Welcome back to 30 days of Beyond the Grid.

It's actually just a week until you can listen to our 2024 season preview on our sister

podcast F1 Nation. We discuss the biggest talking points in Formula One, share our race predictions, play F1 fantasy, and enjoy some

friendly rivalry in our weekly quiz, with a new episode released every Monday from next week

until the end of the season.

Damon Hill is one of my teammates on F1 Nation,

so on day 22 of our countdown,

I've picked a clip from my chat with the 1996 world champion back in 2019.

Damon tells me how it felt to controversially lose the 1994 title to Michael Schumacher

and what it was like to work alongside fellow champions

Nigel Mansell, Alham Prost and Aet and Senna.

When you look at the kind of personalities they were, the kind of

physiques they were, the kind of characters they were, they were different in

every respect except for one or two things.

One, they were lightning quick and two, they were incredibly competitive.

So it just shows you, I think competitive with you, as in from a selfish one of you not with me no just the

relationships with me I would say were different because they were different people

they're different person who'd like to joke around and and maybe make a little comment that puts you in

a place but at the same time it wasn't too aggressive or anything and

Elaine would just keep himself to himself and be very polite and very quiet and very

gentle I'd say and Ayrton was intense and hard working and very serious and very different personalities.

I mean they were just chalk and cheese all of them.
