This was one of my earliest F1 memories, I got up early in the morning to watch this in England, I'd always loved watching Damon, he was the perennial nice guy in F1 and a truly great driver
He was cruelly denied/cheated out of the championship in 94, he was the best driver in that season too but Schumacher (great driver though he is) had a nasty streak that won out in the end.
Anyway, great memories, love Murray's commentary. Williams made a mistake in getting rid of Hill and they paid for it
@MegaAble1234 I miss that Williams-Rotham-Renault =(....I really hope that Williams would be able to improve in the following years...its so sad to see them where they are right now...
@MrThreshold2009 lol, have you ever watched F1? Schumacher cheated against Hill in 94 and tried to do the same to Villeneuve in 97, that's why he was disqualified. stop living in fantasy land, no good will come of it.

Actually Graham hill won it twice in 1962 and 1968 not like what Murray said in 62 and 65 and no body can ever bring the enthusiastic feel that Murray brings to the sport he is the best ever.
@proximer217 Murray is the BEST!!! "He's IN the pits... I'll Stop my startwatch when the wheels stop ~ NOW!" LMAO - big love Murray. F1 is at a loss without you! =D
@NorbPwn But it's not though is it ha. They can say what you like but you know the sense I mean, the Williams company exists to go racing in F1 and that is all.
@jaryd12345 The road car business is a tiny, niche market that's an offshoot of the racing team rather than the other way round, i.e. backed by a car manufacturer (Mercedes GP, Lotus Renault, the old Toyota, Honda, BMW teams, etc.) Mercedes no longer have any stake in the team and are merely an engine supplier.
@jonchapple Basically, the fact of the matter is, call it what you want, forget the terminology, you are aware what sort of team I mean with Williams, just like Jordan or Tyrell no team like that is ever going to have real success in F1 again.
@jaryd12345 I do know what you mean, but McLaren are one of that generation of classic British "garagistes", they've just been successful enough to keep up with the changing world of F1. Tyrrell, Brabham, March, Lotus, etc. couldn't. And yeah, it looks like Williams may end up going the same way unless they make some fairly major changes.
I know it's probably irrelevant but imagine what F1 would've been like if the V10's from the 1994-6 seasons were producing the amount of power as they were 10yrs later! Hill, Shuie, Senna Mika etc with over 900bhp.. would've been impressive to see
People have accused me of favouring Damon Hill at the expense Jacques Villenueve, belive me that is not the case. No body has more aIdmrartion for the brilliant little Canadian than I have. Classic Murray - we love you
It's a real shame Williams, my local team (I live a few miles from the factory) aren't a world championship winning team at the moment. I am sure they'll get back on top soon enough. Barrichello is a great drive but the car needs to be stronger.
@MegaSparky555 At the start of the race, Damon had a 9 point lead over Villenueve, so in order for Damon to lose the championship, he had to finish 7th or worse, and Villenueve had to win the race.
@MegaSparky555 What argument? You said "Wouldn't it be sad if he crashed on the last lap and didn't win the title?" I'm just saying that even if he had crashed, he would have won the title anyways. You asked 2 questions and I answered 2 questions politely.
Damon Hill, no matter what happened after this race, will ALWAYS be the greatest driver ever in F1 to me. I woke up one sunday morning (I was 9 years old), never watched F1 before, and I managed to catch the last few laps of this. This race, this lap, this man got me in to Formula One. And it makes it even more special to know that he clawed his way up to get the championship. This is motoracings Cinderella Man. No question. God bless you Damon!
Also its quite natural that Murray was emotional Other than being a british, Damon's personal story is very moving. He lost his father in an air crash very early and he struggled through sever financial hardships working menial jobs early in his life. Also he and georgie hill had a down's baby as their first child just before he made it to formula 1. So I can understand why Murray would feel a bit emotional about Damon's victory.
Still my favourite F1 lap, and always will be... always make me well up and remember waking up early as a 7 year old boy wanting my hero to win the world championship.
Such an emotional moment... it was worth losing a night's sleep to watch it, and Murray's 'I've got to stop, because I've got a lump in my throat' is truly one of the great commentary moments.
he talks about the son becoming world champion as well being a new thing, and what happened in 97? villeneuve won, weird, mind you damon probably would have won again if it wasnt thanks to frank making the most retarded decision in his life
Murray Walker is a legend! Pls bring him back to commentary of F1! This is one of the biggest moments of F1 racing :) Never heard Murray being so much choked up as he was that time! Damon and Murray, may you not be forgotten. For your lifelong dedication to Formula 1. I have a huge lump in my throat too, every time I see this.
@MrIrishlogic He gathered a broken team around him, gave them focus, faught back to bring the championship to the last round... I'd say that was deserved
@01simmenj I don't like MS (to not say I hate him...) but I have to admitt he was faster than Damon. Is bad move in Australia is unforgivable. But in pure speed, he was the best in 1994 with a less good car. (JJ Letho and Verstappen... nowhere with the Benetton)
About penalities, I don't know if he deserve it... maybe sometimes yes, sometimes no.

ENDLICH...aber für mich hat DAMON 2 TITEL in seiner KARRIERE GEWONNEN (94,96) !!! Dieser BASSDART SCHUMACHER !!! das werde ich ihm NIE verzeihen !!! SCHUMACHER ist ein DRECKIGES STÜCK SCHEISSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In 1994 I became a fan of Schumacher. He was a hero for my classmates and for me also. But in the end of the season I read an interview of Damon Hill. I was astonished how smart and funny it was and I began to think about if Schumacher could be my hero anymore. Damon taught me that there is more in life and sports than winning. It was a pleasure to see him racing, winning and also struggling. -thank you, Damon!
@GIANTreed1 VERY THX YOU MAN!!! I WAS LOOKING FOR THAT COMMENTATOR SINCE LONG TIME!!!! Fuck he rules. I cant never forget the f1 1995 psone game. My head went like "WOWOWOWOWOWO"
Murray was actually wrong. He said Graham Hill was the worlds champion in 1962 and 1965 - the former was correct, the latter was wrong. Graham took his second and final wc in 1968. 1965 belonged to the Scot Jim Clark.
I think Damon could have won the championship again had Williams kept him, for me Villeneuve's championship didn't stack up with Damon's, never mind Schumacher or Hakkinen's wins in the 90's era
"And Damon Hill exits the chicane and wins the Japanese grand prix and i've got to stop...because i've got a lump in my throat!"
Don't you just love Murray? I'm a M Schumacher fan but congrats to Damon, he fully deserved it, Damon Hill was a credit to British Motorsport. A true gentleman and a worthy champion. The same goes for Jenson. I still have fond memories of the Pizza Hut ad that Murray and Damon did. Ahh great times :)
Thanks very much for posting. Murray Walker's line "and I've got to stop, because I've got a lump in my throat" is my all-time favourite sporting moment, and Damon is my all-time favourite F1 driver. May not have had the raw pace of Schumacher, but by God he was a grafter and a gentleman too.
Totally aggree with you there m8 ... those cars where the only reason i watched f1 .. showed the other teams how to make a f1 car and to win & win & take many a world championships !! ... never expected them to just fall the way they have like ......
Damon Hill was my childhood hero, and this is THE most favourite sporting moment of my life, and always will be. Having the 94 title stolen from him made this one just so sweet.
in fact 1994 schumacher won deserved.. the accident was hills fault. but 1996 was his season ..from face 1 to 16 ... started everytime in the 1st row... i think nobody will do that again.
You have to get real....Schumi crashed Hill out of the race on purpose! He tried it in 97 will Jacques Villenueve and that occassion the FIA did the right thing and kick him out of the championship
yes, it's too bad Schumacher got away with a load of shit over the years
it's like normal rules didn't apply to him
Montreal 1998, nearly rammed Frentzen out coming from the pits. Silverstone 1998, drove into the pits in the finish and simply added 10 seconds to his finished time, which was a travesty!!
parking his car in Monaco in 2006, in order to stop others from outqualifying him
oh, and his fixed win in Austria in 2002, forcing Barrichello to let him pass the last seconds
If Ayrton Senna was alive, he'll be the champion this season and also the 1997 season!!!

"And Damon Hill exits the chicane and wins the Japanese grand prix and i've got to stop...because i've got a lump in my throat!"
Don't you just love Murray? I'm a M Schumacher fan but congrats to Damon, he fully deserved it, Damon Hill was a credit to British Motorsport. A true gentleman and a worthy champion. The same goes for Jenson. I still have fond memories of the Pizza Hut ad that Murray and Damon did. Ahh great times :)

Damon was my childhood hero... Now when Jenson won, I felt almost the same...

Very emotional end to a championship!! Think I can firmly say there has never been a F1 season like it since!!
For some reason I have no emotion when Hamilton and even Button won it!?!?

Because they are both unlikely champions. I think it was Flavio Briatore who said "the wrong guy in the wrong car is leading the championship".

Murray Walker the best commentator!!! Shame Jenson couldnt win the title like Damon did in Suzuka!!

Williams should have kept Hill for 1997 instead of signing Frentzen. He would probably have beaten Villeneuve again or at least been a better support.
Oh, and Damon Hill won his title aged 36, whereas Schumacher won his last title in 2004 aged 35....

Thanks very much for posting. Murray Walker's line "and I've got to stop, because I've got a lump in my throat" is my all-time favourite sporting moment, and Damon is my all-time favourite F1 driver. May not have had the raw pace of Schumacher, but by God he was a grafter and a gentleman too.

¡Excellent! He's such a gentleman, and an outstanding pilot.
His 1994 World Championship was stolen from him by Schumacher. It should be his second one.

Best F1 car ever seen - williams never been the same since ;(
ant234 2 years ago 2
@246DEK74 Of course, RENAULT engine of late 80's and 90's is the best motor ever in F1 ! In 6 years, 92 to 97, 6 manufacturers championship.
And 64 victories in less 99 races, and very, very rare brake. Even Ferrari in 6 years to 99-2004 and 103 races didn't had so much victories !
France rules, bravo viry-chatillon ! ^^

Damon Hill was my childhood hero, and this is THE most favourite sporting moment of my life, and always will be. Having the 94 title stolen from him made this one just so sweet.
playl1fe 2 years ago 3
in fact 1994 schumacher won deserved.. the accident was hills fault. but 1996 was his season ..from face 1 to 16 ... started everytime in the 1st row... i think nobody will do that again.
Streitstarter 2 years ago
You have to get real....Schumi crashed Hill out of the race on purpose! He tried it in 97 will Jacques Villenueve and that occassion the FIA did the right thing and kick him out of the championship
GwentGuy29 2 years ago 6
yes, it's too bad Schumacher got away with a load of shit over the years
it's like normal rules didn't apply to him
Montreal 1998, nearly rammed Frentzen out coming from the pits. Silverstone 1998, drove into the pits in the finish and simply added 10 seconds to his finished time, which was a travesty!!
parking his car in Monaco in 2006, in order to stop others from outqualifying him
oh, and his fixed win in Austria in 2002, forcing Barrichello to let him pass the last seconds
