HILL TO QUIT?

DAMON HILL could quit Formula One at the end of the season if he does not have a successful year with Jordan, his team boss Eddie Jordan said Wednesday. “If he does a good job for us, we’ll want him to stay. If he doesn’t, he’ll want to stop himself,” said Jordan, who has teamed Hill with Heinz-Harald Frentzen for the new campaign, which begins in Australia next month. Hill (38) made history when he racked up Jordan’s first and only Grand Prix win in Belgium last year, leading home his then team-mate Ralf Schumacher. It was his 22nd F1 race win. He won all his other 21 – and the world drivers’ championship – with Williams.
