An Evening With F1 Legends Damon Hill and Johnny Herbert

In conversation with Matthew Stadlen

Together, they competed in 261 Grand Prix, amassed 25 wins, 49 podium finishes, two smashed ankles, a broken arm, wrist, leg, sixty ribs and two bruised egos. Now Damon Hill and Johnny Herbert join us to share their stories of life in the fast lane.

What’s it like to have an out of body experience while driving a car in the pouring rain at 200mph? Will Lewis Hamilton ever move to Ferrari? Can F1 ever be green? What’s Bernie Ecclestone like in person? Who are the greatest F1 drivers of all time?

From Monaco to Silverstone, join us for an unforgettable tour of the fastest and most thrilling sport ever invented from two of its bone fide superstars: former F1 World Champion Damon Hill and Grand Prix winner Johnny Herbert.

They say: ‘Despite its immense popularity, it’s often been argued that F1 can be a bit too serious. Well, nil desperandum, ladies and gentlemen, because we, Damon Hill OBE and Johnny Herbert DNF, are here to prove the doubters wrong by swapping honest, forthright opinions and stories involving automotive derring-do. And derring-don’t.’
