Graham Hill : Driven

[ThriceNightly]

Great documentary and well worth watching

Portrait of the eccentric, charismatic British motor racing legend Graham Hill, a man who lived and died during a time when sex was safe and racing was dangerous.

Uniquely, he won the Formula 1 World Championship, the Indy 500 and the Le Mans 24 hours; he won the Monaco Grand Prix five times and was a great raconteur and a dashing figure with a keen eye for the ladies.

Features contributions from family, close friends and former colleagues including son Damon and track rival Jackie Stewart.
