Hill on Monaco
Every year there seems to be debate about Monaco's continued existence on the calendar of motorsport's premier class. If it is up to Hill, the Monaco Grand Prix will stay on the calendar for a long time to come.
"To a racing driver, Monaco is quite simply the ultimate test. It’s between you, your car, and the track. It is the most technically difficult, courage-invoking, concentration-sapping, eye-widening roller coaster ride in our sport. Yes, the race is sometimes boring to watch on a Sunday, but that is because the real race is on a Saturday."
