🇬🇧 Graham Hill

Graham Hill was a British single-seater racing driver who competed in Formula 1 for eighteen seasons from 1958 to 1975, driving primarily for BRM. He was an established professional, rating 6,130, and won three world championships across that span: 1962 and 1964 with BRM, and 1968 with Lotus-Ford.[1]

Hill started 177 times in Formula 1 and took 14 wins and 36 podium finishes across his career. He was a regular opponent to two-time champions Jack Brabham and John Surtees, racing closely matched against both. His record included victories over Jackie Stewart, who would go on to win three world titles; he beat Stewart to the line nine times across their head-to-head meetings. Hill competed through the grid's full spectrum, from amateurs sharing races with graded professionals, and held the record for most podium finishes at the time of his retirement. Beyond his Formula 1 record, he won the Indianapolis 500 in 1966 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1972, becoming the first driver to complete the Triple Crown of Motorsport.[2]
