A lesson from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher’s aggressive heyday has been handed down to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s rivals.

Damon Hill fought the migꦅhty Schumacher tooth and nail in the 90s, going wheel-to-wheel on-track but also dealing with his mind games off-track.

Williams’ Hill won t✤he 1996 drivers’ title, in Schumacher’s first🍎 season in a Ferrari. But overall he felt the brunt of his fearsome rival.

Hill now wants to hand advice to challengers o𒁃f current F1 champion🌳 Verstappen.

Michael Schumacher 'made mincemeat' of Damon Hill

“I൩ got embroiled in tit-for-tats with Michael and he just ma♔de mincemeat of me,” Hill told The Telegraph.

“Noജt only did he beat me on track,𝔉 he beat me off it, too, which was humiliating.

“So my advice would be, if th🐻ere’s not a f🍸ight, don’t go and find one.

“And if you do, be prepared. Some people are better equipped for that w💃orld than others.

“Guys like Fernando [Alonso], and Max as well༒, if you want to go into battle with those guy🔥s, first of all, you better beat them on track.

“And secondly, you b🎐etter be ready for the second punch, because it’൩s coming.”

La🦄st year, Verstappen’s combative nature came to the fore when the dominance of his Red Bull waned.

McLaren took over the constructors’ championship and Lando Norris was a serious 🐽threat to Verstappen’s drivers’ title.

Ve♚rstappen resorted to aggressive driving to keep Norr🏅is at bay, and Hill was a vocal critic of his methods.

Verstappen 🦩and Norris’ friendship even took a blow as they fiercely squabbled over the championship.

T🌳hey have apparently patched up their relationship, laughing and joking at a press conference during pre-seaso🔯n testing about a “fight in a local pub”.

But Norris a𒁏lso insists he has learned lessons from his first year as a genuine F1 title chꦐallenger.

He might enter next week’s 🅘Australian Grand Prix with the fastest car but, as Hill reminded him, he must be prepared for Verstappen’s off-track tricks too.
