F1 Interest - Silver plated trophy awarded for Damon Hill's second place position in the 1997 Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix, mounted on a circular wooden base plaque inscribed 'Marlboro Magyar Nadydij Budapest 1997 2nd Position', 50cm high (overall), together with a signed photograph of Damon Hill (19cm x 28.5cm), three passes for the 1997 Monaco Grand Prix, various photographs, a quantity of slides to include some of Damon Hill and newspaper article photocopies
Purchased by a family member of the present vendor at the Wyles Hardy & Co. TWR Collection of Historic Racing Sports Cars and Memorabilia auction, Saturday 5th July 2003
The 1997 Hungarian Grand Prix was an F1 motor race held at Hungaroring, Hungary on 10th August 1997.
The race contested over 77 laps, was the eleventh race of the 1997 F1 season and was won by Jacques Villeneuve (Canadian), driving a Williams-Renault, with Damon Hill (Great Britain) second in an Arrows-Yamaha and Johnny Herbert (Great Britain) third in a Sauber-Petronas.
Defending World Champion Damon Hill, who had been having a poor year in the uncompetitive and unreliable Arrows, had led comfortably for most of the race, after qualifying third behind championship challengers Michael Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve. However, a hydraulic failure resulted in Villeneuve passing him on the final lap. It was to be the closest the Arrows team ever came to a Grand Prix victory and would turn out to be their final podium finish.
