About Phil Hill

  • Philip Toll Hill Jr.
  • (April 20, 1927 – August 28, 2008) was an American automobile racer and the only American-born driver to win the Formula One World Drivers' Championship (Mario Andretti, an Italian American driver, won the World Drivers' Championship in 1978, but was not born in the United States).
  • He also scored three wins at each of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 12 Hours of Sebring sports car races. Hill was described as a "thoughtful, gentle man" and once said, "I'm in the wrong business.
  • I don't want to beat anybody, I don't want to be the big hero.
  • I'm a peace-loving man, basically."
