It's no secret, Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill hardly like each other. Last Sunday, after the seven-time German world champion received his penalty, many thought that the presence of Damon Hill alongside the stewards had in no way helped the driver's affairs. Mercedes.

The Briton was very embarrassed when he was asked his opinion about the skirmish between his former rival and Fernando Alonso.
