The piece opens with a reflection on Graham Hill and the concerns around his decision to continue racing into the 1973 season.

It notes Hill had proved himself time and time again to be a very quick driver who could get the job done. Back in 1962 he had emerged as Jim Clark’s strongest rival and won that year’s World Championship.

Poignantly, the feature recalls he did it again in 1968, carrying the shattered Lotus team on his shoulders after the Scot’s death that April.

The article is presented alongside related Formula 1 coverage, including analysis of Norris at McLaren, tyre strategy options for the United States GP, Sainz’s assessment after a Williams struggle in the US, and a feature on Freddie Hunt and his father James’ ‘incredible’ 1976 title.
