Formula One legend Phil Hill (now 81) returns to the seat of a Maserati (in this case an MC12) to celebrate 50 years since his first F1 race. His son, race driver Derek Hill, is behind the wheel.

  • R.I.P., Phil. Thanks for being such a great ambassador to our nation in such a great international sport!

  • Why was Phil Hill never honored by the government when he was alive, was it because he was not military nor did he play games? He was a gem and a great ambassador for the US. I guess you have to use a ball or bullet in this country to get some attention

  • @RafaelSatchmo Phil Hill's record speaks for itself. Just a great driver, great man. I spent time with him at a Ford junkett at Monterey in 2003. He was great.

  • @captainjustin74 First, Gurney was a great driver, and the only one that Jimmy Clark feared. Had Dan not decided to go into building race cars, he most likely would have been a world champ. Andretti, while born in Italy, emmigrated to the US after WWII with his family. He was a young kid at the time. He became an American citizen, and learned to drive in the US, not Italy. His experience was on dirt ovals with "stock" cars and jalopies. So he was/is an American driver.

  • there has been only one US born World champ in F1 and his name was Phill Hill

    Philip Toll Hill, Jr., (April 20, 1927 – August 28, 2008) was a United States automobile racer and the only American-born driver to win the Formula One Drivers title>>

  • Dan Gurney won some F1 races but NEVER TOOK THE DRIVERS CHAMPIONSHIP he was a great driver but he was never the F1 World Champ.

    Also I am sure someone will say what about Mario Andretti. So ok what about him Yes he has one the F1 world championship But He Was and Italian at the time so I am sorry you can not list him as an American that won the F1 Championship!

  • What about Dan Gurney? He's American last time i Checked

    Doh!!!

  • What about Dn Gurney? He's American last time i Checked

    Doh!!!

  • maserati mc12 e2 ung nag champion sa fia gt 2009

  • @NewYankee01 you may think of him as the worst. But he's one thing you're not: A World Champion.

  • Great man, great car.
