Lapped Hill Holds Up Schumacher and Lets Frentzen Through

- Poor sportsmanship from Hill as he holds up Schumacher not for position but being lapped in a desperate attempt to hand the title to his old team Williams at the conclusion of the 1997 season.
I think Hill acted this way in order to take some kind of revenge on Schumacher rather than helping a team that dumped him a year earlier.
Yeah and he threw the 1995 title away because of it as well. Schumi always lived rent free in Hill's head. Hill was the first one to initiate a crash between each other btw. Back in 1993. Even before a title fight.
arrows were 6 seconds off the pace in the first race, and by the end of the season were capable of finishing in the top 6. Quite a turn around
Tom Walkinshaw at the helm, so I would hate to think what they would find if they really investigated the car. Walkinshaw would have had Lawyers on the spot threatening to sue the FIA if they touched the car, that's how he rolled.
You don't go from midfielder to beating the 1997 Williams and Ferrari in a half year without a few "tickles" here and there.
a lot of it was down to tyre problems
Imagine the hatred if it was the other way around. And the crying of the British commentators.
....Schumacher got his just deserts for his awful driving. The British media didn't have to do anything
@@zimbabwedarts "his awful driving" - hm?
@@maverick8697 yep. Cheating on 94, cheating in 97, ramming Frentzen off the track in Can 98. Not to mention all his other cheating in 94. He was a disgrace
@@maverick8697 SCHUMACHER crashed in the track walls in Australia in 1994, purely his error, he was leading 10 seconds. He was leading the race, while Damon is chasing him. Upon the next corner he blocked Damon's car, causing them to crash, both of them DNF; the only difference, is that by that race's end, Schumacher is world champion. He deliberately crashed Damon Hill to ensure that Damon Hill won't win, so that Schumacher himself will be the world champion. If SCHUMACHER didn't crashed into Damon, Damon would win the race, and he'll be world champion. Learn history first before judging.
@@aaronwestley3239 Poor, petty Hill, robbed by Schumacher. Any proof about Schumacher deliberately crashing into Hill?
From a purely neutral point of view here, why wasn't Damon given blue flags to force him to let Schumacher through? From a purely personal point of view, there will never be anyone to replace the enthusiasm on the mic when it was Murray Walker holding it.
Was my thoughts too oO Imo this was clear a situation for the blue flag. I remember this race a bit but i was damn young at this time.
I think this is the incident that led to the blue flags being made mandatory in 1998
@@Adam-pu6jg The blue flag rule definitely existed long before this race. At least 1993 Australia.
Even if you conclude the 94 Adelaide incident was Schumacher’s fault, Hill more than got his own back at Silverstone the following year. This just tops it. The British media sadly were quiet on the latter two incidents and only focus on the 1994 one…
Don't forget that Hill already crashed into Schumacher before 1994, back in 1993. Yet Michael was painted as the bad guy, when it was Hill who kept having grudges against him since before they even fought for a title. 1994 Adelaide wasn't even Michael's fault either. Clear divebomb from Hill.
The awful truth is that Hill was a bad wheel to wheel racer. He proved that one final time with his constant crashes in 1999.
Almost forgot to watch this today.
that rivalry made F1 so good. Always something to argue about
With Schumacher there are always a lot of things to argue about
Damon may have been deliberately holding up his then-arch nemesis, but there is no way he was trying to do Williams a favour. Why? Because thanks to them, he was sitting in an Arrows.
thanks to them he was world champion and not someone like Pedro Diniz
May have? What is your Iq?
Higher than your ability to apply fundamental context to a sentence. 👍
Love murrays attempt at a German accent. Lol
Everyone complains about Schumachers unfairness. Well, this is just an example of how other drivers aren't much better then him. Seems to me as those complaining is motivated by envy.

Hahaha well done Damon, revenge is so sweet and he held Frentzen up for no time whatsoever. Those days were far better than now, they at least raced unlike now.
He had revenge Monza 1995 and Silverstone 95
schumacher still won the race. cry more loser

@@AnthonyWebber-fe1eu yep, and he lost another world championship in doing so ;)
@@Sunotmy was he your boyfriend, sweetheart
lol if anyone knows the history behind these two you will know full well why he held him up.
I would do the same too!
MrAckers75 Schumacher was very ruthless yes, and took it too far a couple of times fighting for his own titles. But he was never childish or stupid enough to interfere with somebody elses championship like hill was doing here.
Yeah because you're also a piece of shit like Hill
Rossi the Bossi so crashing into some one to get the title is fine but blocking some one is much worse
@ Track Talk Ehm, I suggest you go look back 2012 Brazil when Alonso and Vettel were fighting for the championship. When it came to Alonso, Schumi didnt just let him pass, but when Vettel came from behind, he happily gave way for his countryman.....
Also Schumi did much worse than Hill ever did, so we can just end this discussion right there.
Indeed...
people act like damon deserved to be in the title fight in 1994 and he was robbed by Schumacher, in reality he needed his teammate to die then the FIA to ban Schumacher for multiple races for something very small specifically to allow him to catch up
Hill deserved to be taken out of that race and people should feel sorry for Schumacher because the FIA forced him to win the title that way instead of by 20pts+
Hill won every race Michael was deservedly banned from in that Williams deathtrap except for the one where the Japanese lad ran into the Englishman. he beat Coulthard as soundly as Schumie beat much the less talented Jos aka maxpoppa. Hill was careful and got points in the car until the upgrade. it didn't hurt Hill that Benetton didn't care about the second driver or they would have kept Brundle until Alesi and his big Austrian friend came along in 1996. Schumachers ban coincided nicely with Hill not really having a car for 5 races.
@@adampetten5349 lol you are the type of person I was referring to, you even act like the Williams was not the best car in 1994
it didn't hurt hill that Benetton didn't care about the second driver, lol of course it didn't hurt hill, im going to put that on the list of things that helped hill in 1994
*best car
*teammate dying
*over the hill and rookie replacement teammates
*Schumacher banned for tiny violation, if it happened today it wouldn't even be a stop go
*Benetton not caring about 2nd car so hill didn't have another car to worry about
@@MrRodzilla Teammate dying would put dual pressure on a man groomed to be elite second driver to legends. One: knowing car is unsafe; but also whispers in his own mind that he is not his father's son. Mansell was still a powerful driver. Jos Verstappen eventually became mediocre but was terrible in 1994. Tiny Violation?🤣😂🤣😂
Only to Kool Aid drinkers. Hill still beat drivers like Alesi and Berger to Win races when Schumacher was banned. Katayama helped Michael with his own incompetence.
Schumi banned 3 races and stil won that counts
i love Schumacher but he has many times been an assh towards Hill and they had quite a history togheter with crashes and provocations ... so its no surprise that Hill did what he did . i would have done it too
Jean .valjean I'd have taken the fucker out and ruined his championship. Just to see how he likes it.
Schuhmacher crashed into Hill once of where you could argue that it was on purpose. Hill has fucked him over like three times after that as a revenge.
Chris Purolover he cost him the championship that one crash was worth a million fuck overs imo
Hill is a bitter loser, nothing else.
Michael became a victim of the british media that really chased him everywhere and dented his image as much as they can, and all of this happened bcoz of his dominance over damon at that time and even ever after against mostly britsh teams, it became evident that Michael is more like having a phobia from the brits and being around them, as he never accepted to drive for a british teams after benetton. he is human and he has intellect as much as everyone of us, his reaction to the F1 british media is the only way this could fold out.
Schumacher got schumachered by Hill. haha
Reading all the comments below, I must be the only person who likes and rates both Schumacher and Hill.
Schumicheater
@@azeitonavelha8374 no seven times world champion. :)
94 was a race incident, Hill tried to pass him from the inside, he gave schumacher no space , that was ruled out as racing incident....Schumacher was disqualified in 97 i guess
haha i love that even 13 years on, people still cry about it. it happened, leave it at that and enjoy the moment.
Surprising after the way williams treated Damon Hill I would of thought he would of held up Frentzen.
I don't think Hill really had any ill feelings towards Williams, Michael on the other hand
I think any Ill feeling towards Williams is dwarfed by his feelings for Michael.
Damon had no ill will towards Heinz-Harald, that must've overcome any anti-Williams feelings.... anything to stick it to Schumacher, lol
When it comes to Shumi, most drivers had more reason to want to fuck with him than anyone else on the grid.
Schumi was a legend but he wasn't above cheating to win. That's the one thing that I give Max over Schumi, Max doesnt care if he crashes but he doesnt just whack into people on purpose.
Would HAVE
Wrong dude. Schumacher wasn't DQ'd and he did win the championship. It was the end of 94 season.
As for this video, Hill had no place getting involved with this and should have just moved out of the way.
Was a little bit funny though knowing the history between them. :D
Bit of a dick move from Hill, but utterly fair considering what Schumi did to him in 94. Met Hill a couple of months ago, and he is a supremely nice bloke.
maybe that's why he couldn't drive?
@@numsig Hungary 1997 says otherwise.
Hill is a complete trash and disappointment compared to Schumacher. Schumacher is a 7 world champion.
@@justrandomguy1288 Hill should be a 2 time world chamption if Shumi hadn't rammed him off the track. So that would be Hill 2 time & Shumi 6 time.
No one is disputing that Schumacher is a better driver, but that doesn't mean Hill isn't a great one, its just Schumacher was exceptional.
Honestly if you think Hill can't drive, watch Hungary 1997.
@@ceirwan Hill would have been undeserved champion 1994. Schumacher was light years better that season. He got disqualified for 3 races, the reasons were absolutely ridiculous. And of course Hill won all of them. Without that, the season would have been a piece of cake for schumacher

Some lovely comments, thanks everyone!
Just desserts!
@Westwoooooooood Maybe in adelaide... But in italy and silverstone in 1995 hits him for frustation... Damon was a good driver, but not enough to be competetitive with schumi
@blainyrules but if he was a brit you would love him with all your heart
Love it.
Where were the blue flags? Seeing as Hill held up Schumacher for an entire lap, that should've at least been some form of penalty.
Back then drives didn't have to dive out of the way when they were being lapped. It was the responsibility of the driver lapping to get past. Drivers are spoiled these days, lapping used to be an art now it's just blue flags and get off the road.
And this was the man criticising Max Verstappens driving in 2021, talking about driving standards 😂😂😂
@sean19922k7 Schumacher's first GP win in Belgium had nothing to do with Hill. He was testing for Williams in '92, and wasn't even racing that day Schumacher won.
Never liked Hill because of stuff like this and his moaning. All Schumacher haters/Hill lovers say that Schumacher doesn't deserve the 1994 title because of the incident in Adelaide, but let's not forget that Schumacher didn't participate in 2 races (Hill was one of the people moaning about the Benetton and stuff if I'm correct) and got disqualified in another 2 races (which were justified in my opinion, the one in Great Britain is still debatable) and Hill still couldn't manage to get in front of him by the end of the season. Looks clear to me who is the deserved '94 champ is... in 1995 Hill just got outclassed by Schumacher and decided to work out his frustration on Schumacher's rear wing in Britain and Italy (both of them were clearly his fault). Finally got a title in 1996 because Schumacher was brave enough to move teams, putting Hill in a dominant car which resulted in him having his unexperienced rookie teammate Villeneuve as his only championship rival. After that he only got in the news again because of a lucky win in Spa '98, which can happen ofc, and stupid things like this. You won't hear me say that he's a bad driver but I don't think he's a worthy champion.
@ haters: please keep it nice. I may be a Schumacher fan I'll admit but I still think that what I said here is mostly correct, although I can understand if you disagree on my last statement :p
Let's not forget that there were illegal electronics on Schumacher's Benetton, so he should be disqualified just for that anyway.
Hill at least have won his championship in absolutely equal competition with Villeneuve, whereas Shumacher's teammates was never in equal conditions with him.
Groovistico Alex I'll give you that. But Hill still isn't a worthy champion imo.
And Schumacher's teammates weren't exactly of the same level as he was, right? Irvine, Verstappen, Barrichello, Massa were good drivers but they don't compare to Schumacher. All these talks about how Schumacher had a better car than his teammate are bs, just like the 'rumours' about Vettel having a better car than Webber these past 4 years.
SAMENKATO x
To be honest, I don’t care at all about anybody’s opinions and I don’t expect anybody to care about mine. Opinions don’t mean anything, facts do.
And the facts are Hill haven’t had preferences, Schumacher had a team built around him, Hill has nearly won a race (and came second) even in one of the worst cars in the DRY, Schumacher even failed to win a normal race even in Rory Byrne constructed car in 2005, let alone to win in Mercedes (which was still not as bad as Arrows) at all. So what is so wrong with Hill? If he is not a worthy champion, than most of the champions are not worthy. Schumacher especially.
The people, who talk about Hill’s great car, forget the fact that after active suspensions and traction controls era, Rory Byrn’s cars have won seven constructors championships until his retirement, and Adrian Newey’s cars have just won four in that same period. So I wouldn’t even start to talk about other drivers good cars, if I was a Schumacher fan.
Groovistico Alex What you just said aren't facts, but opinions. Schumacher was incredibly talented and so is Vettel. The 2005 Ferrari was just s**t, how else would you explain that Schumacher did so well a year later? Calling Schumacher an unworthy champion is just ridiculous...
You believe the car is more important than the driver, I presume? I believe it's the exact opposite. Schumacher was a champion and he got a very good car, Vettel is a champion and he got a very good car, and the same goes for Alonso, Raikkonen, Senna, it's a long list. Hill got a very good car and he could not win the title except for 1996. In 1994 and 1995 he was s**t, while the Williams was very good. And 1999 is perhaps the best example: Jordan was capable of getting podiums and even race wins, but Hill f**ked up badly that season.
Agreed: Schumacher didn't do fantastic at Mercedes, but would you really expect someone with the 4th best car of the field to go ahead and get podiums? I know I don't. The 2010 Merc wasn't good and the 2011 Merc was absolute s**t. What matters is that he did have some great races, while Hill didn't in his final season. Canada 2011 was one of the best races I've ever seen from Schumacher. He took that shitty Mercedes car, was clearly the fastest, took it to 2nd place and eventually finished 4th because the track became dry, causing him to lose the advantage he had. In 2012 he was very unlucky. I don't know if you watched that season, but the Merc was a good car in the 1st few races... and it became s**t afterwards. During those first few races, Schumacher was incredibly unlucky, just check the race reports. And he still managed to get a podium, at age 43. Hill couldn't do that in a better car at age 39...
SAMENKATO x
Aaaaah.... I know, I know... When Schumacher doesn't win, than his car is bad, when Hill doesn't win, he is shit. And if he wins on shitcar, than its luck))))
So '94 Williams was a very good car?.. Try not to lie at least to yourself.
Good work Damon, he must have been the only person to give Michael a taste of his own medicine.
You don't have a clue, knucklehead.
That Williams is one of the most dominant cars ever and the arrows wasnt that bad.
would michael have done the same to damon? we will never know because michael never was in a poor situation like damon in this case :D
Dirty german 94,97
Remember Villeneuve , 1997
@JONICRACHATLEITAO I agree about 97 after seeing it again that Shumacher was to blame. As for 94 when Shumacher became champion for the first time I still don't agree that Shumacher was totally to blame, he went off the road and damaged his car then came back on track, Shumacher then had to take the corner, if only Hill had waited a few more corners then Hill would have won.
He was like "get him bro"
Not nearly as unsportsmanlike as what Schumi pulled the next race at Jerez

"Benetton told the race officials that there had been a misunderstanding over the 5-second stop-go penalty, and after discussing the issue with the team the officials withdrew the black flag and Schumacher finally served the stop-go penalty at the end of lap 27."
@terga1 Oh right so if Senna rams someone of the road to win the championship its not cheating because he said so before hand but if schumi does it its cheating. Thank you for proving the point that people are just butthurt of Schumi destroying every record there is in F1.
You just made my point.
You called it a racing accident , when the whole premise of revenge is that Schumacher rammed Hill deliberately. This premise is based in great part on Schumacher's history of collisions , when I pointed out that Hill has an equally long list of collisions , which is convienently forgotten in the rush to paint Hill as a hero and Schumacher the villan
Apart from Hill doesn't deliberately try and ram people of the road by cheating, twice in title decider Schumacher done that, weights in his helmet in qualifying, many things that cheat has done
95% of the time, Hill was always a great sportsman. He just wanted to show Schumacher how other drivers felt when he pulled all his dirty tricks. He did the same at Montreal 98. Doesn't change the fact what Hill did was bad, but he had a point ;)
I didn't see this race. loved the video. exactly what Schumacher deserved.
Hill is dirty and not so skillful driver. MOnza, and Silverstone in 95 and Adelaide 94. Even with a damage car, Hill with that louge on Schumacher he would hit him.
Hill would've loved that . Frentzen hit like I'm sure
Scuhmi didn't cheat his way to the 94 title. He was leading by 40 points before he was unfairly banned for 3 races. I don't care what anyone says the stewards were against Schumacher in 94 and Schumi should have won by absolute miles. Hill can keep on crying about adelaide 94 if he wants, but the fact is Schumi was better that year..
Mark FormulaRacer Schumacher overtook on the formation lap, ignored the penalty calls and the continued whilst being black flag. He deserved it.
so overtaking on formation lap will get you disqualified for 3 races? That shit was just done to make the 1994 season more exciting.
@Alen 542 go watch the Video "Michael Schumacher Driving Style" on youtube. It explains why Michael was so great and why he didnt use TC.
Illegal fuel rigs, traction control, ramming into other cars, no cheating there.
Two words: Flavio Briatore. There's no way he wouldn't resort to cheating if his team stood a chance of a title. Although he may have simply been disillusioned, Aryton Senna was also convinced that Benetton were using traction control at the beginning of the season.
Schumacher totally wrecked Hill to keep him from winning the title in 94, and tried to do the same to Villenueve in 97, and yes Damon made a couple dumb moves in 95 and took out himself and MS, but he probably figured he had to dive bomb him or Michael would pull the same crap. Damons downfall was that he got Rod Tidwell disease and started thinking about the $, and Williams having just dealt with Mansell doing the same wasnt having it. Had he not been fired, he probably wins in 97 as well, but after Renault pulled out in 98 Williams has never been the same, and Hills career would have ended about the same way it did.
+GrungyFlannel Lets not forget the help Hill received fro the FIA throughout 1994, like Schumacher getting a 2-3 race ban for a black flag which have never done before and happened because his radio to the team did not work.
+Gamefan56 c'mon man, He got banned because Benetton put him in an illegal car, and refused to hand over the specs to the illegal car, and pitted the illegal car with an illegal fuel hose, the black flag at Silverstone probably would've been dropped on appeal or a time penalty if everything else wasn't there too.
GrungyFlannel Illegal car? All that was found was launch control which was not proven to be used, it was Bennetton who refused to hand it over not Schumacher. Besides they were fined for the illegal fuel hose and fined for not handing the software over.
+Gamefan56 He wasn't banned for two races for using the launch control, it was for excessive wear to his skid block because the car was illegally low. Look it up.

@DeadbeatXT I take it you are referring to Irvine holding up Panis?? That was for several laps as far as i can remember, i may be wrong, but i think it was for a longer time than this...

Schumacher is a 7 world champion. Hill is one time. Hill is complete trash and failure.
@Mattaroony hill had the best car in 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996
thats why frank williams fired him
Why am I not surprised, considering what they went through in 1994? Still, I would think Damon would get into trouble with the stewards for not letting Michael through right away when he should do.
What's the problem with 1994? A mature man would not have a problem with 1994, like Prost and Senna after 1989 + 1990. But Hill ... oh boy, like a little girl.
AWESOME!!!
Hill was a massively over-rated, lucky to be in the right place at the right time driver - just like Villeneuve and other Wiiliams winners in the 90s.
Fact. Hill was good in 94 though. But Schumacher would have dominated 97 in that Williams, for example
I misheard that as Demon, not Damon..
in defence of Damon, as unsportsmanlike as it seems, i saw no blue flags being waved at him...
@keithmoon1947 you make it sound like he smashed into coulthard on purpose. Schumi was dominating that race, driving brilliantly in the difficult conditions. he built up an enormous lead and crashing into a backmarker who was being lapped was certainly not the plan. the visibility was very bad and it was an unfortunate incident. i can understand his frustration afterwards especialy when that win could have made the difference in the championship. oh and btw dont forget he was disqualified in 97
imagine if it was vettel in Schumacher's place. he would be so angry
What's also funny is that Hill let Frentzen by really quickly but not exactly in a sporting way either. Went off the gas suddenly and unexpectedly in such a way that, had Frentzen not been paying attention, a collision was a realistic possibility here. Which funnily enough actually happened between Coulthard and Schumacher in a race that gave the win to Hill.
Funny sport sometimes, Formula One.
*Applause*

@TheD2JBug
No, I didn't call it a racing incident. I said if you ignore the fact that Schumacher had just driven into a wall it could be considered a racing incident (although even then the onus is on Schumacher). Given his car was damaged, the move was plain dirty. I don't base this judgment on Schumacher's subsequent shady behavior either - I watched the event live and felt the same way about it then. You seem to have a serious chip on your shoulder about Hill.
@chapmana22 Look again at 0:52, Its fairly short but quite clear to him.
Michael Schumacher is a legend :)
@SilEightySEK I do see your point... Although, Hakkinen and McLaren were pretty damn good too, and Shumi was beating them
There was a blue flag before the hairpin at 53s, probably more, we're looking at the cars while the flags are being shown in front of them.
@Enri1989
It wasn't intentional, just overoptimistic. Why would he intentionally knock himself and schumi out of a race when he needs to gain points?
Someday Alonso will be holding up Petrov like this. ;)
@TBCZiggo yeah i noticed it after @Morthelion mentioned it. I'll say that it is not exactly obvious to a racer who is trying to focus on a difficult corner up ahead...
No wonder about Hill. Black flag would be good.
