This picture depicts the action at the 1996 San Marino Grand Prix when Damon kept ahead of Michael Schumacher. A brilliant race strategy by Williams eventually gave him the race by some 16 seconds from Schumacher. Damon Hill went on to win the championship following in Nigel Mansell's shoes as the hero of British racing fans.
