Former F1 driver Damon Hill is known for his active presence on social media, frequently sharing insights and comments on the current Formula 1 season and its drivers. Recently, he reshared a post from Elon Musk about Donald Trump. In the post, Trump requested Musk to prepare rocket ships to lead the space force against Russia and China.
Damon Hill shifted from discussing Formula 1 to commenting on former US President Trump. His remark about Trump being a Martian was a sarcastic response to a recent post from Musk. Hill deemed Trump’s request bold and outlandish. The world champion exaggerated, suggesting the 78-year-old’s request was so absurd it could only be seen from an alien’s perspective.
Its an outlandish conspiracy theory that cannot be verified so counts as good as truth in these deranged times but here it is anyway. Trump is a Martian and needs Musk to get him home. Like ET, only more sinister.Damon Hill said

Hill’s comment about Trump was a reference to the film ‘E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,’ in which a boy named Elliott befriends E.T. and helps him evade government agents. Hill positioned Musk as Elliott, the helper, and Trump as the alien in need of assistance to return home.
Damon Hill sarcatically apologizes following Gunther Steiner’s response to FIA’s request against swearing
Former F1 champion Damon Hill apologized for his response to Gunther Steiner‘s criticism of the FIA’s request for drivers to avoid swearing. He emphasized the importance of genuine emotions in racing and press conferences over political correctness. Hill reshared Steiner’s words and jokingly apologized to the FIA using a nervous face emoji.
We apologise if any of you were offended by the strong language used in that last post.Damon Hill stated
The swearing drama began at Thursday’s official press conference when Max Verstappen declared his car was “f***.” He received a penalty for this, which he found childish. Verstappen expressed frustration, arguing that penalizing someone for swearing was excessive. This FIA rule faced disagreement from several figures, including Hill and Steiner.
