  • He is the only driver ever to win the Triple Crown of Motorsport—the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Indianapolis 500 and the Monaco Grand Prix.
  • He also appeared on TV in the 1970s on a variety of non-sporting programmes including panel games.
  • He liked painting in his spare time. Hill and his son Damon were the first father and son pair to win Formula One World Championships.
