While going through Road & Track's 50th Anniversary edition (June 1997), I came across the review of a book called ‘Damon Hill – World Champion’ by D. Tremayne. I was quite surprised to read the following: “Occasionally there are fascinating insights, such as his being sent off to California to live with our own Contributing Editor, Phil Hill, after the death of his father...”.

I’m assuming that they are talking about THE Phil Hill, GP Driver and 1961 WDC, since Phil did occasionally contribute to this magazine. How is Damon (or Graham) related to Phil? I always thought that they were unrelated, and that their last names were just a coincidence…

They're not related, but I've heard that their families were close. Almost like a godfather/godson relationship for Phil Hill and Damon Hill...but that is speculation, I'm not sure.
