GRAHAM HILL: DRIVEN

[Michaelingolfhansen]

What a cool guy!

[jockejocke1]

Damon's manner and speech is so much like his dads.

[nathanatkins15t]

haha he never could have guessed then who would be 1996 champion!

[spercepolnes21]

Met him a couple of times during the Tasman series - he could be really funny...

[johnyhob1]

Does anyone know where the 1st scene footage is from? the footage of him facing the camera I am trying to find which race if any or promotional material? Please help if possible...

[whitbyjet65]

An absolute legend. An absolute bloody legend!!!!

[1IdeaAhead]

The mustache says it all, awesome!

[thehitchrules]

Graham and Ayrton, the Kings of Monaco .

[RonaldoPassos1988]

Graham Hill - The Gentleman

[mikewhite1006]

Anyone know what the music in the background is?

[kakha1974]

Great Family.

[TheGreatDimebag]

What a cool guy!

[thegreatbasher]

Interviewer- "Are there any things that you do which are terribly personal that we perhaps don't know about?" 

Hill- "Wanking you mean or something like that...giggles..."

What a legend. That was so funny!

Great man and a trully great driver.

[MGMidgetRacer]

Watched this again on Sunday evening. An excellent production. Congratulations to all involved.

[avril2]

This how chaps ought to be.

Pay attention, you at the back!

[KillerDreck89]

I can't believe it. NO dislikes. :D

[McLarenMercedes]

Although Graham Hill wasn't on Jim Clark's level he compensated that with his sheer determination and fighting spirit. Had he not had his serious crash in 1969 he might have had a better final part of his career.

I guess he didn't want Damon to become a racecar driver since he couldn't have known of the wast improvements of safety the sport went through in the 80's and particularly the 90's.

[coach777777]

Good clean living...

[queenlover8]

like wanking you mean? what an absolute dude! do you think any of those personality dogers that race in F1 today are anywhere near this cool... christ I wish I'd been around to watch Hill, Moss, Stewart etc etc etc sigh no what we get are very fast insurance sales men, I don't I've seen more of a middle man that Lewis Hamilton... that guy could bore a glass eye to sleep

[Finne72]

A witty gentleman he was... and one of the greatest F1-drivers ever. You will never ever be forgotten!

[qwertyas61]

super

[375GTB]

It's not a bloody BASEBALL helmet, mate.... it was an early open face Bell type helmet. Our Dan Gurney wore the first full coverage Bell helmet , 1967, and the last open faced helmet was seen during the 1973 GP season... i have one of the forst DOT approved Bell Stars, from 1974. It weighs a TON and could break ones NECK!

I had my 'puddin'basin' era, 1967-1972, and then a brand new Buco patrol officers helmet.... given to me by such an officer.

So i know what I'm, about

J.C.

[ATDOINFERNO]

That's why, in my opinion, he's the #1, and Senna is #2. And I'm brazilian.

Notice, however, that I feel that Senna had the potential to be the #1, as he won (once?) more at Monte Carlo, plus 1 more World Championship.

[RafaeINadal]

I cant believe the used to race in a baseball helmet

[ForeverAyrtonSenna]

Does anyone know a song that is perhaps, similar, to the music in this video?

[YukiNekoPrincess]

What a character this man was, and also one of the greatest Grand Prix drivers, of course. I love the part where he speaks about Damon. I'm saddened at the part where the interviewer asks about wanting to live to a 100 years, because his death was one of the most ironic in F1.

[Markstewartprods]

I'm afraid at present the film is not available on DVD!

[Merstheman]

Can I purchase this anywhere?

[pincbit]

magic pur magic

[jav888]

which recording of guantanmera is played at the end?

[Markstewartprods]

The recording of Guantanmera in the film was performed and recorded privately and especially for the film itself and therefore not publicly available...

I hope that sufficiently answers your question...

[xtc79]

...wanking... LoL that sure was a great answer ;)

[Haleyboy007]

Great video.

Damon Hill 1996 Champion!

[mrdiscus66]

Kind of reminds me of Dick Dastardly in Whacky Races. lol.

[dextersno1fan]

Yeah Dek, thats a very accurate observation!

[MeganMullallyBAFL]

the ultimate racing driver of all time without any rival and will always remain unrivalled as triple crown will never be matched.

Martin

[keexada]

Never say never ;)

There are 2 drivers that can still achieve that, Jacques Villeneuve (F1 champion & winner at Indy500, he was 2nd last year in Le Mans, but he is not competing this year) and Juan Pablo Montoya (winner of Indy500 & Monaco GP...)

I hope they will not win the Le Mans so Graham would stay the only one in history to achieve triple crown.... ;)

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

"There are 2 drivers that can still achieve that . . ."

Unless Mario comes out of retirement again. Hey, Newman won his class at the Daytona 24 when he was 70. Never say never. : )

[Suprahampton]

@IsaacBickerstaffEsq Jaques Villenerve (sp) could gain the triple crown, since he raced at Le Mans this year I think for Peugeot. If his car won next year he'd hold the triple crown also. Harder to achieve now than it was back then

[tomkidd]

Does anyone know what the spanish song is at the end of the documentary?

[jav888]

it is a special recording of the cuban song guantanmera - the recording is not public

[stillavril]

What a rascal.

[ineendubh]

Graham Hill. A True Legend.

[lostboy8814]

What a man,what a driver,what a gent,they just don't make 'em like this anymore.
