MOTORSPORT GREATS
GRAHAM HILL
Copse Corner has claimed many potential grand prix winners over the years. Damon Hill crashed there when a wheel nut problem spun him off in 1996, echoing his father Graham, who ditched his BRM there while leading in the closing stages in 1960. Unlike Damon, who triumphed at Silverstone in 1994, Graham never did win the British Grand Prix – but he did win just about everything else, including the Monaco GP five times, the F1 title twice, the Indianapolis 500 and the Le Mans 24 Hours. Somehow, the ebullient Londoner is still often under-rated, despite his unique status as the only driver to have claimed motorsport’s unofficial triple crown.
