Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Sky's coverage of this year's Australian GP was the item narrated by Damon Hill, the man whom Schumi cheated of a driver's championship 30 years ago at the same event. The report showed various angles of footage of the incident, which, to my mind, demonstrates conclusively that MS turned in on him after putting himself out of the race via a meeting with a wall.
Damon was very calm, his recitative inflected by not a hint of bitterness, which was oddly impressive.
After it aired, Martin Brundle remarked on this, adding, when Mr. Hill asked him if the German's move was deliberate, that he thought it was.
Those who remember Martin's commentary of Jerez '97 recall that Schumacher's turning in on Jacques in a similar attempt cleared all doubt from his mind.
IMHO, Damon Hill should be known as a Two-time Drivers' Champion, and Schumi as a footnoted second behind Lewis Hamilton's record number of championships.
Thoughts?
