Hill and the plan? “Death we got to see what it was a day or two after he died. My school get it to us and wanted to console in any way. I was really touched and there was no time.” The people did not listen to them. “People haven’t been who hasn’t heard.”

He took something like:” We must have something like: “We ought to have something like you. It is nice about me when I gone. She was a tough bastard, which is paid from the French.”
Documentally offers fascinating insights in Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna. Archive footage shows how Schumacher was iraked by Hill’s challenge. It’s a scene where after Hill won the class, Schumacher slaps its rival’s cap. This is meant to look at playful but it’s a little carried out with frustration and anger.
“And there was no one to be ashamed and did not know how to answer someone who was struck,” Hill says Schumacher. “It was a awkward moment. I have tried conversations with him and I can not. Our values are different.
“I’m never close to it, and I’m not going to pretend that I was. But having him like a foil brought me out of me, and I know that’s and I am, and I am.” He was 26 and fought in it. “

Do you have any driver today to carry something like Hinterland Senna and F1 big? “It is still very young, in their 20s, but I think to with you with James Hunt and Niki, Praise, Porphyrie and Senna. And getting older and that” maybe what I am getting older and rest. “
Max Verstappan approaching the height of Senna and Schumacher? “So, it’s in the mold. Max is a discipline and paid, practiced to fight. But the whole of the enemy, and there is no in the time and I have not in the ff. Boot to Alan Jones praise and hunt with fire. They are cruelly.
“Max and [43-year-old] Fernando Alonso are the same. Max always gives it 100%. Similarly with Fernando, as craft and clever. I don’t want to play cards with him. “
What is your younger drive impressed? “Oscar Piastri is interesting. He has a calmness and confidence in himself that’s not overstated.

Carlos Sainz Jr. [who lost his seat at Ferrari to Lewis Hamilton] Has that metuals makes you fight on any kind of you have placed it. “
And Lando, the Norris, which is locked in the war to the Pilastri with Piastri, the team-mate, and verstappen? “Lando is very talented,” Hill says. “He’s a gift and smart, but not sense and it’s enough to lose it.
