A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Damon Hill does not agree with how the media 'spin' his criticism toward Max Verstappen, a brilliant talent, but whose tactics 'leave little to be desired', according to the former F1 champion at least.
Hill took to social media to rebuttle an article from a motorsport website which stated in its headline that the British former driver had done an 'U-turn' in his respects toward Verstappen after he called him one of the best drivers ever
The former Williams driver responded then tu the story: "Captioned 'U' turn, this heading neatly highlights the problem. Even journalists it seems do not listen to what is being said One can be at once both brilliant, and imperfect His talent is undeniable. His tactics sometimes leave a little to be desired,” Hill said.

Hill does not mince words when it comes to issuing criticism toward Verstappen. But, the Briton has also celebrated the Dutchman's greatest exploits. For instance when Verstappen overtook Piastri on the outside of the entry into Tamburello last Sunday.
