GRAHAM HILL
F1 WORLD CHAMPION RACING DRIVER 1962 & 1968 ORIGINAL INK AUTOGRAPH &
POSTCARD
Norman Graham Hill OBE (15th February 1929 –
29th November 1975) was a British racing driver and team owner, who
was the Formula One World Champion twice, winning in 1962 and 1968 as well
as being runner up on three occasions (1963, 1964 and 1965). Despite not
passing his driving test until 1953 when he was already 24 years of age, and
only entering the world of motorsports a year later, Hill would go on to become
one of the greatest drivers of his generation. Hill is most celebrated for being
the only driver ever to win the Triple Crown of Motorsport, an achievement
which he defined as winning the Indianapolis 500, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and
the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship. Hill set up his own team in 1973,
operating under the name Embassy Hill. He continued to race, however after
failing to qualify for the 1975 Monaco Grand Prix he retired from driving to
concentrate on the day-to-day operations of the team. That same year Hill and
five other members of the Embassy Hill team were killed when the aeroplane Hill
was piloting from France crashed in fog at night on Arkley golf course
while attempting to land at Elstree Airfield in north London.
