Graham Hill may not have been blessed with the natural talent of a <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/drivers\/jim-clark\/\">Jim Clark<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/drivers\/jackie-stewart\/\">Jackie Stewart<\/a>, but he more than made up for that in sheer determination and effortless charm. Twice World Champion during his 176 races as a Grand Prix star, he remains the only driver to win the Monaco GP, Indianapolis 500 and Le Mans 24 Hours.<\/p>\n<h3>Early life and introduction to racing<\/h3>\n<p>Hill left Hendon Technical College to take up an apprenticeship with instruments manufacturer Smith\u2019s. He broke his hip in a motorcycle accident but despite having one leg shorter than the other as a result, Hill then completed his National Service in the Royal Navy in 1950. He was a stroke for the London Rowing Club and both he and his son would adopt their colours as their helmet design.<\/p>\n<p>Already 24 years old, Hill first drove a racing car at <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/circuits\/brands-hatch\/\">Brands Hatch<\/a> in 1953 when he paid \u00a31 to complete four laps in a Cooper. Determined to make his way in the sport, Hill left Smith\u2019s and worked as a mechanic at the circuit and for 500cc Formula 3 champion <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/drivers\/don-parker\/\">Don Parker<\/a> in return for sporadic opportunities to race. It was at the August Bank Holiday meeting in 1954 that Hill hitched a lift back to London with <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/drivers\/colin-chapman\/\">Colin Chapman<\/a> and he soon joined <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/teams\/lotus\/\">Lotus<\/a> as a mechanic.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-135612 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-660x371.jpg 660w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-165x93.jpg 165w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-82x46.jpg 82w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-658x370.jpg 658w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-329x185.jpg 329w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-172x97.jpg 172w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Chapman-Hill-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>He drove a Lotus 11 sports car during the 1956 club season and won races at Brands Hatch and <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/circuits\/silverstone\/\">Silverstone<\/a>.

That was not until the <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1961-italian-grand-prix\/\">Italian GP<\/a> and even then, Hill only ran the unit during practice. Fifth in the <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1961-united-states-grand-prix\/\">United States GP<\/a>, despite a pitstop to reattach his magneto, was Hill\u2019s best result of the year. That Lotus won its third GP that day (and the first for the works) team led to questions as to whether Hill had made the right decision to leave.<\/p>\n<p>However, any such doubts were erased in 1962. The V8-powered BRM P57 was now fully sorted and Hill won non-championship races at <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1962-goodwood-f1-2\/\">Goodwood<\/a> and Silverstone before the season proper began. That promise was confirmed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1962-dutch-grand-prix\/\">Dutch GP<\/a> as Hill took control after the impressive Clark was delayed in the pits for nine laps \u2013 finally scoring his maiden GP win. Engine failure with eight laps to go lost certain victory in <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1962-monaco-grand-prix\/\">Monaco<\/a> and he finished second behind Clark after qualifying on pole for the subsequent <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1962-belgian-grand-prix\/\">Belgian GP<\/a>. Back-to-back victories in <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1962-german-grand-prix\/\">Germany<\/a> (despite a fire extinguisher loose in his cockpit) and <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1962-italian-grand-prix\/\">Italy<\/a> were followed by second-place at <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1962-united-states-grand-prix\/\">Watkins Glen<\/a> behind title rival Clark. That set up a winner take all showdown in <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1962-south-african-grand-prix\/\">South Africa<\/a> \u2013 Hill clinching a fourth win of the year and his first <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/championships\/1962-f1-world-championship\/\">World Championship<\/a> when the Scot retired from the lead.<\/p>\n<h4>Birth of &#8220;Mr Monaco&#8221;<\/h4>\n<p>His title defence in <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1963-monaco-grand-prix\/\">1963 included the first of five Monaco GP<\/a> victories (eventually earning the sobriquet \u201cMr Monaco\u201d) but the reliability that had been crucial a year earlier had deserted the team. He also won the <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1963-united-states-grand-prix\/\">United States GP<\/a> and scored a couple of third-place finishes as he tied team-mate <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/drivers\/richie-ginther\/\">Richie Ginther<\/a> as runner-up behind Clark.<\/p>\n<p>Hill was part of the drama that defined the <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/championships\/1964-f1-world-championship\/\">1964 World Championship<\/a>. Further victories in <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1964-monaco-grand-prix\/\">Monaco<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1964-united-states-grand-prix\/\">Unites States<\/a> plus three successive second-place in the middle of the season gave Hill the chance of snatching a second crown at the <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1964-mexican-grand-prix\/\">Mexican GP<\/a> finale. In the event, he made a poor start but he soon climbed to third. That would have been good enough to win the championship but he was hit by <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/drivers\/lorenzo-bandini\/\">Lorenzo Bandini<\/a>\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/teams\/ferrari\/\">Ferrari<\/a> as the Italian attempted to pass. Out of the race, Hill\u2019s hopes lay in tatters before the dominant Clark retired on the last lap.

Although unable to match his rival, Hill finished every race bar one (including another <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1965-united-states-grand-prix\/\">US GP success<\/a>) and was second in the <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/championships\/1965-f1-world-championship\/\">World Championship<\/a> for a third successive year.<\/p>\n<p>Although 1966 proved frustrating in F1, with Hill failing to win a GP for the time since 1961, the year provided one of his most important (and lucrative) victories of his career. <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/drivers\/walt-hansgen\/\">Walt Hansgen<\/a> was slated to drive one of John Mecom\u2019s Lola T90-Fords in that year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1966-indianapolis-500\/\">Indianapolis 500<\/a> but the veteran died a week after crashing during April\u2019s Le Mans test weekend. Hill was drafted in as his late replacement and the rookie qualified the \u201cAmerican Red Ball Special\u201d on the outside of row five. Having avoided the first lap melee, Hill inherited victory when his team-mate (that day and in F1) Jackie Stewart retired with ten laps to go. Having recently learnt to fly, Hill used his winnings to buy a light aircraft which he used to travel to races.<\/p>\n<p>Hill returned to Lotus in 1967 when accepting the challenge of direct comparison with the mercurial Clark in Chapman\u2019s team. The team had an exclusive contract with Ford to develop the new <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/articles\/single-seaters\/f1\/from-dfv-to-red-bull-fords-glorious-f1-timeline\/?v=79cba1185463\">Cosworth-designed DFV engine<\/a>. Second in <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1967-monaco-grand-prix\/\">Monaco<\/a> driving an old Lotus 33-BRM, he qualified the new Lotus 49-Ford on pole position for its debut in <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1967-dutch-grand-prix\/\">Holland<\/a> although he retired from the lead. Mechanical failures in the next four GPs denied probable victories in <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1967-french-grand-prix\/\">France<\/a> and at <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1967-british-grand-prix\/\">Silverstone<\/a>. He was second at <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1967-united-states-grand-prix\/\">Watkins Glen<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/championships\/1967-f1-world-championship\/\">finished sixth equal in the championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"c-content-product content-product content-section\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"content-product__grid\">\n            <div class=\"content-product__product\">\n                                    <div\n                        data-behaviour=\"tag-automation\" data-automation-type=\"related-product\"\n                        data-tags=\"[&quot;graham hill&quot;]\" data-current-post=\"27466\">\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"content-product__content user-content\">\n                <p>The 1968 F1 season began with the <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1968-south-african-grand-prix\/\">South African GP<\/a> at Kyalami and Clark led Hill in a Lotus 1-2 to signal new-found reliability to go with the car\u2019s undoubted pace. However, Clark was killed at <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/circuits\/hockenheim\/\">Hockenheim<\/a> during a minor F2 race before the next round of the World Championship. Hill showed his courage and fortitude as he led the grief-stricken team \u2013 winning the next two GPs in <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1968-spanish-grand-prix\/\">Spain<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1968-monaco-grand-prix\/\">Monaco<\/a>.

He won the <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1969-monaco-grand-prix\/\">Monaco GP<\/a> for a fifth time (a record that would last until 1993) but he suffered a puncture during the penultimate GP at <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1969-united-states-grand-prix\/\">Watkins Glen<\/a> and crashed heavily. Hill was thrown clear and broke both of his legs. His cheerful reaction to his extensive stay in hospital (giving a televised phone conversation on the following Monday) only served to heighten his popularity.<\/p>\n<p>Any thoughts of retirement were brushed aside and Hill returned at the start of the 1970 season. He drove <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/drivers\/rob-walker\/\">Rob Walker<\/a>\u2019s private Lotus 49C-Ford that year and scored points in the first three races despite his continued difficulty even walking.<\/p>\n<h4>Later racing years<\/h4>\n<p>He moved to <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/teams\/brabham\/\">Brabham<\/a> in 1971 to replace the retiring team owner. Victory in the <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1971-international-trophy\/\">International Trophy<\/a> provided Hill with a popular final F1 success but he finished no higher than fifth when points were on offer. He also drove a Rondel Racing Brabham BT36-Ford in F2 and won at <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/circuits\/thruxton\/\">Thruxton<\/a> for the Ron Dennis-owned team.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"c-content-article content-article content-section\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"content-article__grid\">\n            <div class=\"content-article__article\">\n                <h2 class=\"title sanomat\">From the archive<\/h2>\n                                    <div\n                        data-behaviour=\"tag-automation\"\n                        data-automation-type=\"related-issue-content\"\n                        data-tags=\"[&quot;graham hill&quot;]\"\n                        data-current-post=\"27466\"><\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"content-article__content user-content\">\n                <p>A second F1 season with Brabham included fifth-place at <a href=\"https:\/\/uat.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/races\/1972-italian-grand-prix\/\">Monza<\/a> but it was again away from that category that he scored a famous victory.
