2020 was a year of extremes, as it was in motor racing. Formula 1 had a season with some unique and amazing moments. Damon Hill has been reflecting on the season in the podcast 'In the Pink', and he spoke about his favorite moments of the 2020 season.

Best moments of Formula 1 season 2020

"For me that was the race George Russell substituted for Lewis Hamilton. I'm sorry for Lewis and Valtteri, but at that point a star was born. He was given a golden opportunity and did a great job, but unfortunately it didn't end well. But he did show what he's capable of," said Hill.
"The question is often asked: 'If all the drivers had the same equipment, who would win the race?' But unfortunately, in this sport, not everyone can have the same equipment. It's in the DNA of the sport."
There was one other moment that stood out to Hill. "Sergio Perez's victory was just a tearjerker. That was fantastic. Those moments are the best," added the former-World Champion.
