If pole Schumacher Hill duet for season title. �. V  Nigel Mansell Adelaide Australia Nigel Mansell of Britain retained the pole position for Sun Day s australian grand prix and there was nothing his rivals could do about it. Torrential rain fell through out saturday s final qualifying session making it impossible for Drivers to improve their times. That was frustrating for Michael Schumacher Ana Damon Hill who will sunday resolve their season Long struggle for the world Drivers championship while Williams Renault and Benetton Ford Duel for the constructors championship.

Schumacher leads the Drivers championship with 92 Points going into the season deciding 16th race. Hill has 91. If either Driver wins the race he will assure himself of the title. V /. Hill has said he will not expect Mansell to Block Schu Macher for him. There s no Pride in playing dirty tricks in formula one and it s not Nec Essary to do that he said. It would be a shame and not satisfying to anyone if that were to occur. What i m looking for from Nigel is to get out and stay ahead of Michael because Tacti Cally that s the Best position Tobe  both championship contend ers Are bidding to make history. Schumacher 25, is aiming to Bechie the first German Driver to be world Champion and the youngest since Emerson Fitti paldiinj972. Hill Hopes to be the first Driver to follow in his father s foot Steps As Champion. Graham Hill was world Champion in 1962 with Brm and in 1968 with Lotus. He was killed in a Light aircraft crash in 1975. Damon Hill took Over As no. 1 Driver for the Williams Ren Ault team after three time Worl Champion Ayrton Senna was killed in a crash at the san Marino grand prix in May. He lifted the team with a pugnacious approach that has since Given him six victories Schumacher won six of the first seven. Grand prix races of 1994, but Hill has gradually Nar rowed the Gap winning four of the last five. Schumacher is bitter because he has twice been disqualified this season once on a technicality and because he was suspended from two races for ignoring a Black Flag during the july 10 British grand prix. We got ourselves a confident Lead in the championship an now we find ourselves with Only a one Point advantage he said.
