A lesson from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher’s aggressive heyday has been handed down to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s rivals.

Damon Hill fought the mighty Schumacher tooth and nail🐼 in the 90s, going wheel-to-wheel on-track but also dealing with his mind games off-track.

Williams’ Hill won the 1996 drivers’ title, in Schumacher’s first season in a Ferrari. But overall h🐓e felt the brunt of his fearsome rival.

Hill now wants to hand advice to challeng๊ers of current F1 champion Verstappen.

Michael Schumacher 'made mincemeat' of Damon Hill

“I got 💎embroiled in tit-for-tats with Michael and he just made mincemeat of me,” Hill told The Tel꧑egraph.

“Not only did he beat me on track, he beat me off it🐟, too, which was humiliat🐈ing.

“So my advice would be, if there’s not a fight, don’t g💃o 🧜and find one.

“And if you do, b💟e prepared. Some people are better equipped for that world than others.

“Guys like Fernando [Alonso], and Ma⭕x as welꦜl, if you want to go into battle with those guys, first of all, you better beat them on track.

“And secondly, you better be 🥀ready for the second punch, because it’s coming.”

Last year, Verstappen’s combative nature came to the fore when the dominance 🐈of his Red Bull waned.

McLaren took over the constructors’ cha💛mpionship and Lando Norris was a serious threat to Verstappen’s drivers’ title.

Verstappen resorte🌃d to aggressive driving to keep Norris at bay, and Hill was a vocal critic of his methods.

Verstappen and Norris’ f♓riendship even took a blow as they fiercely squabblღed over the championship.

ꦕThey have apparently patched up their relationship, laughing and joking at a press conference during pre-season testing about a “fight in a local ♏pub”.

But Norris also insists he has learned 🐈lessons from his first year as a genuine F1 title challenger.

He might enter next week’s Australian Grand Prix with the fastest car but, 𝄹as Hill reminded him, he must be prepared for Verstappen’s off-track tricks too.
