Meanwhile, the ongoing rivalries in the F1 racing circuit between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg and also between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost were not in the caliber in the historic rivalry between Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill, reports Fox Sports.
Schumacher and Hill were the kings on taking each other out and in fact between 1994 and 1995, the two championship rivals came together three times, with neither driver winning the title.
During those three times, Schumacher was leading in his Benetton with Hill in second in his Williams. The German racer went on to finish ahead of Hill in all those three races so that made him more satisfied than winning the titles. Those intense matches happened during the 1994 Australia GP, the 1995 British GP, and the 1995 Italian GP.
The Schumacher-Hill competition was so intense that it even went to the point that the two racers nearly came to blows after their 1995 British GP confrontation.
The 1995 Italian GP was held in Monza, Italy on September 10, 1995 and there was a third party involved as both had been lapping the Footwork driven by Taki Inoue, whom Hill blamed later on.
The incident was again bad news for both the rivals for the title, Schumacher’s teammate Johnny Herbert eventually won the race, after winning the 1995 British GP held about three months earlier.
