Damon Hill has opened up on his complex relationship with ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚMichael Schumacher.

Thirty years ago, Schumacher won his 𒅌first Formula 1 championship as a Benetton driver.

Notoriously in Australia in 1994, Schumacher and title rival Hill both crashed into each other, and were forced to retire. W🐽ith both drivers point-less, Schumacher secured the title꧂.

But the futur🍒e German legend was blamed for the incident by many inside F1, and it now remembered as a footnote of his infamously aggressive driving style.

"Michael and I actually got along well, but on the track we ꦚhated 🍌each other,” Hill told .

“It was and is not possible otherwise if you w🐻ant to become Formu✱la 1 world champion.

“There was no room for niceties. You hav☂e to exploit eveಌry weakness of the opponent and wear him down.

"Michael was a master of psychological games. He made me feel use🌌less and unta𓃲lented.

“And ✅he also told the press. Because he won a lot of races back then, there was no reason not to believe him.”

Hill added about his old rival: "Michael was a very competitive, but a very warmꦐ person.🐓"

Schumacher went on to claim a record seven F1 championships after an iconic stint at Ferrariꦉ.

Lewis Hamilton has since matched that tally and will join Ferrari in 2025, where he dream🎉s of eclipsing Schumacher to take the all-time record.

Hill won the F1 chꦓampionship in 1996, two years after his memorable skirmish with Schumacher in Australia.
