What was the first Formula One car that Damon Hill drove?
It was a Brabham, wasn't it? Or he may have tested a Williams before that. I'm too young for that, though. >.>
I was going to say Brabham but i expect it'd set the buzzer off QI style...

Correct the first F1 car he drove was as a test pilot for Williams in '91 then mid '92 got a full ride with Brabham who were struggling.

Are you sure about that because in '88 Alessandro Nannini and Thierry Boutsen were the drivers and the test drivers were Johnny Dumfries and Gary Brabham. I can go pullout the entire '88 season that I have on tape aswell to verify. I also find nothing in Damons history about even filling in for one race in '88 or as test driver.

This thread has no order. People, stop giving wrong answers then asking new ones in the same post. Let's discuss them one at a time. Now what is that pig?

The Lamborghini V12. Senna had nothing but praise for it and wanted the engine and mentioned the unrealized potential of the engine but Ron secured the deal with Peaugot and the rest is history.

To keep things tidy so we can all keep track, how about we put all new questions in bold?
