The 96 world champion Hill had some amazing duels with the German Schumacher during his racing career. The two often collided and did not have to face any consequences for their actions around the route.
Seeing the stewards penalizing even the smallest mistake, Hill used this opportunity to recall his struggles with the seven-time world champion that led him to lose the 94 championship by a single point.
On Twitter he wrote: “Oh no!! Lando Norris + 5s penalty. I wish I had had these stewards when I was racing in a certain German race. “

The race between Hill and Schumacher that changed history
The 1994 title race took place between Williams’ Hill and Benetton’s Schumacher, and both separated only one point to claim the world title. It got on my nerves at the Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide.
The then Benetton driver had hit the grass and left Hill to gain a position. Schumacher got the car back under control, however, but not for long as both collided and sent the German into the firewall and Hill back into the garage as he suffered serious damage to his car. Hill’s car could not be repaired and so the 94 ′ driver title went to the German, and it was his first of many.
Regarding the countless incidents he had with the German, Hill took this opportunity to wish he had such tough stewards to help give his fiercest rival in Formula 1 an advantage.
