There have been some classic quotes from the many
interviews, grand prix and arguments...
Coulthard had slowed on the racing line,
during severe rain and poor visibility conditions, resulting
in Schumacher impacting heavily with his car ripping a wheel
and suspension off. Once back at the pits Schumacher ran to
the McLaren garage and confronted Coulthard...
Schumacher: Are you trying to f****** kill me?
Coulthard's response in a later interview:

Coulthard: His behaviour coming into the
garage and accusing me of trying to "effing kill him",
it is just unacceptable.
Hill swerved several times down the back straight of
the circuit at high speed, as Schumacher was attempting to
pass.Schumacher managed the pass
regardless, but his car was on the ragged edge.
Schumacher: That was purely dangerous driving. If
someone wants to kill you, he should do it in a different
way. We are doing 200mph down there and for someone to then
move off the line a total of three times is completely unacceptable.
Hill tried an impossible passing attempt on Michael for
the lead during the early stages of the race, resulting in
them both landing in a gravel trap.
Schumacher: It was completely unecessary what Damon did there. There was
no room and he came from nowhere. I don't see the sense of
doing things like this, even in front of your home crowd.
