Damon is such a nice guy. Huge respect to him!
It is amazing that one of his greatest rivals talks about shumacher like that.this really shows how legendary michael shumacher is
He is a true gent, I met him at my local surf spot just as I was leaving the sea and he was heading in, he was happy to chat and I was super stoked for meeting him, a total legend. 👍🏻
My big crush back then! I think he's very underrated as a driver. I doubt he'd have done the same thing on purpose - no matter how coyly he put it. He's a total gent.
lol Yeah. He does now. After talking shit about him for nearly 25 years.
Damon is probably one of the most snobbish drivers IRL. This is from people who've actuvally met him..
There's no any bad word for Michael from Damon despite that Michael's move in 1994 title deciding gp. Great gentleman and champion! Thank you Damon!
True sportsman
Well, as opposed to the British press and the British fans, deep inside Hill is aware that Adelaide '94 was mostly his own fault. Schumacher was clearly ahead going into the corner, so he was in the right taking the ideal line and Hill knew he should've stepped on the brake - particularly since Hill was convinced that Schumacher had damaged his suspension in the previous corner, meaning he could could have overtaken Schumacher anywhere, even on the next straight, if he was right about the suspension (but that we'll never know)
@@MrBritishComedy Damon even admits that himself nowadays...
They probably prohibited him from talking about it
@@ferst262 nonsense
Deep, deep respect Damon, to make this. Honesty!
True champion of 1994
We need an interview with Mika Häkkinen about Michael!
The Michaël !
Who knows maybe they'lle make one last appearance together? We need the Michael in the limelight finally, see how he's holding up. Come on us fans deserve that much.
@@MacGovernor won't happen, Schumacher's family does not want the media attention, let the man revalidate in peace and remember him for his greatness, not his ski accident aftermath.
@@KoRnBulleT There has been constant media attention and endless speculation for his condition for the last five years. Wouldn't have been if they let us know in time. We love the Michael, that's why we want to know and see him. We would still remember him for his greateness. We need peace too.
I agree, the one that made Schumacher work big time on both occasions in 1998 and 1999
I would truly be dissapointed if this doesn't end up being a series.
Hit that bell for notifications, you might just get a few pleasant surprises in the next few days 😉
True it would be a very interesting serie about him
I'm not a fan but I respect his achievement
That's the type of guy who motivate you to be the best because you want to beat him

Formula One Fan You forgot Kimi. 2003 was mental.
For obvious reason, not Senna I'm afraid... :(
And senna is the best
Montoya was a mental guy. Talented yes but he was not clever enough to race like a real champion
@@mahitjames8564 No doubt about this! Simply the best!!!
One of the greatest rivalries in F1 history! 🔥
Hill, Villenueve, Mika, Montoya and Alonso were his greatest rivals
@@henrywhatzal4724 kimi also
That decade of formula 1 was the best, some great competitive drivers with lots of overtaking. Also the best commentator Murry Walker.
Finally a bit more content revolving around one of the all time greats of this sport! Would love to see more of that and some more classic onboards from the Ferrari era!
Michael always said Mika was his biggest rival. But he respected Kimi and Fernando highly as drivers too.
Schumi; love him or hate him, you got to respect him for what he achived
shitting on his paints daily
@@leart78 I think you were in what came out too
I hate his guts and will never respect him as a person because of his actions, but I do respect his 5 legitimate World Championships
*6 world champs
@@Jay-jn3sl as a person?? What did he do „as a person?“
As driver ok, the opinions are different. But as person he is one of the most professional and legitimate.

Happy Bday Schumi
We love you :) #KeepFightingMichael

@@RutgerBoermaRacing iyain aja
Absolutely great upload and insight from Hill... we don't do enough uploads of Michael -- a modern day LEGEND.
Hill was so underrated, yes he had the best car for 3 of his 4 seasons in f1 and was totally outclassed by Schumacher in 94 and 95, but he came to f1 really really late, schumacher was best part of a decade younger than hill when they were racing for the first time in 92. Also hill won races in 93, 94, 95, 96 and a flukey one in 98 (nearly winning in 97 with an absolute shed). He won the championship in his 4th full season...dont think hakkinen, raikkonnen, button or even mansell achieved that. Plus he was forced into a team leader role when senna died and had to carry on as normal.
He wasnt even remotely as gifted as Schumacher, hamilton, senna, alonso etc but he deserves that world championship.
100% agree ...a very good test driver . He took his chances and got a title ...the 97 arrows hungry drive was stunning
Damon is a brilliant driver! He never had the chances of all these drivers that you mentioned and despite that he was a top notch since his first real F1 season in 1993, at age of 33(!). He defeated Schumacher that season and only his bad luck stopped him to the title - engine and other car problems took away from him 3 victories - at the end of this season he would be in front of Senna and probably few point ahead or below Prost. For me in 1994 Damon is the champion! If we apply the present rules of F1 Schumacher would be punished immediately for what he did to Damon back then. And in 1994 and 1995 Beneton was THE BEST CAR. Williams struggled a lot after the ban of their active suspension. If Senna knew it would be banned in 1994, he would never sign with Williams. Senna didn't manage it and died because of the car's problems, Hill did it. Absolutely the best driver in the world in Suzuka and Australia 1994. He put so much pressure on Schumacher and the German hit the wall and then torpedoed Hill in an absolutely forbidden and nasty way. I still do not believe they did not punish him then and did not give Hill's title.
Damon is simply one of the best drivers and champions in F1 history!
I would have been the first to underrate him as a child but that drive in Hungary with the Arrows to me confirmed he was world champion material. You're always sort of blinded by the "best car" argument when they're in the title winning car but to see what he did with that Arrows, that's legend-in-the-making material really.
Was gutted when he was dropped by Williams for 97 season, I can see why they maybe thought that Frentzen would be a good bet for 97 and true Damon hadn't done himself justice at times in the 95 season (although the FW17 was also not as reliable as the B195) but ultimately Schumacher would have still won that championship anyway and was simply the best driver. For me it would have been fascinating to see how it would have panned out in 97 with Hill still at Williams up against Villeneuve again and Schumacher in a now competitive Ferrari, who knows it might have been down to the wire with the 3 of them rather than just 2!
In 1994 Schumacher had a much better car. The Williams was a deathtrap. Damon was not as good in 1995. But again, the 1995 Benetton must have been superior for a physically challenged Herbert(even though he had more innate talent than Coulthard) to be so close to DC in the championship. He moderately edged a Villeneuve who crushed a very talented Frentzen. If Hill had trained as early and hard as DC he would have been nearly as good as Senna. Berger said the same thing about starting to drive at 24...you don't get those years: that experience back.
Feed me with more Michael's footage ! I can't get enough of these :)

Thank You Damon H, I routed from Michael but enjoyed watching you drive and challenge him and take the championship congratulations to you!!
Keep Fighting MS!!!
We all miss you😢
Simon Speckmaier he’s isn’t dead tho, everyone has there time like Alonso , now Kimi will be the next legend to leave
Maybe Kimi will be the last one
Anthony Paris nah Lewis and seb , but I think they have 4 more years
@@gavin7261 Maybe not,because they had less rivalry than the others
Anthony Paris that’s true
Hill is my fav driver of all time
Schumacher and Hill: increible battle!!!
For me Damon Hill has ever since been the best F1driver ever! Simply a L E G E N D! I would so much desire to meet him one day in life personally!
Sir, you were my hero. I loved Michael, but I loved you first. As a Hungarian... What a pitty was to lose that race in the last round. Then I said: that's why I loved you best back then. It's a great honor to seen you racing and thank you for those moments. A fan of yours, Michael's and racing with beautiful engine sounds. God bless you Sir!
Props to Damon for being so magnanimous, Michael cheated simple as, and wasn't just a one off. That being said he was a legend, one of the greatest and wish him all best. Keep fighting Michael
so true! schummelschumi - in a fair world he deserved bans for seasons not for races.
bit like Lance Armstrong he cheated, but he is still 7 time TDF legend.
@@mofi3641 most of the F1 greats had "cheating" moments, even the "people's Champion " Senna had a few
@@Ass4ssin007 What did he do?
@@neophytosdm crash into Prost Multiple times including one time where he said hes gonna go for 1st place into T1 no matter what, ended up crashing into Prost And giving him the title
This videos about Michael are so inspirating!!!
One of the BEST rivalries in formula one history
damon hill is such a man.
He deserves one title more!
Yeah the title for biggest idiot
Well he won same number of titles like Raikkonen
Damon was such a underated driver ..96 champ ☝️
so true. and what a character. no cheating, no unfair movement...i think that is mentioned not often enough. when he was overtaken he was fair. i think thats true sportmanship!
Correction: 94 and 96 champ
@Izumi Culture He did won 2 world championships. He was straight up robbed in 94.
@@alexcla9445 true he forced schumcher in to that mistake ..the rest is history
Damon was hugely under rated. Won for Jordan and nearly won for Arrows. Nice guy too.
Not only that, but he knew how to regularly win. Won three races at Williams (in his first full season) and multiple races in other seasons. Compare that with Frentzen who replaced him
Yeah, i was a fan of Damon. He was so unlucky in Hungary...I think it whould have been the most unreal win in f1 history, with such a weak car.
Damon the trouble with that opening statement, 'I stuck to his rear light and got to watch him' imply's you drove just as well to keep up with him!
Huge respect to you Mr. Hill. Very nice well chosen words and show of respect from you for Michael. If I were him this would mean a lot to me coming from an old rival.
Wow this brings back memories. Used to be a huge fan of Hill.
My greatest respect to all this legendary drivers of 90s and before and after ,who did so much for F1
This was good, thanks
Sad to see that we will never see Michael Schumacher again..at least One day we hope to One real update about him
No one is unbeatable because he did beat him 1996 and could have beaten one more time if wasn’t for the crash.
Excellent video ...
I've never been a fan of Michael, but his legacy in f1 will never be forgotten
Happy Birthday Schumacher
The best Schumi 💓💓
Very candid and honest stuff from Damon.
My favourite driver growing up and such a gent. I've just finished building a replica FW16 with him at the wheel.
What a sport! I’d love to see some of these current cars on track. Mind bending and performance!
3:10 The 3 most iconic teams in F1 history, with the most iconic driver.
Schumacher's 1994 title would never have stood now with that move.
Rob W an neither would Senna’s move on Prost an vice versa. They were a different breed back then, driven 2 win at all costs!!
Suzuka and Adelaide in 1994 was some of the best sporting drama I have ever seen.
Hill is the true champion of 1994, we all know it.
Happy Birthday Schumi, Stay with us please. I still have hopes to see you one day in person.
Lovely to see Damon as charming as always.
They could interview Adrian Newey for this series. I think it'd be fair to say they were rivals, even if they worked in different "branches" of F1. Also, it would give us a new perspective on Michael.
Happy birthday the man, the legend Michael Schumi
I completely loved that era.
I really like to remember the year 1995. The cars wasn't easy to handle, so mutch was happend on the track, and you could never be sure wich driver arrive the finish line. This was the best season I ever saw.
Love his podcast..
Best fights ever...on track...Michael Schuhmacher and Damon Hill. That what F1 stands for...thx Damon for your performance on track! :D
Michael embodied the will to win.
Such a great personality. After all bad unsportsmanlike things Michael did
Two legends there in my view.
Today is my birthday as Michael Schumacher happy birthday Michael
Thanks michael !!
Hill must have loved holding up Schumacher at the 1998 Japanese GP.
And 97! With Frentzen catching Michael. Schumacher was furious!
That was the time, I was waking up 4am in the morning to watch Suzuka etc. Rewatching gp's many times. No I am not even bothered to watch highlights:-(
Happy birthday Michael
Just finished Damon's biography. He's so underrated in my opinion.
He's the most honest and humble driver and world champion. Maybe a bad marketing strategy during his career but certainly makes for the best interviews about that era.
My actual childhood hero!
Fair and good driver damon
HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY SCHUMI #keepfightingmichael
I can never say I've been a fan of Michael, but I have unbelievable respect for the raw skill he had and just how amazing his drives were (of course I have to find recordings of old races) a shame really that some of his moments were questionable then.
However, undeniably the greatest in the F1 HoF
For now 😏
Still remember setting my alarm, getting up to watch Adelaide 1994, and the crushing disappointment when Hill was taken out.
One word : GOAT
Senna. Schumacher. Hakkinen. Top 3.
I really hope we all see someday really great news - Schumi get well and be released from hospital. #keepfightingmichael and happy birthday
i love how he tells a story. racing agains schumi made him better driver too. really great piece of F1 history.
funny thing is people who never raced say schumi cheated but hill and hakkinen never say that. they say they had fair battles on track and had to work hard to beat him.
20 years from now: LEWS HAMILTONS GREATEST RIVALS....
crickets
..... ??? nico rosberg.... the end
Agree with you!
Its really interesting as Schumacher openly admitted in interviews that Hakkinen was by far the only driver he considered a threat.
I agree with Schumacher on that. I think their was a golden age of F1 in the 80s and early 90s with the likes of Senna, Prost, Mansell and Piquet. In the late 90s and early 2000s I think their was a bit of a lean spell. I often wounded if Schumacher would have been quite so dominant had he had stronger opposition.
Nice man..x
Damon was a great guy
One of the most underrated Formula 1 drivers.
Susuka should be the Last Race! It was the best time in F1 the 90's!
Damon looks sharp!
Do this type of videos on ayrton senna aswell please
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL🎉🎉🎉🎉🎁🎉🎊🎊🎁
He was and is the "MASTER"
Might be difficult to get Kimi here but I hope he gives us some thoughts, since he's since a driver today and also fought Schumi in 2012 so has some extra experience with him.
What a gent... A great chap
Damon, Jacques, Mika, David, Kimi Fernando
Coulthard??? Really
My favourite driver!!👍🙂
#KeepFightingMichael we will never miss you
Nothing but respect for Damon. He took over the leadership role after Ayrton passed away after Imola, that moment in time must have had such huge ramifications on his mind. Thrust into that leadership role on top of that, THEN taking the fight straight to Michael's door? Formula one drivers deserve respect just stepping into a f1 car and firing up the engine. To step into one, take over the leadership role with the memories of your father doing the exact same thing over 20 years before, and not just stepping up, but winning? Tell me what other drivers deserves that level of respect?
Happy Birthday Michael!

The music bed works for race footage, but under interview it's too much.
Gracious as ever , a true gentleman racer
Fair play Damon 🙏
He’s a lot like f1s dale earnhardt. They both were so good that they needed to find someway to entertain themselves and they both hit people just for fun.
F1 will never answer...
I love f1
Schumacher and Alonso in ferrari.... ahhhh the dream team.
well it gonna be disaster for the team since non of them step down for the other, the result would be like Redbull early 2018 season.

Damon Hill mi primer piloto favorito de la fórmula 1 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 grande Crack!!!
Montoya was/is an underrated rival imo
In 1995, aged 10, I was at Silverstone with my dad. He was at the bar with his Naval colleagues (back when the Navy had a big presence at the GP) and I was sent off to the drivers car park to collect autographs. Towards the end of the Saturday I was told by a car park attendant that if I waited by a certain gate, Damon would be along shortly. About an hour later he arrived in his golf buggy, he gave me his autograph and we had a brief chat, I was super nervous but Damon was lovely and I wished him luck got the race. He got into his Renault Laguna and waved goodbye to me as he drove off, it made my weekend. It was a shame that he slammed into the side of Schumi the next day and wiped them both out! Maybe I jinxed him.
Happy Birthday Champ🙏
