Screenshots of George Harrison and Damon Hill, This Is Your Life: Damon Hill, aired on 11 January 1999.Terry Wogan: “Let’s go back to the Eighties, when you [Damon Hill] were short of money and struggling to get your career going. One of your biggest supporters was like you a bit of a guitarist, more a rock legend really — and he’s here: George Harrison. […]George Harrison: “He comes from a good family, I think Betty and Graham have a lot to do with it, and it shows in Damon — he’s just a nice fella. And a good driver.” - This Is Your Life: Damon Hill“Looking back on it now I am kind of horrified that I had the nerve to do it, but I was in my early twenties and desperate to become a racing driver, and I knew that George liked motor racing, so I wrote to him to see if he could help. And he was interested. ‘Look, I want to help,‘ he said, ‘because I really liked your dad.‘ So from that point onwards I had a Beatle sponsor in the background. I really was shocked that he actually said that he would help. But he helped lots of people in different ways that you never get to hear about, so I didn’t like to talk about it. I felt really grateful to George for helping me out at a time when I really needed a leg up.” - Damon Hill, Living In The Material World“He got some people to chant for me in India, and then he sent me a video; I’ve got a video of them chanting. And — and a little box with all these sort of burn offerings and stuff. And all the Harrisons were sort of rooting for me.” - Damon Hill, Living In The Material World bonus features (x) -- source link
