Hill: “Nothing wrong with double points at the end”

Unlike many former colleagues and the Circus Supremo himself Ecclestone Damon Hill he fully or almost completely defends the 2014 rules, above all the doubled score in Abu Dhabi.

“It's like being at Wimbledon in an elimination match and the final is worth double the first round, I honestly don't see anything wrong with it – he declared to Sky Sports UK – The objective remains to win the title, if then towards the end the stakes also increase, it's all extra spice."

However, in favor of the new engines, the '96 champion commented: “The V6s represent a notable technical challenge and the drivers were impressed by the torque produced. The only flaw is the noise which would be better if it were louder, otherwise it's still the same old F1, with powerful and rather fast single-seaters. I think this year we will see more teams score points, while there will hardly be situations of dominance. The racing will be unpredictable."
