Glad to know it's only "almost", because I wouldn't... *grumble*

Hill deserved both of them.

At least the commentators never held back on how "accidental" they thought both incidents were.

And he did the exact same thing the next year, too.

Two years after that (neither of them won the next year), he mistimed the move and ended up crashing off himself, giving his rival the championship.

You can see two of the incidents here (in the first, Schumacher was leading by one point, and only needed to stop Hill from finishing), complete with scathingly unsympathetic reaction from the commentator when the third goes wrong, since the guy has a reputation for that trick.

But the number of times the rules were bent for whatever team Schumacher was driving for at the time beggars belief - remember that time when he won a race from the pit lane because there was nothing in the rulebook that said that he couldn't serve his ten second penalty after the race? The time when his team'd been removing the safety filters from the fuel rig to save time and Jos Verstappen's car caught fire in the pit lane when the unfiltered fuel spilled (note: Verstappen himself escaped with just burns around the eye area that wasn't protected by his helmet or overalls - the neighbouring pit crew ran over to pat out several burning mechanics who were rolling on the floor) - and the F1 governing body took no action?

Believe me, those're random lowlights. He wasn't a popular chap.

The team that removed the fuel filters claimed that they'd been told that they were allowed to do so, and everything went very quiet...
