Damon Hill, 1996 Formula 1 world champion, and Jacques Villeneuve, 1997 Formula 1 world champion, discussed their 1996 title battle as Williams team-mates on the Williams Team Torque podcast.
Jacques Villeneuve said he found it harder to race a team-mate because they share the same car and setups, and that intra-team rivalry can become personal for mechanics and engineers.
Damon Hill said their similar upbringings—both were sons of Gilles Villeneuve and Graham Hill and both lost their fathers young—created mutual respect and a strong sense of sportsmanship.
Hill won the 1996 drivers' championship with Villeneuve second and Michael Schumacher third, a result the pair reflected on during the podcast.
