Filled with insights into Hill's personal history, his epic battles with Schumacher and Villeneuve, his dismissal by Williams and surprise decision to join TWR Arrows for 1997, culminating in a moving description of his crowning glory at the Japanese GP.
HIll's history is one of those success histories that keeps on marvelling us. The guy would have virtually no chance against Ayrton Senna in Williams-Renault, back in 1994. But Senna died, and Hill, a driver who had never achieved absolutely nothing in the lesser formulas, suddenly became William's Number One.
And such a Number One he became. Learning fast, he almost secured te World Tittle already in 1994, had not MIchael Schumacher played dirty in the Australian Grand Prix. (do you need any other proof that the machine is much more important than the driver in modern Formula One? Hill was in his second season, had never showed any signs of above-average skill, and was almost the World Champion - courtesy of Williams-Renault, not his skills)
In the following years, Hill became the main contender against Germany's robot Michael Schumacher, the most victorious driver ever in F-1. And won his Championship in 1996.
