The year of 1996 was the year that came good for Daemon Hill. For the previous two years he had been a runner up to Schumacher, but he had just moved to Ferrari and the car there was new.

In the team with him was Villeneuve, a rookie in formula 1, but a champion already in Indy car and hungry for wins in his new sport. Both of them had had their fathers race in the sport, and they were always being compared to them.

Williams has written a fairly good account of that season, it's ups and downs, the intrigue and the drama, the technology and the battle for the championship that finally went Hills way.

Not a bad read of a season to remember. ( )
