If you see a guy in front making mistakes, going on the grass, coming back in tarmac, being slower in corner, trying to close the gap moving left-right - you WILL try to overtake him!

Michael is clearly a naturally gifted driver at an exceptionally high standard, more so than Damon. However knowing his car was damaged he ran Damon off the track. This together with running an illegal car earlier in the season he did not deserve the championship, and should have been disqualified from this race. For making the same move on Jacques Villeneuve in 1997, that exactly what happened.

[@iamanidiotbut7403]

RedPhroggz he didn‘t ignore it. It was up to his team to order him back into the pit, which they didn‘t do. Not his fault. Not to forget that the black flag was unwarranted anyway considering that race control didn‘t properly communicate to the team that Schumacher had to do a stop-and-go penalty. They thought the penalty would be added up after the race. What happened at Silverstone 1994 was by all means not Schumacher‘s fault. Getting disqualified for that race and banned from two other races because of an communication error was absolutely way too cruel. It was pretty clear how the FIA desperately tried to close the gap between Schumacher & Hill.

Senna perfected the "chop" a long time before Schumacher started driving. If Prost was creeping past, Senna simply pushed him off the track by slowly moving the car over so there was no room. What he did is no better. He also did that to Nigel Mansell during qualifying for the Brazilian GP in 1992. Should have been sent to start at the back for that.

[@keisuketakahasi4584]

[@dnffuscaamigos7745]

And the planned crash that Helped Senna win 1990 F1 Title?? Senna and Prost, locked in a close battle for the 1990 title, started at the front of the pack with Senna on the pole. Prost, driving a Ferrari, moved quickly in front, forcing Senna to try to regain the lead by passing from the inside. But as Prost maneuvered his car to the right for the first turn of the course, the Brazilian then collided with ferrari driver, sending parts of Ferrari and his McLaren-Honda flying into the air. Both drivers spun out into the dirt and later walked off the track. Prost could lodged a formal protest on it I think.

[@nartho]

In this case, I defend Senna: 1 year earlier, Prost threw the car over Senna, but Senna managed to recover and win the race, but was punished (by the always corrupt FIA). Senna simply took revenge 1 year later. Prost did not complain because he had done exactly the same.

Schumacher in fairness deserved that championship. The races he was disqualified from by the British stewards was a joke. No disrespect to Hill, a great driver, and did challenge Schumacher impressively, but British fans need to see this more objectively IMO.

It’s behaviour like this why Schumacher won t be regarded as the greatest. That title goes to Lewis, a fair racer and a team player.

[@user-lm9dg8nr1j]

Erm.. Silverstone 2021. The worst deliberate and most dangerous collision ever bar none. Lewis should've got at least a two or three race ban for that one. Besides, Lewis is not even at top three all drivers all times out of GB.

[@Michelle_Schu-blacka]

Schumi was out of order for that one. He screwed up, didn't actually damage his car, but knew Hill was going to overtake him. I honestly think that moment changed the outcome of Damon's career. Had he won, he would have gone on to win at least 2 or 3 more WDC's.

[@reynardvt]

Have to correct you on one thing, he did damage his car, you can even see it. Look at his left rear tire at around 0:21. It's not pointing forward anymore, has a slight tick to the left. If Hill would have been patient enough to wait another corner the title would have been his

[@Michelle_Schu-blacka]

weidmann44 I think that might be a consequence of the suspension movement while he was off road. I can't really see anything that suggests the rear tyre or suspension was damaged and it probably shouldn't have been given the angle he hits the wall. Surely the front suspension took the brunt of the impact.

[@MysterUnknown2]

Exactly, would've been interesting to get an answer from schumacher on this: was the front suspension damaged before crashing with hill? His impact with the wall was at very low speed, can't be sure looking at it, would have needed to see what would've happened in a straight, cause in such a slow speed corner you don't notice it, but if you got issues with wheels and such you would go at 150 vs 300 kmh in a straight even at the time.

Why shouldn't he? No one is holding this against Schumacher. So why should anyone hold it against Max? On the other hand I still think Hill was robbed and should have been given the title. Obviously the same should happen if Max does a similar thing. Even though I'm Dutch and heavily biased towards Max.

[@CommanderMG]

The more I watch it, the more I'm becoming convinced that it was a racing incident. Schumacher holds the racing line after his off-track excursion, Hill comes from behind and Schumacher steers in when Hill is still clearly behind him, it's thus Schumacher's corner to take. However, Hill carries more speed as a result of Schumacher going off track, so Schumacher could have misjudged the speed that Hill had, making it a race incident. Now Schumacher could have crashed on Hill on purpose, but of course this would be impossible to prove by the stewards as it was Schumacher's corner to take. Looking at this objectively, the stewards could have only decided this to be a racing incident and they did so. Personally I think they made the right call, everything else is merely speculation.

He was DSQ for 3 or 4 races without a reason, they did this to make the season interesting again because Schumi was to fast for everyone else.. but let me guess, traction control bla bla bla only because sore looser Senna said this. And by the way, Hill was behind Michael so it was Michaels corner, if Damon would have waited 1 more corner he would have been on P1. But at the end you cant change history and Damon got his title 2 years later, so everyone is happy.
