Damon Hill (39x19)

: 11, 1999

Damon Hill, racing driver, was surprised by Michael Aspel - with the help of commentator Murray Walker - during a charity cheque presentation for the Downs Syndrome Association at the Landmark Hotel in London. Damon, the son of Formula One World Champion Graham Hill, made his Grand Prix debut at the relatively late age of 31, having spent his earlier years working in construction and racing motorbikes, as well as a being a member of a punk rock band. His big break came in 1991 as test driver for the Williams team, securing the first of his 22 victories at the 1993 Hungarian Grand Prix.
