Damon Hill has warned arch-rival Michael Schumacher he will receive valuable assistance when he attempts to master the Ferrari star this year - from the German's younger brother. Damon predicts that his relationship with team-mate Ralf Schumacher would be much more harmonious than with old adversary Michael. Damon said: "We can win races, though, and it's my goal to win Jordan's first Grand Prix and participate in building a team which can go on to win the World Championship." Damon Hill will have a go with the new Jordan in his first test session in Barcelona.
