My 2nd full season of watching F1. What a fantastic season it was and I can just remember the constant dreams of wanting to drive the FW18 as a 9 year old. Williams I owe you a great deal of gratitude for getting me addicted to F1 :)
Mine too and it partly led to Newey leaving. Frank never seemed to learn. He thought ruthlessness was always the right path and learnt the hard way that it isn't always.@@Kozzzmozzz7
Front row starts for every race in 1996 for Damon. 9 all Williams front rows in 1996 for the team. 12 wins total, 8 for Damon, 4 for Jacques in his rookie season. Only two other men would win all season. Schumacher 3 times, and Panis in Monaco. I think I’m right in saying that this was the team’s most prolific season. What a car. And it’s so damn beautiful to boot.
Looking for to seeing Villeneuve in a Williams in Montreal, in the future. As an American, his Indy 500 win and Schumacher punt to win the championship, was memorable. Former Indy 500 winner, Montoya, also a Williams driver, should have won the F1 championship too. Both, honorary Americans in my book. It's a shame, multi-CART champion, Zanardi, didn't find success at Williams. Loved him as well.
Damon was always my favorite F1 driver but I guess I'm a bit biased. I knew one of the F1 reporters at the time and he was able to get me a autographed picure of Damon. So Cool!
Fantastic to see Damon in the car which took him to the F1 World Championship in 1996. The car is beautiful and the beautiful V10 sound too. I use to watch him in that car 1996 and it was from a fantastic era. Fantastic memories 🙏😍
Fabulous seeing him driving his championship winning car. It does raise the unavoidable question - would he have won the 1996 title if Schumacher had stayed at Benneton instead of joining Ferrari?
Man that car was beauty and so was the Rothmans livery! I mean I do understand why tobacco sponsorship was banned, but man did they provide absolutely the BEST racing liveries of all time!
Boa noite !!!! Cara, que emoção incrível ver o grande Damon Hill novamente no cockpit dessa Willians. Passa um filme na minha cabeça. Quantas lembranças e quanta saudade. Parabéns Campeão !!!! Obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil.........
look at the front wing and aero compared to current cars and it's clear why there was such better racing back then. hopefully the new cars take us back to some of those amazing races.
It's amazing to think of it like a partnership, like KITT and Michael Knight. She (the FW18) won't age, but Damon will. It's so interesting to see them meet again. One has clearly aged and the other hasn't.
Great watch. Miss the sounds these cars produced, I actually think the mid to late 90s V10s sounded better than the last ones up to 05. They just sounded more melodic and less harsh than the last ones.
I agree. I also think the same about V8s. Schumacher's Benetton from 1992 and the mid-90s CART open wheelers sounded better than the 20,000+ rpm zippers from 2006.
What we have forgotten: This car is the most successful Williams ever had!!!...This masterpiece gained 12 Victories..! But it's a little bit in the shadow of the FW14...Don't know why...
One of my favorite Williams cars. In the 3.0L era these cars have the better engines. Didn't rev too high. But the whole car is too good, from design to the classic Rothmans colors.
How much better did the cars sound and look back then, I know today's cars are technical wonder's but I would much rather watch and listen to pre v6 hybrid era
I'd rather watch these 96 cars race today, than the engineering masterpiece no passion no sound machines of today. The 96 Williams was an amazing car, so it was pretty special to see Damon being out-qualified in the 96 Monaco GP by half a second with a much much worse ferrari.
Damon, in 2021 you remember so well what happened in 1996? So happy your memory improved compared to 1994 when you remembered nothing about what happened to your car in 1994.
Impossivel. Damon Hill só disputou o título contra Schumacher por causa das punições (idiotas) aplicadas contra Schumacher, para tentar equilibrar o campeonato. Num Universo paralelo,em 1995, talvez disputasse o título, mas em 1996, talvez ele fosse para a Ferrari, e Schumacher para a Williams, onde com certeza seria campeão em 1996 e 1997. Agora, Senna não iria competir em 1997, 1998, 2000 e 2001, pelos simples facto de que não seria Ross Brown a desenhar aqueles carros, e sim John Barnard.
@@l.h.r-gamer8300 Senna tinha contrato de 3 anos com a Williams, e quanto a 94 o carro melhorou muito após Mônaco com FW16B, que seria a próxima corrida e sabemos como Senna era em Mônaco, provavelmente já iria começar a reagir, Schumacher era ótimo coloco ele abaixo apenas do Senna (dos que eu vi), mas era novo ainda e conforme o Senna fosse reagindo os erros iriam aparecer, as punições foram justas, mas com a melhora do FW16B Senna não iria precisar disso pra virar o campeonato, tenho certeza do que falo, quanto ao futuro é tudo muito difícil de saber, após 97 Senna poderia seguir o coração e ir pra Ferrari, ou quem sabe com a Mercedes na McLaren Ron Dennis poderia chamar ele novamente e Senna poderia balançar, Ron Dennis era muito apegado ao passado, tentou levar o Prost em 94,95, tentou o Mansell mesmo gordo em 95, cara o Senna era ambicioso, ele não iria largar a Williams depois das melhores, e os carro de 95, 96 e 97 da Williams eram superiores!
@@jogadorcomum3265 justas? O Schumacher levou um banimento de duas corridas por ignorar uma bandeira preta. Roman Grosjean fez, sei lá como vou chamar, aquele desastre ferroviário em SPA 2012, e só foi banido de uma. E lembrar: Schumacher só foi desqualificado de SPA em 1994, por causa da prancha de madeira, que só passou a existir após a morte de Senna.
@@l.h.r-gamer8300 Um erro não justifica o outro, mas como eu disse com a Williams FW16B o Senna teria um carro estável nas mãos e com o melhor motor, a pressão no Schumacher seria muito grande, e ele iria cometer erros o que seria normal, 95 Schumacher só ganha o campeonato por o Hill era um piloto fraco, lógico que a Benneton tinha um ótimo carro com um ótimo motor, mas a Williams era muito mais carro e muito mais motor, mas Schumacher era fora de série e Hill era apenas um bom piloto!
@@jogadorcomum3265 em relação ao motor de 1995, ambas usavam o mesmo Renault V10. Concordo que a B194 sofreria pressão do FW16B, mas acho que Schumacher ainda seria campeão em 1994.
Holy moly. If Williams could re-launch a V10 Renault from that era in 2021, does that mean they could re-launch the Espace F1 as well anytime soon 😍 ??
@@danigonzalez4299 you have no idea how much this car made us dream, french car/F1 nerds! Of course they could re-launch these other legends as well, it would make sense. But Renault wants Alpine F1 to win in a near future so re-launching an iconic project from their glorious past with Williams would be a great strategic thing!
Who got goosebumps watching this? 😍
Me🙌
Me!
My 2nd full season of watching F1. What a fantastic season it was and I can just remember the constant dreams of wanting to drive the FW18 as a 9 year old. Williams I owe you a great deal of gratitude for getting me addicted to F1 :)
I got goosebumps. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
All over, Damon living legend ❤
“And I’ve got to stop because I’ve got a lump in my throat” That will never get old😫
I felt the same as i watched it as Murray.
Nice to see this car back on track. Whenever I think about Williams, the Rothmans design is the first picture in my mind.
Same here. My favorite livery of all time.
Count me in.
Tobacco company makes good livery design ngl
I'm more inclined to think of the Canon livery, but this one works nicely too :)
For me, it’s the camel and then rothmans, both were equally beautiful
The 96 season is still one of my favourites, after Damon and Williams's rough 94 & 95 seasons it was an absolute joy to watch.
and then they dumped my hero
@@Kozzzmozzz7And they were never quite the same again.
Mine too and it partly led to Newey leaving. Frank never seemed to learn. He thought ruthlessness was always the right path and learnt the hard way that it isn't always.@@Kozzzmozzz7
Williams FW18 was a great car. Probably the best one of Williams' history. 12 wins and 12 poles, 175 points in 16 races
Happy 25th Anniversary Damon of your Championship Title in 1996.
Front row starts for every race in 1996 for Damon. 9 all Williams front rows in 1996 for the team. 12 wins total, 8 for Damon, 4 for Jacques in his rookie season.

Damon is an awesome nice guy.
Looking for to seeing Villeneuve in a Williams in Montreal, in the future.
As an American, his Indy 500 win and Schumacher punt to win the championship, was memorable.
Former Indy 500 winner, Montoya, also a Williams driver, should have won the F1 championship too.

It's a shame, multi-CART champion, Zanardi, didn't find success at Williams. Loved him as well.
@Mike Jones Wow. Thank you. I had no idea! I absolutely love Zanardi.
Anyone ever noticed that when Damon crosses the line the whole pitlane celebrates him across the line, truly an amazing sporting moment :)
Damon was always my favorite F1 driver but I guess I'm a bit biased. I knew one of the F1 reporters at the time and he was able to get me a autographed picure of Damon. So Cool!
The classic blue n white Rothmans era of Williams is my childhood watching F1.
What a guy! Damon Hill!!!!
If only Formula 1 was as good now as it was back then.
Damon was my first motor racing hero - that blue and white Williams is so iconic. Amazing to see after all these years.
Its nice to see damon Hill in his championship car.
thats the sound i was raised with .... thanks to Dad
Nice !!! I followed his career, a great pilot; big champion.
Well done Damon. So many wonderful memories
Favorite livery of all time
Fantastic to see Damon back behindctge wheel. A great champion and an absolute credit to his country
Fantastic to see Damon in the car which took him to the F1 World Championship in 1996. The car is beautiful and the beautiful V10 sound too. I use to watch him in that car 1996 and it was from a fantastic era. Fantastic memories 🙏😍
Fabulous seeing him driving his championship winning car. It does raise the unavoidable question - would he have won the 1996 title if Schumacher had stayed at Benneton instead of joining Ferrari?
He his just happy with his old F1 car,Thanks for making him happy williams!
Damon Hill, yo era hincha de el en la epoca de los 90 y lo pude ver campeon..sigo siendo hincha sos un grande Damon
Man that car was beauty and so was the Rothmans livery! I mean I do understand why tobacco sponsorship was banned, but man did they provide absolutely the BEST racing liveries of all time!
This one of the highlights of my 2021 British Grand Prix weekend seeing Damon driving around in that wonderful FW18
Whenever I think Williams this is the first thing which hits my mind
Must of been a real feel good moment for Damon. Incredible
As a german motorsport fan....yes...i like it when drivers and mechanics come together for a quickie since he all worked on these icons. thanx....
Beautiful car of Damon Hill
Beautiful machine
Thank you for a great video williams 💙
Hermosos todos los williams desde el FW 11b hasta el williams de 1996
Boa noite !!!!
Cara, que emoção incrível ver o grande Damon Hill novamente no cockpit dessa Willians.
Passa um filme na minha cabeça.
Quantas lembranças e quanta saudade.
Parabéns Campeão !!!!
Obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal.
Abraço do Brasil.........
*everyone liked that*
i still remember watching you racing when i was a kid, thank you so much sir!
pensa num piloto no qual me simpatizei e tem o meu RESPEITO!!!!,DAMOM RILLL!!
Would you look at that beautiful engine! My first full season watching was 1996, so this will always be my favourite car.
90's Formula One lives on!
This is my favourite f1 car of all time. I'm in love 😍
This livery is so beautiful
Holy smokes!!!! the sound of this thing!
Un gran campeón, y para mí, uno de mis pilotos favoritos de la historia
imagine if murry was there and did the commerty again
2:50 Harrison Ford ? 😎
Most probably inspecting where to land his plane
This is my favorite looking car in F1
look at the front wing and aero compared to current cars and it's clear why there was such better racing back then. hopefully the new cars take us back to some of those amazing races.
Awesome video 👍
Bought me back to the years when F1 was F1! Nice to see Hill back in the Williams. Doesn't look the same without the Rothmans branding mind you
Amazing car. Amazing team. Amazing driver. Cant get any better. Much respect to yous for letting this moment happen💙🤍
My champion 💗
I have enjoyed looking back at Damon hill Fw18 hot 🔥 lap of 25th anniversary of 1996 World 🌎 championship for Williams.
Darmon toujours un de mes préférés Marseille France
Iconic. Beautiful car.
Legend

Damon rock and roll toujours un de mes préférés Marseille France
Que bello eran los Williams de esa época por Dios!!! Y qué linda época de la F1...

If only Senna was given a car like this.
That's the sound of my early childhood right there.
I wish Damon stayed in '97 as well, that Rothmans livery was absolutely gorgeous, I was so disappointed to see the Winfield red livery in '98.
Would love to see just the raw, unedited footage from the camera on top of the snorkel. 🥰
Great stuff ❤
i was there at abbey and got a recording but didnt know you guys were filming thats cool :)
amazing memories!
Awesome!!
Williams 💪
One of my favorite Williams cars. In the 3.0L era these cars have the better engines. Didn't rev too high. But the whole car is too good, from design to the classic Rothmans colors.
Such a beautiful car and so good at the time. I wonder how it would compare to current f1 cars
I support you world champion in 1994, its should be you Damon
He's stayed trim. So not a squeeze. 😊
How much better did the cars sound and look back then, I know today's cars are technical wonder's but I would much rather watch and listen to pre v6 hybrid era
I believe this car is for sale right now. What a lovely V10
Sorry it is #6 that is for sale which he won 3 races in 96 with
And everyone liked that.
it's a pity William threw hil at that time
Still the best car that I’ve ever drove through the f1 experience . Awkward though Damon hill first car fitted with a flappy
I'd rather watch these 96 cars race today, than the engineering masterpiece no passion no sound machines of today. The 96 Williams was an amazing car, so it was pretty special to see Damon being out-qualified in the 96 Monaco GP by half a second with a much much worse ferrari.
This livery
AT WILLIAMS RENAULT AT 2023 THE BEST THE TEAM
A great video, and damon is too strong to drive even an F1 😂
I wonder how different his lap times are now compared to 1996 at Silverstone...I know it would probably be slower, but by how much?!
1996 silverstone doesn’t exist anymore, changed about 12 years ago
@@techfin6145 Oh yeah, my bad. Forgot that the track layout evolves over the years😅
Damon, in 2021 you remember so well what happened in 1996? So happy your memory improved compared to 1994 when you remembered nothing about what happened to your car in 1994.
Axeleron007. This film is about the FW18, his 1996 car, NOT the FW16 his 1994 car!!😮
デイモンヒルさんはやっぱりウィリアムズですね！
Я болел за Хилла!!!!
Cheeky Harrison Ford cameo
I also thought that 😂
What a shame it doesn’t say Rothman’s on it. Can’t we get an exemption for friggin’ history!?
厳しく、優しい素敵な顔を見れて嬉しいです。
Senna estaría nesse carro 🥺🇧🇷
It was the biggest mistake that FW kicked out Hill in 1997 and brought Frentzen into the team. Frentzen was the guy ruining team chemistry.
Where’s the hot Lap? I want to see a full lap not chopped up edited crud guys
but they ditch him for Frentzen :(
😃😁
ヒルこんな声だっけ？もっと低い声のイメージだったのに随分高くなってる・・・
94 era pra ser o tetra do Senna, 95 penta, 96 o hexa, depois iria pra Ferrari em 97 e ficaria até 2001 e talvez ganharia mais um título por lá!
