Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill's fierce rivalry was the main thing that made Formula 1 so exciting in the 1990s. Fans saw a 'steel face' of unshakable confidence on the starting grid, but new information suggests that the famous German was dealing with personal problems that would eventually bring him back to the cockpit years after he left. Hill remembers that Schumacher was a 'magician' who pushed him to do things he would never have done on his own. However, Schumacher's relentless drive sometimes caused terrible crashes on the track.
