Career

Hailwood won nine motorcycle world championships between 1961 and 1967. He also won 76 Grand Prix and 14 Isle of Man TT victories. He won his first four championships on the dominant MV Agusta. In 1966, he switched to Honda. Honda had the most powerful engines at the time, but were known as difficult to ride because of their weak chassis. Hailwood's great skill overcame the disadvantages however, to continue recording world championships until 1967. Honda pulled out of top level motor racing in 1968, but continued to pay Hailwood with the expectation of returning. Hailwood never returned to full-time motorcycle racing.

In the 1973 South African Grand Prix, Hailwood stopped his car on the circuit to pull Regazzoni from his burning car after an accident, an act for which he was awarded the George Medal that year (as was David Purley for an equally heroic, but unsuccesful, attempt to rescue Roger Williamson).
