    Ahhh man, I was at this one! I was backpacking at the time and arrived in Oz in April 95: one of my best 'claim to fames' was that I was at the last GP in Adelaide and the first GP in Melbourne (actually ended up at 2 GP's in Melbourne, as the company I got a job with got my visa extended, so stayed in Oz for 20 months!). Damn, this is mad.... I cannot believe this was nearly 29 years ago...... where the hell did it all go???? (Oh, and I'm now 52, just in case anyone was wondering!! 🤣🤣)

I might be biased but the Adelaide track was also one of the best in the world and had everything to test the car and driver and gave for great racing where as if you compare it to Melbourne which took this race it’s dull and boring

    Damon Hill was the only driver of that time to put pressure on Schumacher. Every time Damon was pushing him,Schumacher made a mistake. And! Yes after suffering that pressure he crashed and slewed his car into Damon.Without that Damon would have been two times world Champion. I still cannot understand till this day,why Damon didn’t just ease off and let Schumacher come to a stop! And then just drive round him. He says in his book that basically he didn’t have time to react in that way. Rubbish! Nigel Mansell would have backed off and let Schumacher come to a stop. And then won the Championship. Damon is an old school Gentleman. Williams treated him and Nigel like S@#£. Prost! Senna! Thought it was the way to an easy Championship. For Prost it was. Williams were “THE” team at that time. Where are they now ?
    Damon should have at the very least been three times Champion. But Williams with their bizarre thinking,ruined that. Well let’s just say Bloody Patrick Head,and that says it all! This Ar@#£& thought that every one of their Drivers should win every race. If they didn’t they were out. What an A@#£&#*
