He started off as an MG salesman.[4] He took up racing motorbikes and then in 1930 started car racing with a Riley.[5] Races
DeathHamilton was racing an MG Midget in the 1933 Masaryk Grand Prix when he crashed after his waterproof cape blew over his eyes.[1] He seemed to have fully recovered from the three broken ribs and internal injuries that he sustained, which led to his taking up racing again the following year. In the 1934 Swiss Grand Prix, Hamilton, driving a Maserati 8CM, crashed into a fir tree after his front left tyre failed at 150 km/h around 1500 meters from the finishing point.[1] Two spectators were hurt in the crash.[1] A post mortem revealed that his heart stopped before the crash, which led to the feeling that his heart stopping was the result of his crash in 1933.[7] Hamilton's funeral was arranged by the British consul and Dick Seaman, and was held in Bern.[1][7] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web | url=http://www.motorsportmemorial.org/focus.php?db=ct&n=304 | title=Hugh Hamilton | work=Motorsport Memorial | accessdate=28 October 2013}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Hamilton, Hugh}}2. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/gp345.htm#31 1934 Grand Prix | title=I PRIX DE BERNE | work=Kolumbus | accessdate=16 June 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web | url=http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,782811,00.html | title=The master race | work=The Observer | date=1 September 2002 | accessdate=16 June 2013}} 4. ^1 {{cite web | url= http://www.carkeys.co.uk/features/amazing-hugh-hamilton | title=The Amazing Hugh Hamilton | work=Carkeys | date=18 June 2008 | accessdate=16 June 2013 | author=Finlay, David}} 5. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/dh.htm#HAM | title=Hugh Caulfield Hamilton (GB) | work=Kolumbus | accessdate=16 June 2013}} 6. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/results/Hugh-Hamilton-GB.html | title=All Results of Hugh Hamilton | work=Racing Sports Cars | accessdate=28 October 2013}} 7. ^1 {{cite web | url=https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/15548529 | title=Hugh Hamilton | work=Find a grave | accessdate=16 June 2013}} 3 : British racing drivers|1934 deaths|1905 births |
