“I think Mick was under a lot of scrutiny, a lot of pressure and I think that it got to him the end,” Hill told the F1 Nation podcast.

“I don’t know where he gets his adv💎ice fro♔m but I think he probably found it was harder than he thought [in] Formula 1. 

“Th🍌ere’s other aspects to it, which you only get from years of being in the sport which I think Nico Hulkenberg has had and, therefore, he can concentrate on delivering for the t♔eam.

“That’s why the team ultimately need people who can just do the j🌱ob without puttin🔯g them under stress.”

“But underlying everything is always going to be the bottom line and the bottom line is you win or 🐓you don’t, or you’re quicker or you’re not, and that’s going to rule your li𝕴fe.”
