Product Description
Product Description
A behind-the-scenes look into Hill's personal history, epic battles with Michael Schumacher, struggles within the Williams team, and his new-found confidence. The book includes a race-by-race analysis of the 1996 World Championship season in which Hill won four of the first five races. Hill lost the 1994 world title by a single point and he started the 1995 season with high hopes. However, that season he was crushed by Schumacher's brilliance amd tensions within his own team. Insights from British drivers who have known Hill since his early single-seater days are included along with the thoughts of competing team bosses who have seen him mature and change. The family background as son of the double World Champion Graham Hill is also covered.

A lucky one.....
16 July 2003
Format:Paperback
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.
This book gives a lesson: you can learn with the passing of time, it's never late to believe you can be succesfull in something you desire a lot (ok, I admit that being the son of Graham Hill would help you a lot...)
