I knew he was sick but didn't expect this. A fine man. Some of his best drives were post F1 in the Chapparal cars. I enjoyed watching him.
RIP

A sad day for American racing. The first American WC, he was probably better suited to sportscars. I am especially impressed with his 1961 season: Sebring and LeMans wins in sportscars, plus the F1 World Championship for Ferrari. This is one record which will endure.

Never met him and was too young to see him race. Yet as a motorsport fan, I feel a sense of loss that I can't seem to explain.
We've lost a legend from a bygone era when surviving such a storied career was an accomplishment itself. A true champion.
RIP Phil Hill.

A true world champion and a gentleman in the days when one paid for mistakes with life and limb, and did not spend their time seeking a live microphone to talk about how great they are.
