As for Hill, he was psychologically incapable of dealing with TGF.

Actually, anyone who had seen any of Nigel's F1 races would be struck by his bravery and excitement. However, without talent, he could not possibly have done what he did. This is simply something that was understood, but of secondary importance to the thrill of watching this guy. We are talking major adrenelin rush whenever Nigel went racing. Maybe we can get him to give Ralf a few pointers, instead of Ralf wanting to count gearbox bolts on his brother's car.
Don't agree with the jibe about Damon though. It was his taking on SchM at Adelaide which gave the latter the opportunity to prang him.
