Norman Graham Hill was a British racing driver and team owner, who was the Formula One World Champion twice, winning in 1962 and 1968 as well as being runner up on three occasions. Despite not passing his driving test until 1953 when he was already 24 years of age, and only entering the world of motor racing a year later in 1954, Hill would go on to become one of the greatest drivers of his generation. Perhaps the greatest achievement of his career was becoming the first driver to win the Triple Crown of Motorsport, an achievement which was defined as winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Indianapolis 500, and the Formula One World Drivers' Championship. While several of his peers have also espoused this definition, including fellow F1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve, the achievement has instead been defined as including the Monaco Grand Prix rather than the Formula One World Championship. By this newer definition, Hill is still the only driver to have ever won the Triple Crown of Motorsport, winning at Monaco in such frequency in the 1960s that he became known as "Mr. Monaco". Wins in the most prestigious races of all three of the major disciplines of motor racing cemented Hill's position as one of the most complete drivers in the history of the sport. Hill was also frequently seen on television screens in the 1970s in a non-sporting capacity, appearing on a variety of programmes including panel games.
