Retirement talk 'premature' says Hill
Damon Hill has said talk of his retirement at the end of this season is 'premature and predictable'
The 38-year-old said he was not considering stepping downdespite a difficult start to the season.
He has been outpaced by team mate Heinz-Harald Frentzen and has scored only three points so far compare with Frentzen's 13.
Hill said, 'Those reports are premature and predictable, but I didn't expect anything else. I have got as much motivation about coming to a motor race as I ever have done. That will help me through this period.'
The former world champion has vowed to cash in on Jordan's competitiveness and is confident he can turn his season around.
'Things can get a lot better without much difficulty,' he said.
'I had a bit of an up-down start last year as well, and it's not something I am particularly pleased about or proud of, but I won't give up.'
'If I get a sniff of an opportunity to race at the front I will be ready for it. I will be there when it counts.'
