Damon Hill from Zero to Hero

Rating:
Summary: A lucky one.....
Review: HIll's history is one of those success histories that keeps on marvelling us. The guy would have virtually no chance against Ayrton Senna in Williams-Renault, back in 1994. But Senna died, and Hill, a driver who had never achieved absolutely nothing in the lesser formulas, suddenly became William's Number One.

And such a Number One he became. Learning fast, he almost secured te World Tittle already in 1994, had not MIchael Schumacher played dirty in the Australian Grand Prix. (do you need any other proof that the machine is much more important than the driver in modern Formula One? Hill was in his second season, had never showed any signs of above-average skill, and was almost the World Champion - courtesy of Williams-Renault, not his skills)

In the following years, Hill became the main contender against Germany's robot Michael Schumacher, the most victorious driver ever in F-1. And won his Championship in 1996.

This book gives a lesson: you can learn with the passing of time, it's never late to believe you can be succesfull in something you desire a lot (ok, I admit that being the son of Graham Hill would help you a lot...)
