Damon Hill has been at the center of several controversies recently. The former Williams, Arrows and Jordan driver is criticized for cheering on Lewis Hamilton, perhaps out of patriotism. Given that everyone is free to support whoever they want and that the 1996 world champion has no informational mission but his job is to ‘opine’, Hill goes on his way with all due respect to the haters and Red Bull team principal Chris Horner, who has repeatedly resented too harsh comments on Verstappen.
The Brit believes Hamilton is still the underdog, despite Mercedes’ progress on the power unit side: “Lewis likes to be the hunter, is comfortable and happy in this position. But it now has few opportunities to close the gap by eight points, and could lose the championship to Max. Verstappen could already win the title in Saudi Arabia, if certain conditions are met. However, I don’t think they come true: how long has Hamilton not finished sixth in a Grand Prix? (in fact, this year in Monte-Carlo he finished seventh, albeit in special circumstances, ed). Anything can happen, it was a long time since we reached the last two races with the titles up for grabs. And Mercedes now has a new engine that Toto Wolff called very powerful“, These are the words expressed on the podcast F1 Nation. Will Verstappen fans claim that Hill is ‘gufando’? Possible: this war is a total confrontation, it takes no prisoners and means that the Grand Prixs end well after Sunday.
