   Hill documentary

   I enjoyed the Damon Hill documentary that aired on Sky F1 yesterday   
   evening. It was a little superficial, I thought, but that didn't detract   
   from it too much at all; I think it was quite clear it was made for a more   
   generalist audience rather than F1 obsessives, and it did cover a lot of   
   ground and was quite emotive.   
      
   I thought Damon and his wife both came over well, good eggs. The   
   documentary did a good job of conveying the shadow that his father's death   
   cast over his life, and you could see that it's still something that is   
   quite raw for him, even 50 years later.   
      
   I was quite surprised by the archive footage of Schumacher; I'd forgotten   
   just how much of a *prick* he was in the mid-90s! The 95/96 seasons were   
   when I got into F1 and I remember hating Schumacher, watching the doc last   
   night really reminded me why...   
      
   It wasn't as good as the Jenson Button mini-series from a couple of years   
   ago, that was a fantastic documentary, but I'd recommend giving Hill a   
   watch, it's good stuff.
