Graham Hill looks just like Dick Dastardly from the Wacky Races! 🏎
No overbearing music, no unnecessary voice-overs and no flipping drone shots! What joy.
Here we are over 50 years later still watching this as it's incredibly interesting without drama and straight to the point. Graham was iconic, sadly he died just 3 years after this was filmed.
The F1 british team in the 70s: bunch of friends building a car in some workshop, adding a Cossie DFV and managing the F1 races with ca 10 people total. "Thats a BIG business indeed!"
In the past we could watch programs like this, now we have 'Love Island' and other quality shows like that. 😞
At Stirling Moss’s memorial, Sir Jackie Stewart said we’d never celebrated the life of any sportsman in that way. Had Graham Hill lived, we probably would have. Look at the other clips of him on UA-cam- charming, funny and of course fast. I remember him doing road safety when I was a kid and I also remember his plane crash and how sad it made us.
"I figure £80-90,000." That'll get you a steering wheel today. Man I miss "the good old days".
What a man Graham Hill was, smooth, charming, talented, brave; he also managed to replicate all of those qualities in Damon Hill (chip off the old block)
Back in the day when F1 drivers had personality, character and charm, and were not just corporate robots all living in Monaco and going to the gym. If one is going to be driving a race car one must wear a decent tie.
I had the privilege as a kid with my brother to see and touch Graham & Jochen's Gold Leaf Lotus cars at a workshop and then see them at the Teretonga circuit (NZ)
Sitting in the bar:
What a Legend! I remember being 14 years old and very much into Grand Prix and loved the look of his car. It was tragic the way he died, I’m sure with his experience and skill he could have made an impact with this team, it’s fascinating to see how small a set up it was, meetings at the pub, putting his overalls over trousers shirt and tie it was simply a project of love! Great days of F1!
The first time I encountered Graham Hill was at the Questor Grand Prix at Ontario Motor Speedway in 1971. I was taken aback when he walked into the loo.
What an absolute legend. And a shout out to Old Woking !!
This is Gold, thanks BBC for sharing this. Amazing to see "new" footage of Graham and his Embassy Hill team
The big tie under the overalls !!! 😍
This video is so awesome. I wish I could've experienced F1 back then as a fan. The 1970s was an awesome era and like the wild west of F1 when it came to car designs. No computers, all mechanical, with a gear shift lever. Teams could do whatever. The drivers were also legendary. I remember seeing the Tyrrell P34 6 wheeled F1 race car from 1975-76. Then I saw Brabham had the "fan" car design and was super fast because of the insane down force it created in 1978. Having the chance to see both those cars in person really put into perspective how crazy F1 teams were back then and would do anything to win.

That was brilliant. Really enjoyed that. Building race cars in sheds, how it should be done.
Graham Hill was so great. That car is a customised Shadow DN1. See it in black UOP livery elsewhere.
