Damon Hill has announced he is leaving his role as a Formula One pundit for Sky Sports after a ‘fantastic’ 13 years with the broadcaster.
Hill, who won his first and only championship as a driver in 1996, was one of the first faces on the channel since gaining the rights to broadcast F1 in 2012, but has now announced his exit on social media.
“It’s been a fantastic 13 years with Sky Sports F1 but all good things come to an end,” Hill, 64, wrote.
“I will miss the most impressive bunch of professionals it has ever been my pleasure to have worked with. Looking forward to new challenges.”
Hill was one of three former champions on Sky Sports’ rolling punditry roster alongside Jenson Button and Nico Rosberg and was part of their team operating at the last race in Brazil. Former drivers Martin Brundle, Anthony Davidson and Karun Chandhok also appear on the team.
It is unclear whether the race at Interlagos was Hill’s final race or whether he will feature in any of the final three races of the season.
Hill is the son of two-time F1 world champion Graham, and followed in his father’s footsteps by claiming one of his own in 1996 when driving for Williams, beating teammate Jacques Villeneuve to the title. He won 22 races throughout his career before retiring in 1999.
