former damon hill has been telling me sir sterling was one of the most talented drivers the sport hasat—of—the—pants driver who threw himself and relied on his instincts. he was very, very aware of what he was doing as a driver. he was incredibly dangerous of racing. and he somehow managed to work out the risk reward ratio, somehow. and knew he had to survive. at the same time was prepared to ta ke at the same time was prepared to take quite big risk. it's almost inconceivably dangerous. now when we look back at that area and what he is to do and when he was expected to do, but he was quite young. i think he was about 25 or something when he w011. he was about 25 or something when he won. perhaps he didn't have so much for her because he was young. he very much was patriotic, and very patriotic driver and a sportsman. i think he believed in those corinthian values. clearly a man who loves raisins. brace into his 80s. and continue to inspire racers like lewis hamilton, it will be his legacy? i think his legacy is that he was a living legend. after he'd retired. he was a legend. after h

among those paying tribute was 1996 formula one champion damon hill who i‘m delighted to sayjoins usa long time, it‘s difficult to think of him not being here. looking at that picture, surrounded by the greats of motor sport on your christening day, no one would have known what you would go on to achieve but was he supportive of you as you chase your dreams and motorsport? yes, he was supportive, i think it was supportive of all british motorsport drivers, he was very patriotic and he said he would rather lose honourably in a british car than when rather lose honourably in a british carthan when in rather lose honourably in a british car than when in a non—british car! and then he went to drive for mercedes and had some of his greatest successes in mercedes, just like lewis hamilton so he was patriotic. he banged the drum for motor sport and you know, was supportive of me and we got to know each other a little bit when we were trying to keep the british grand prix and i was president of the british racing drivers club so we came together there to support a common goal. do you remembe
