Key facts:

Damon Hill is best known for being the F1 World Champion of 1996.

He is the only son of a world champion to win the title.

Before making his mark in Formula One, Hill competed primarily on motorbikes and then switched to single-seater racing cars.

Although he never won a race in the International Formula 300 championship, Hill's potential caught the attention of the Formula One title-winning Williams team, where he served as a test driver in 1992 and was promoted to the race team in the following year.

Hill became Michael Schumacher's main rival for the Formula One Drivers' Championship in the mid-199s, eventually winning the championship in 1996.

After retiring from racing in 1999, Hill has pursued other ventures including setting up several businesses and making appearances as a guitar player in celebrity bands.

In 2006, he took over the presidency of the British Racing Drivers' Club from Jackie Stewart, a position he held until 2011.
