Playing Devils Advocate, it is my opinion that Hill was the beneficiary of factors which have always been overlooked or played down.

The Bridgestone tyres that he was using were, I suspect, the best tyre to be on that day. For sure, he made good use of them, but he had a major tyre advantage.

In many ways, it compares to Maldanados race win last year, where a specific car and a specific set-up worked.

Of course, no other Bridgestone runner was competitive, but at that time Hill was the only one who could be considered capable. Panis was injured, Trulli New and Diniz distinctly third rate. Nakano about the same.

So, for me, a good drive, an unlucky one, but not necessarily one of the best.
