FEATURE: Marking the 60th anniversary of F1 great Mike Hawthorn's death

Sport In Focus with Tim Durrans

Available for over a year

It was sixty years ago today that the first British winner of Formula One racing was killed on the Guildford Bypass. The Charismatic and debonair Mike Hawthorn, who had lived in Farnham, was known for wearing a bow-tie during races, and just months before his death at the age of just 29 he had pipped fellow briton Stirling Moss to the World title. Our reporter Adrian Harms went down to a farm in Surrey where a private museum has been created in his honour.
