List of Formula One Grand Prix wins by Damon Hill
Damon Hill is a British former racing driver who won one Formula One World Championship. Hill made his Formula One debut in 1992 at a remarkably late age of 31 years, driving for the Brabham team on several occasions after previously being Williams's test and reserve driver. After Brabham went bankrupt at the end of 1992, Hill was promoted by Williams as a regular driver in 1993 to replace reigning world champion Nigel Mansell (who departed the series), where he showed great performances right away finishing third overall behind eventual world champion Alain Prost and runner-up Ayrton Senna by achieving three victories, all of which were consecutively with his first Grand Prix win occurring at the 1993 Hungarian Grand Prix on 15 August.[1][2] In 1994, Hill remained for a second season at Williams and suddenly saw himself challenging rising star Michael Schumacher for the championship after Senna was killed in an accident while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.[3] Hill and Schumacher dominated the season, winning 14 out of 15 races combined heading into the final round in Adelaide. The race was notable for a controversial collision between the two title contenders, which resulted in both retiring from the race and Schumacher winning the championship by one point.[1][4]
The following year, Hill won four races and finished runner-up once again to Schumacher, before he achieved by far his best season in 1996 as he won eight races to claim his first and only world championship title in his career, becoming the first son of a Formula One World Champion to win the title.[1][5][lower-alpha 1] Despite winning the 1996 World Championship, Hill was later dismissed by Williams and he subsequently joined Arrows for 1997.[1][7][8] Because of having uncompetitive machinery, he was unable to match his championship-winning performances from the previous year and saw himself being winless for an entire season for the first time since his rookie campaign, finishing twelfth overall with his best result being a second-place finish in Hungary. He actually lost a potential victory there due to a mechanical issue suffered on the final stages of the race after comfortably leading the majority of the race.[9] Hill left Arrows after just one season and joined Jordan in 1998, where he achieved his 22nd and final victory at that year's memorable Belgian Grand Prix, which had to be red-flagged and restarted after a multi-car incident on the opening lap, giving the Jordan team its first victory in their history.[10][11]
In all, Hill won a total of 22 races at 15 different circuits. He achieved the majority of his race wins for the Williams team with 21, with the remaining Grand Prix victory coming while driving for Jordan. He was most successful at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, where he won three times. His largest winning margin was at the 1995 Australian Grand Prix, when he lapped the entire field twice.[12] His narrowest winning margin was in Belgium in 1998, finishing only 0.932 seconds ahead of Ralf Schumacher.[11]
