has been shrouded in mystery since suffering a severe brain injury<\/a> in a horrific skiing accident in 2013.<\/p>\nMeanwhile Hill, the 1996 world champion, is the son of Graham Hill, a two-time world champion who was killed in a plane crash in 1975.<\/p>\n
"There is a sense that some people don't want you to have a go," Hill said of living in the shadow of a famous father.<\/p>\n
"I felt like some people felt: 'Why is he doing this?<\/p>\n
"He is never going to be as good as his dad.'<\/p>\n
"It does not necessarily follow that because your dad was a world champion that you will be any good, but that should not prevent you from a having a go.<\/p>\n
"You should be able to have a go if you merit it, and F1 will find a way to see if you merit it."<\/p>\n

Mick Schumacher was 14 and skiing with his illustrious father in France when his father suffered his accident.<\/p>\n
Hill believed that trauma would also give Mick a greater sense of purpose.<\/p>\n
"It really is tragic what happened to Michael," Hill said.<\/p>\n
"Mick has experienced something in his life which has been very tough to bear, and I am sure it is a little bit of extra motivation that he will have…<\/p>\n
"I have been very impressed with how diplomatic he has been, and how he has asked people to be respectful of the privacy the Schumacher family has asked for.<\/p>\n
"I think he has coped with that admirably, and that has given him the chance to focus on what he wants to do.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
"But he doesn't strike me as someone who is interested in getting publicity for himself.<\/p>\n
"He wants to race and he wants to win…<\/p>\n
"In a way it's very simple \u2013 if you perform well, then all those problems melt away.<\/p>\n
"I will be keen to see how he gets on.<\/p>\n
"Everyone has been massively affected and appreciates the pain that the Schumacher family have gone through.<\/p>\n
"They wish Mick well, they really do."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
