Phil Hill, the only American to have ever won the Formula One Driving Championship, among other accomplishments, passed away early this morning due to complications with Parkinson's disease.
Phil Hill won the F1 Championship in 1961 with Team Ferrari, he was also the first American to win the 24 Hours of LeMans, a title he took home twice, and won the 12-hours of Sebring three times and countless other races.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family, and friends.
