Hill for World Champion
Damon Hill thinks he can be the next World Champion after Schumacher. Being frustrated by Michael all this time he now thinks he can do it: "Every season you think you have the best chance of winning the championship. But, after four years, I now have a lot of experience and I firmly believe I can win it this season." Hill also said: "All I am worried about is my own performance. I am not really looking at the
competition and what they are up to. I do not fear Schumacher and I will be fighting for the
championship the same as everyone else."
Even though Villeneuve said he is not going to help Hill in any way this year Hill said: "We all start with zero points and as long as we both score within the team, it will rob other drivers of the chance to win the championship. It's good to have Villeneuve here."
