Yeah that was one of the best f1 eras ever

@@tommasoferrini2809 same

Indeed, and he wasn't too shabby at it 👏👏

In 1996 he had NO competition whatsoever. Biggest rival was the rookie Villeneuve in his own team who got Pole and only didn’t win his very first F1 race for a technical issue. Team order was clear, hill was the number 1 driver. Still Villeneuve won like 4 gps that year. Mansell, Prost and Senna didn’t drive in 96. Yes Schumacher was there but the Ferrari wasn’t yet. So Hill “only” won the WC because he was at the right place at the right time, just like jenson button. Still, I’m not hating on Hill, he’s a class guy and he still got it done, unlike coulthart. Every WC is worthy imo, you Just need to put it in perspective.

@@23entertainment97 Agreed with you on '96, just as Jenson was lucky enough to be in the best seat in '09. I regard 1994 as Hill's best season by far; carried the team after Imola, produced some legendary drives (Suzuka) and literally battled like a lion right up until he was wiped out by Schumacher in Adelaide. In my head I regard him as the true champion of 1994, although I'm sure in some parallel universe he won that race properly and the WDC.

that made my laugh so hard seriously

Well done! 🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣

A yoke!

K. Raikkonen: "Keep going. You know what you are doing."

I feel like his rise from the poor performance in parts of 1995 is also quite remarkable. Stuff like crashing into Schumacher at Monza, going out twice in Suzuka, losing the championship again, and then coming back to win by two laps at Adelaide (and continuing in 1996) is extraordinary.

And his thanks for all of that was to be canned by Frank Williams. So happy that Williams are failing so hard now - biggest self-righteous morons in Formula 1.

Imagine driving the fastest car and not winning the championship.

And then they dropped him 😞

@@F-Man You're a bundle of joy aren't you?

Said who?

@iRacecraft When will it be not XD

@@francescozizza6498 r/wooooosh

Sadly, he didn't see him crash into the wall. All he saw was, he rounded a corner, and there was his championship rival slow in the middle of the track, ripe for an overtake. How could he have known Michael was plotting an ambush... That said, I do to this day still think Schumacher should be stripped of that title and Damon should be awarded. That has it's own problems since that season was extremely political; for example the benetton team and Schumacher were caught red handed using a banned driving aid (launch control, and possibly traction control as well) and were never officially punished for it. Schumacher was given a 3 race ban for overtaking Hill on the formation lap of the British GP and ignoring the subsequent black flag, but in all likelihood that had something to do with LC and TC. Benetton did plenty of sketchy stuff under the rule of Flavio Briatore( surprise surprise), like fiddling with the refueling system which caused some of the team's mechanics to burn at the German GP.

Deniz1923 Expect Schumacher was hit with BS penalties throughout the season to try and stop him running away with the championship.

THE REAL WORKING CLASS CHAMPION

A Working class hero is something to be, hope you get the reference

He might've worked hard, but he had no talent, he only won in 96 because Ferrari was nowhere near as fast and Jacques was new to F1.

@@waty0usay1 Salty? He deserved it after the way Michael cheated in Australia 94.

@@waty0usay1 Er, no. He had more talent than most on the grid of the time. He deserved more. He deserves more respect.

What about Jenson Button? Just asking

The original s🅱inalla

Damon and Vettel.

Absolutely spot on. And Williams didn't treat him too well either. Pity, he deserved better.

Well put, unfortunately it always falls on deaf ears and nay sayers. Just look at the performance in the Arrows at Hungary 1997, I know Diniz wasnt exactly the best in comparison but in the same equipment he was no-where.

Great stats. I didn't know that, thanks.

Damon Hill is the original s🅱inalla and the first one to show how to lose a championship with the best car 🤣🤣

Dry Bones What? By getting crashed into? Edit: Jesus, you sure have it out for Damon you’ve commented that same sentence around 5 times.

@@Nathan-bd6cq He crashes a lot by himself in 1994 and 1995.

Dry Bones He also lost a championship by getting crashed into by a another driver in 1994. You’re gonna have to be more specific about 95’ though, if you’re referring to the incidents that I think you’re referring to, then yeah Silverstone is his fault but Monza? I’m pretty sure Taki Inoue himself said he was to blame for getting in both of their ways. Edit: Jesus Christ I went to rewatch Silverstone and there you are again!

Damon Hill is the original s🅱inalla and the first one to show how to lose a championship with the best car 🤣🤣

Dry Bones are you joking. He had to race against a cheater in a cheating team and had to get Williams all back on track after Senna died. Also, until France when Williams got a good upgrade which made the car drivable and faster than the benneton, the car had no chance of winning the championship. How Senna put that car on pole each time I don’t know

@@adammodan8030 The Williams was good enough to win both titles, but Damon Hill was nowhere near Senna's level. Schumi got DSQ and got 2 race bans for something which was done by other drivers without any penalty.

Agree. One of the best I’ve ever read. So we’ll written, reflective and full of reality.

I started later in '98 but at the same age! Obviously a few years too late to see him at his very best but I just put a comment on here about how similar he was to Hakkinen in terms of how fierce but humble he was in equal measure. Both true gents too and also both kept Michael honest.

Lovely messages, both 👍

I think that Damon Hill was far from being the best driver on the grid.

He did stick around? Was the chair of the BRDC and involved in some other motorsports ventures as well as being on Sky Sports F1

Well try to be a Williams driver atle...........................oh ah nevermind

Is he one of us ???

I also supported Schumacher but Hill put up a great fight overalls without Schumacher he might be a 3 time champion.

Damon Hill is the original s🅱inalla and the first one to show how to lose a championship with the best car 🤣🤣 And even in 96, rookie Villeneuve was better but had bad luck and bad reliability

Thanks to Adrian Newey

@@drybones7475 by using your ridiculous logic, you could argue Schumacher only did well thanks to Rory Byrne's designs at Benetton at the time.

I'm a couple of year older than you by the look of it so yeah.... lucky enough to have my own tv so no creeping about but a load of effing that woke the house🤣🏁

@@rudmanpaul2812 The part that still makes me laugh to this day, after the rather stern berating about responsibility and the lack of thought and consideration for others, and language like that wasn't acceptable especially from a young lady... was the 30 seconds of oppressive silence afterwards, then my Fathers gruff sleepy voice... " Go on then, what did F-ing Shumacher do now?" He just Knew! That timing though hahahaha
