Wow, thanks for the video link. I have heard and read about that confrontation before, but never seen the footage. Aswesome!
Senna is dead...been that way for years...he ain't coming back...even when MS dies Senna will still be dead...get over it
parkerfe, Perhaps I misinterpreted the comment. Before passing judgement would you care to explain the meaning of it.
How in the world could you know that? While he was a good driver, F1 technology has changed a lot since he was racing and drivers have gotten better and more athletic...he may have just been a Ide in todays F1...
You know, no matter how good a driver Senna was, it simply was not a "nice guy", which subtracts a lot of points in my book. Then again, neither is Schumy.
All sound and fury over this meaningless clip. At least show the one with Piquet kicking I-forget-who in the cojones or Ayrton clipping Irvine. That would be more in line with giving ****. Parkerfe, I agree with the others that your remark was tasteless.
Diference: MS as always overtake the others in the pits AS use to overtake in the track Todays F1 is a joke, looks like a train, or a carrousell!
In your opinion perhaps. Even IF that is the case, MS is multiple times of a man that Senna ever was and never will be.
Micheal and Schumi have raced together. How did Schumi do when Senna was around? I remember before Senna died, wasn't Schumi the man to beat. At that time Schumi had less experience than Senna. I my personal opinion Micheal is a better driver than Senna was. As for the cars being easier to drive today compared to the Senna days, its probably true. But Schumi raced when Senna was around and also won.
MS is a great driver, but in my opinion Senna and also Prost are FAR better.They have to race with other great like Mansell, Piquet, Lauda,Berger. MS is like a computer, but is just my opinion...
Charismawise I definitely agree. To be fair you mentioned Lauda and Prost. Remember "Computer" was the nickname for Lauda and Professor the one for Prost. MS has learned well from them and their cunning style and picking battles only when they're worth picking. MS has also clearly learned from Senna: Putting down a superfast lap when necessary and being tough to the limit of the rules when necessary. I think it is only natural, that great drivers learn from the best. Just as Alonso was a "computer" last year. He clearly picked up some pointers from MS.
Kalidengas is correct. F1 was much more a drivers series in the past, hell they actually shifted back then, not to mention, no driver assist crap and the turbos were much more powerful and the tracks real tracks. MS is real good but most of his accomplishment is just domination over lousy teams and lousy drivers except for last year and this year and his early days. As to driver fitness, the turbo days had harder acceleration and much harder conering so the demand was greater back then. AS was enormously talented but he was also dirty to a degree. And that was a comment you would like to forget.
