost unrecognizable after being called into action in Bahrain.

With over 440,000 fans descending on Austin, Texas, last weekend's United States Grand Prix was the most attended Formula One race of the season. With 420,000 spectators at Albert Park, the number exceeded the previous record at the Australian Grand Prix, which also broke its own attendance record this year. The attendance of COTA in the United States was a glimpse into what may be even bigger gains for the sport in the United States. There are more chances for American F1 fans to attend races than ever this year, with two races stateside and a third on the calendar next year.

Nelson Piquet, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Damon Senna, Michael Schumacher, Mika Hakkinen, and Sebastian Vettel are among the many names on the roll call. At Suzuka, the three champions are unbeaten. With victory and the fastest lap on tomorrow, Max Verstappen (inset) knows he will ink his name on the page. Not that he wishes to believe it. Verstappen has been dour since switching Singapore for Japan. In the midst of rumors of a cost-cap violation, persistent questions about Red Bull's accounts have irked him. When being quizzed on them this week, the curt reply was, 'It's not my company.'

After another bad year for McLaren and choices for a race seat in 2023 dwindling, Australian Daniel Ricciardo has confirmed that he has no idea if he will be racing next year and that there is the very real possibility that he will be sitting on the sidelines, but either way, he is not overly concerned about it.

Following an underwhelming season with the team that has seen him clinch just four top ten finishes, the 33-year-old will leave McLaren at the end of the season. 'Danny has been such a wonderful character for our sport, with effervescent and always smiling, but Sky F1 has discovered something wrong,' Hill said. 'Not only in his speed at McLaren, but also in his approach to getting himself into a competitive car.' Something fell through the cracks here, and we'll see him come up smelling of roses and then back at the front.'
