Family Affair—The Hills and The Rosbergs

Robert Newman

Fathers and their sons who have each won the Formula 1 World Championship are few and far between. There are only two dads and their lads who have pulled it off. The first to climb that particular Everest were the Hills: Graham won the 1962 world title driving a BRM P57 and the 1968 title in Colin Chapman’s Lotus 49 and 49B. Thirty years later, his son Damon won the 1996 world championship in a Williams FW18 with a series of stunning drives.
