Graham Hill: The Best Driver In History | Full Documentary | Racing Through Time

[@chicobicalho5621]

Two Formula One titles, the Indy 500, 24 hours of Le Mans, 5 wins in Monaco and he was never knighted.

[@annelouisejamieson402]

Lucky enough to see him race at Mosport, Watkins Glen and Monaco. Thanks for the memories, kind sir. Legend

[@michaelcrafter8994]

Quite oustanding. Loved Bette speaking with her passion and knowledge of it all. All seem to have been working together as a family. Thanks for allowing me to see the Graham Hill I didn't know about in so much detail. Great video.

[@Goodnewsglobal]

In Damon's hill book he says they forgot to turn on the lights for the run way that terrible Friday night.. So tragic..

[@ysgol3]

Who in sport, anywhere, then OR since, can march Graham's amazing combination of immense, unique achievement, stunning physical courage and hilarious humour? NOBODY that's who - not even close.

[@Irene-ym7bx]

The charisma of this man, he could charm the pants off anyone

[@derekantill3721]

I saw Graham race many times throughout his career from 1957 to 1975.

[@sam.victor470]

Graham Hill OBE 2×F1 GP WDC TITLES (in 1962 & 1968) 'THE TRIPLE CROWN' Monaco Grands Prix (5) 24 Hours Le Mans (1972) Indianapolis500 (1966)

[@dimatteo806]

Und bis heute unerreicht. Eine wahre Legende.

[@sam.victor470]

His alleged Monte Carlo casino type womanising reputation and movie matinee idol image, (Clark Gable pencil moustache etc.) possibly detracted, (but probably contributed) to him being known as 'Mr Monaco', from winning the Monaco Grand Prix multiple times. He is still the only holder of 'The Triple Crown', (not even Hill's contemporary, the immortal Scot Jim Clark managed to equal that before his untimely demise.) Hill is also the first half of the only father and son winners of F1 Grand Prix World Drivers' Championship; son Damon Hill winning in 1996. Should F1 GP usually brutal rules apply Keke Rosberg and Nico Rosberg are somewhat tenuous father and son holders. Although both are still alive, Keke was born in Sweden of Finnish parents and Nico was born in Germany of a German mother, although Monaco raised with his father. However, there are no objections to their claim to father and son winners of F1 GP WDC TITLES.

[@Pete-z6e]

Those WERE the days.

[@GBURGE55]

Although he DID win Le Mans in 1972 (finally!) He was VERY unlucky not to not to have won it earlier. True legend.

[@MrScotbar]

Very distinctive helmet on Hill, but Jim Clark was the greatest F1 driver of this era: Hill 14 GP wins, JC - 25 wins

[@Matapang2]

Jim Clark was pure magic

[@MrScotbar]

@@Matapang2 He certainly was. As a young teenager I went with my dad to Warwick Farm in Sydney and saw him, both walking around the pits and on the track (along with Graham Hill among others), during a couple of Tasman series races during the mid 60s . Great memories, and a reason why I still, sort of, follow Formula One today. A tragic loss when he was killed in an horrific crash at Hockenheim in 1968

[@scottdelong1]

Yeah, even Graham would agree that Clark and Stewart had more talent than he did. A very good driver but not a virtuoso like Senna or Fangio.

[@jameswebb4593]

Great cars , greater characters who drove them. Modern F1 with all their technology , winning is often more reliant upon the engineers sitting in front of the computers then the drivers. No longer a sport , just a business .

[@SirOliverNorwell]

45:20 Interesting that Ron Taurenac is naming Jochen Rindt as an example for extraordinary natural talent. That matches with quotes from Jack Brabham and John Cooper who called Rindt the perhaps greatest natural talent he ever raced again and the Senna of its time respectively.

[@skisavoie]

Thanks for a very informative video. Just the information I needed to restore a plane that I was given. I don’t suppose you have done similar with a wooden plane? I bought a lovely jointing plane for very little money and would love to restore it properly and put it back into use. Best wishes, Colin. P.S., I’m now a subscriber. 👍

[@RAW555R]

What's a jointing plane?

[@Twin540i]

Still the only triple crown winner to date. Lemans, Monaco, Indianapolis 500, F1 world champion

[@raytrevor1]

Traditionally the triple crown was for the three major races of very different formulae, Le Mans, Indy 500 and Monaco. Only recently has the F1 world championship been considered part of it, which makes no sense as it is not a single race.

[@cmw9876]

I'm not a mathematician but you have written four "races" there. Perhaps you mean Monaco is a great race in the F1 series. You could leave off F1 for three races which makes more sense.

[@jonathanbuck4318]

Who is that picture of in the thumbnail? It ain’t Graham Hill.

[@gavinivers8941]

Agreed.

[@claudiomarangone614]

True

[@ossiepickett1932]

AI interpretation I'd say

[@SJSpode114]

Wrong helmet design and wrong face. Apart from that….

[@iannicholls7476]

Yep, definitely not his helmet!

[@cmw9876]

I would call your title clickbait without the need for any explanation.

[@Arnaud58]

"Graham Hill: The Best Driver In History" That might be taking things a tad too far... Too bad though that Graham couldn't pass on some of his better sportsmanship genes. It always has been a joy to see him drive.👴👌

[@Ettocs124]

I wonder what the stern words from Sterling Moss were about.

[@twillis449]

Yes, Graham was excellent, but the title 'The Best Driver in History' is clickbait. But a very good documentary in any case. I would say that the 'Best Driver in History' might be a certain Jim Clark. Jim totally dominated Graham when they were Lotus teammates in 1967.

[@john1703]

Agreed, and Keke and Nico Rosberg have emulated the father and son championship winners. Also, Fernando Alonso might try for Indy and the triple crown. Ayrton Senna won six times in Monaco.

[@noverguy]

The youtube commercials are so annoying and stupid its almost impossible to sit through these docs. The documentaries are fantastic. The commercials are the stupidest content I've ever seen. Amazing they think they can sell a product using such stupid commercials.

[@garydunn7014]

I liked him as a youngster growing up, & I like his son a lot too. But 'Best Driver in History'......c'mon..... Even his son wouldn't say that.

[@maximilliancunningham6091]

Jim Clark

[@almarn]

Unfortunately he was a reckless aircraft pilot…..he is totally guilty for the accident where he was killed with 5 other people. The Hill family was sued by the families and lost everything assets, properties and so on. A great driver and he did an astonishing drive at night wining the Man’s race with Henri Pescarolo on Matra MS 670

[@ghenckel]

Solid driver. Certainly not the best. Sorry.

[@craigyirush3492]

Yeah, won two world titles, multiple Monaco GPs, the Indy 500, and Le Mans, but he’s just ‘solid’. Seriously?

[@geoffnelson4777]

@@craigyirush3492 There are those of us who believe the '66 Indy marshals botched it and that Clark won '66 Indy - Clark thought so, Chapman thought so...Le Mans '72 had that year's dominant car, Ferrari, as a no show to allow some other team, like Matra, win. Hill was a great driver but certainly not the greatest, as you claim.

[@craigyirush3492]

@@geoffnelson4777 I never claimed he was the greatest. Can you not read? I was just mocking the OP’s risible claim that he was only ‘solid’. And stop hiding behind ‘there are those of us’. Man up and make your own arguments.

Lacklustre today but in its day it was great

[@Doc_-_Savage_1]

Just another typical Euro-snob. My grandfathers should have left you bastards to the Germans, and then the Russians. Swine.

[@Boobyi1953]

No, the Indianapolis 500 means something to British fans when a British driver goes and races against drivers who have been competing on Oval Circuits for years and beats them, Like Nigel Mansell who had just won the F1 World Championship, goes to America, wins his first race, wins the Championship! It proves we have the best drivers in the World.

[@nostraoffice1486]

@@Boobyi1953 no. it just proves that americans know nothing about racing. the fins have much better drivers, for example, so sit down.

[@tonyb9735]

I don't follow American motorsport, but going over there and winning the Indy 500 when you are not used to that series is a huge achievement. Massive.
