1996 F1 world chaꦗmpion Damon Hill has annou𒁏nced his departure from Sky Sports.

Hill has been a key part of the punditry team at Sky since they secured the Fꦿ1 rights in 2012.

It seems that the 2024 Sao Paulo Grand Prix was his final appea💦rance for Sky.

He to🥂ok to his X account to announce the news: “It’s been a fantastic 13 years with Sky Sports F1 but all 🎃good things come to an end.

“I will miss the most impressive bunch of professiܫonals it has ever been my pleasure to have worked with. Looking forward to new chall🦩enges.”

Hill becomes the latest departure from the Sky punditry team, following fellow ex-British driꦛvers Johnny Herbert and Paul di Resta in recent years.

Jenson Button and Martin Brundle remain part of the team alongside the likes of N🐭aomi Schiff, Danica Patrick, Karun Chandhok and Bernie Collins.

Hill had been v𓃲ocal in recent weeks in his criti🥃cism against Max Verstappen.

The former Williams driver was critical of Verstappen’s driving in Mexico, stating: “Yes, I do. I think he's using fear and intimidation. As he says, he knows what he's doing but is ♛it right? And is it fair?. Wඣe shouldn't be condoning driving cars off the track.”

Hill dismissed 🉐having a “vendetta” against Verstappen.

“When he makes a point about individuals♔, it's not individuals,” he added. “It's almost universal disapproval. That's the point.

“It's not a vendetta against Max, it's simply the people wℱho watch the raci𒀰ng want it to be conducted in a reasonable and fair way.”
