    Damon is very much a gentleman I’ve met him a few times and has always stoped and chatted with him also met a number of other drivers always chatted

    Graham used the rowing club insignia on his helmet, it's not something Damon came up with on his own to honor his parents. He honored his family by running the by then well known family colors.

    I watched Damon race in F1. The first thing that i noticed was the type of person he was and the way that he presented himself.
    Ever the sportsman to a fault. No insults were offered to fellow competitors to my knowledge whatever happened.
    Damons demeanour was from an era that his father Graham would have been very familiar with.
    Not only has Damon won a world championship, he has been both an ambassador for his sport and his country. World champions come and go. Maintaining style is a lifetime achievement that never allows you to slip from grace.
    Damon Hill should have received a knighthood in my personal opinion.
    You will always have that something that Michael could have never earned, bought or achieved in any circumstance.

    I respected his Dad for his gentlemanly approach in F1 and I respect Damon for the at same quality. Seems to me that once you have won a World Championship then what is the point of continuing, as all you can do is defend that and you will almost inevitably and eventually lose anyhow! A rather pointless ego-pursuit unless it is just for the money!

    remember him driving for Brabham constantly off the pace even in the wet, right place right family friends and no threat to Senna his stars came into line for that drive. We all deserve luck but that was a miracle I'm sure he'd agree.

    It was the left side suspension that broke not the right side as Damon entered the left corner seeing Micheal Schumacher checking his car in the middle of the track and Damon Hill shoots on the inside of the right corner and Michael Schumacher turned in all of the sudden it was disaster for both drivers as this was not the first time Michael Schumacher done this by turning in on someone on track

    An absolute gentleman and much underrated driver. He sorted the Williams car out and almost won the Hungarian G.P. in a TWR but for a fifty pence piece of rubber letting go at the last moment. Williams was bonkers to have sacked Damon.

    • @oscaraurelio8869
      @oscaraurelio8869 3 місяці тому

      In that moment, they only saw a driver with poor, or at least not that big, psychological strength to get a WDC, and the finances, for a driver that was still rough around the edges is cheaper than an actual champion.
      Not to forget, everyone considered the Williams cars were so above the rest lots of people thought a monkey or an orangutan could drive them and be champions, so Sir Franck Williams and Patrick Head thought they could sack a driver without much consequences.
      Speaking of which, their staff managing was not exactly the most brilliant either: the same way they sacked Damon Hill, they only saw Adrian Newey as yet another engineer in aerodynamics who contributed fairly to their success, but not more than other employees, and not the recognized engineer we know now, who contributed to McLaren Mercedes champion titles with Häkkinen and Coulthard as drivers, and to all RedBull F1 team WCCs and WDCs so far

    Damon Hill is massively underrated F1 driver. By fact, he was the same good driver as Michael Schumacher. Even better. Behind Schumi was the brilliant Ross Brawn, the wizzard of refueling pit stop strategy. Hill did not have anything like.

    Schumacher a 'tough and risky' driver is a rather understated way of describing him. He had learned from Ayrton Senna a ruthlessness way beyond the normal winner mentality of the greats. It really was a case of making people yield because they knew he was willing to take them out with him if they didn't.

    • @simonkevnorris

    A long video, but it doesn't contain anything new.
    Yes, Schumacher turned into Hill in 1994 to secure the championship. He was really lucky Hill couldn't continue either. I really don't know why Williams didn't try harder to get Schumacher disqualified (as would happen in 1997) in order to end a horrible season on a positive note. After this, Hill was at a psychological disadvantage, which led to his poor 1995 season. Williams then decided to drop him at the end of 1996, which meant he had only one more chance to win the title. However, what if he'd chosen McLaren instead of Arrows in 1997? He might have won the title in 1998 or 1999. Perhaps driving a championship-winning car would have prolonged his career. Hill's F1 career was short, but he was already 39 by the time he retired, which is older than most drivers.

  • @mikecochrane803
    @mikecochrane803 3 місяці тому

    Adelaide had been forming in Schumachers mind for a while. I don't fully blame him for it as a result. The FIA have to take a lot of the blame for the way they dealt with Prost starting that tactic in 89. That, as we all know, led to Senna doing what he did in 90. That told Schumacher it was a legitimate tactic, and he probably hadn't even considered that thought till then. Then, as we know, Schumacher made a rare mistake in Adelaide, and used that tactic that the FIA had effectively legitimised in 89 and 90 as his only chance of winning.

      At the time I couldn't believe Schumacher was not disqualified, but I have to admire his determination, even if it was cheating. The guy had so much bottle, and the other drivers knew they would lose their nerve first, that gave him an edge, even if it lowered the qualiry sport in this race where he just took out Hill

      granted but to me those words of yours matters little. such an action, deserves more punishment and a further reducement of points, or maybe disqualify his whole season for that. whether the rule is there or not. sometimes judges needs to set new prejudicates. it isnt OK to win with methods like that. unsportsmanlike.

    There is nothing to discuss about the ugly thing that Schumacher did. In the pictures, it becomes so obvious that it was intentional. He did all too often ugly things on the track, so maybe there is a god after all... No! Hardly! But in my opinion, there were far too many embarrassing incidents involving Schumacher and he was never punished much enough.😊
