Today it's exactly nineteen years since Damon Hill almost won the Hungarian Grand Prix in 1997.
The Briton, reigning world champion, was racing for minnows Arrows after being dropped by Williams, despite winning the title.
At the Hungaroring he was leading until the closing stages of the race when former team mate Jacques Villeneuve passed him for the win
