While Phil Hill wasn't the only American to win the F1 title (Mario won it in 1978) he was the first American born to win the title along with the first American to win an F1 race. He was also the first American to win at the 24hrs of Le Mans. Sad to see him pass as he was an idol of mine when I first started racing.
