The Sunday Times #1 Bestseller, shortlisted for the Cross Sports
Book Award. In 1996, Damon Hill was crowned Formula One World
Champion. For the first time ever he tells the story of his journey
through the last golden era of the sport when he took on the greats
including Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher and emerged
victorious as World Champion in 1996, stepping out of the shadow of
his legendary father Graham Hill. Away from the grid, Watching the
Wheels: The Autobiography is an astonishingly candid account of
what it was like to grow up as the son of one of the country's most
famous racing drivers. It also tells the unflinching story of
dealing with the grief and chaos that followed his father's
tragically early death in an aircraft accident in 1975, when Damon
was fifteen years old. Formula One drivers have always been aware
of their mortality, and the rush that comes with the danger of
racing was as intoxicating for Hill as it had been for his father's
generation, until he came face-to-face with catastrophe when his
team-mate, Ayrton Senna, was killed in 1994. The swirling emotions
that Hill was faced with in light of the death of Senna was a
defining moment for his generation of drivers and for the first
time ever Hill talks candidly about the impact that Senna had on
his life, even as he watched his own son step into motor racing.
Courageously honest, and hugely rewarding, Watching the Wheels is a
return to the last golden era of F1 racing, whose image still burns
ferociously for those who love the sport for what it reveals about
human skill in the face of near certain death.
