Damon Hill played guitar… on Def Leppard’s Euphoria track on Euphoria! 🤯
I had to check it was the same Damon! And it’s not his only musical credit.

“Music career
Hill was interested in music from an early age and formed the punk band the "Hormones" with some friends while at school. After achieving success in Formula One, he was able to play guitar with several famous musicians, including his friend George Harrison, and appeared on "Demolition Man", the opening track of Def Leppard's 1999 album Euphoria. "I'm quite proud of that one to be honest", Hill told the Fuelling Around podcast. "You can actually hear my guitar as they fade it out towards the end of the song. I think it fits well with the track and it went platinum!"[107]
Hill also made a regular appearance at the British Grand Prix alongside other Formula One musicians such as Eddie Jordan. After his retirement at the end of the 1999 season, Hill devoted more time to music and played with Pat Cash's Wild Colonial Boys.[108] Hill also formed his own band, The Conrods, which was active between 1999 and 2003 and played cover versions of well-known songs from The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and The Kinks. Since becoming president of the BRDC in 2006, Hill says he has stopped playing the guitar, being "too busy doing school runs and looking after pets."[109]”

Damon Hill speaks on the attitude of Red Bull and Max Verstappen:

“But I’m not anti-Max. This is the point. I think Max is brilliant. I like him. I mean what’s not to like? He’s sensational. But when I felt he overstepped the mark, I said so. And I think Red Bull have a responsibility, their team management has a responsibility to the sport you know?"

Do you think Max Verstappen has too much freedom at Red Bull?🤔

"Het is mogelijk om eerlijk te racen, maar dat lijkt niet in zijn filosofie te passen. Zijn instelling is simpelweg dat niemand hem mag passeren", zo luidt de kritiek van #DamonHill op Max Verstappen, na de Grand Prix van Mexico 👀. #F1 https://www.formule1.nl/nieuws/damon-hill-uit-harde-kritiek-verstappen-niet-in-staat-om-eerlijk-te-racen/
