Sebastian, oh Sebastian, you absolute legend... what on earth is still keeping you tied to this Ferrari nursery?

🤦🤦

Tomorrow, we’re likely looking at a DNF for either Lewis Hamilton or Sebastian Vettel. Honestly, it could be both. I wouldn't be surprised if they're out by the second turn, or maybe even during that opening lap. ☕

Jules, thank you for leaving us a driver like this.

That’s a beautiful sentiment.
Thank you, Jules Bianchi. 🙏🙏

mellowtiger83 said:Even though he's starting P3, Vettel will likely grab the top spot because his car is a rocket on the straights—he’ll just slice right past those two ahead of him.
I'd be genuinely shocked if he isn't sitting in P1 after the start tomorrow.

Yesterday, both Leclerc and Vettel mentioned needing to find a balance between qualifying pace and race trim. To me, it looks like Sebastian leaned much harder into his race setup, which explains that gap.

In short, Vettel is the heavy favorite to win. If he gets clear air, we all know how dangerous he becomes when he's dictating the pace of the race.

You guys gave up on him way too early.

Sebastian Vettel is essentially retired; you just haven't admitted it to yourself yet...

Richard Walker38 said:So, does that mean if I didn't catch the race live, I’m essentially barred from commenting? Are we strictly limiting discussion to everything from 1997 onwards?

It always comes back to that same old excuse: "You haven't actually watched him race." Since when did rewatching the highlights or studying the footage not count?

Fair enough. My mistake—those recordings definitely count.

The truth is, Ayrton Senna wasn't a legend to me when I was actually watching him race. Even now, looking back after that tragic accident on the track, he doesn't hold that legendary status in my eyes.

To my mind, Ayrton Senna remains the greatest driver to ever sit in an F1 cockpit. That’s just my personal take on it. I’ll admit, I can be a bit of a nostalgic soul, but for me, Ayrton Senna was simply the best—and that isn't going to change.

Moderators, I think it’s finally time for....... 🙂

Richard Walker38 said:For those living in the past, Senna and Maradona will always be the ultimate icons, even if they shouldn't be. Senna became a legend only after he passed away; if he were still driving today, I don't think anyone would be placing him at the absolute pinnacle or calling him the greatest driver to ever live.

.......

That's a total miss. It's pretty clear you never actually watched Ayrton Senna drive.

It's a disgrace.
To snatch victory right out of someone's hands and just hand it over... 👎

It’s like a classic "Robin Hood" scheme in reverse—taking from the little guy and handing it straight to the elite.

What a disgrace.
To snatch a victory right out from under someone and just hand it over... 👎

It’s the ultimate "trickle-up" scheme: take from the little guy and give it straight to the elites.

Well, there you have it... 🤣

ruggedhawk20 said:Then you’ve got MSC7XWDC just cruising along like a total amateur in a car for a team that had only managed five wins in their entire history before he showed up.

Give it a rest with Ayrton Senna, ruggedhawk20.
Just go cheer for your precious Ralf Schumacher instead. I’m sure he’ll find a way to smooth out those corners eventually.

George White52 said:Exactly, let's get Ferrari that podium 👍

Today's working day was actually quite decent and stress-free... which is honestly what I needed most...
But this comment had me laughing until I cried—it’s just pure gold... ( No offense intended ).

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

🍿

cosmiccyclist8 said:you should also throw in that bit from the 1982 Monaco Grand Prix when he was nearly a minute ahead of Alain Prost with just a few laps left😁 honestly, only an idiot would have actually cruised to the win there😁

Go ahead and look up the 1982 Monaco Grand Prix; you'll see exactly how much of a "virtuoso" Alain Prost actually was when he proved himself totally incapable in Monaco, especially since you're bringing up 1988.

Jason Campbell70 said:How much more fun can you actually get than dealing with mythomania? I’d say I’ve found the right spot.

And honestly, I don't see myself going anywhere else. 🤷

You're being far too modest... 🍿

All that mythomania belongs in Egypt, Atlantis, or even Antarctica... you won't find any of that here.

Guys, without characters like you two, threads like this wouldn't even be half as interesting. 😍

Sorry, man... but you might want to find a better way to entertain yourself elsewhere.

brisklynx62 said:ruggedhawk20 is just a total idiot, honestly. I guess it probably says something about me that I’m willing to put them in the same category as this absolute joke of a person

Yeah, ruggedhawk20 is a tough one to deal with... he probably just feels a bit envious of everything Ayrton Senna achieved.
The biggest issue with people like him (take Jason Campbell70, for instance) is their tendency toward mythomania.

Whether you call him a legend or a myth, Ayrton Senna was simply a mortal man and a man of faith, just like the rest of us. That's the simple truth.



Nothing can ever pull me away from God's love.

Jason Campbell70 doesn't exactly care for Keke Rosberg, mostly because he's incredibly close with Mladen Jergović—whether they're cousins or if it's just Mladen himself.

It’s common knowledge how much Mladen Jergović can't stand Keke Rosberg (think Grobnik back in '86 or '87).

ruggedhawk20 said:Why even bother praising him?

Look, we all get it—Ayrton Senna was a god-tier driver. Maybe even the best of his era.

But let's be real—the guy didn't give a damn about his rivals on the track. Or his fans. He was hands down the biggest egomaniac and narcissist out there.

At Imola 1994, Ayrton Senna should've done exactly what Alain Prost did back in Adelaide 1989.

He should've just hopped out of a bolid that clearly had steering issues. (And since he was such a "legend," he obviously knew something was wrong by the seventh lap.)

But nope—his ego won. Just look at his funeral. Because of his selfishness and this warped view of himself and reality, your boy Ayrton Senna made millions of people miserable in a single second. Millions.

If he wasn't such a massive narcissist, he would've realized he couldn't risk dying for those crowds—he should've pulled the bolid into the pits and swallowed his pride, just like Prost did in Adelaide in '89.

But Senna? He wasn't about swallowing his pride—he'd rather fly off into the afterlife...

Anyone can go out in a blaze of glory—that's the easy part. Real heroes stay on this planet as long as they possibly can... they swallow the bitter pill.

But nah, Senna was built different. He didn't care about anything except himself.

And that’s the legacy Ayrton Senna left behind.

Not Monaco, Toleman, or whatever other nonsense...

Who else do you despise in your illustrious life, besides Adolf Hitler and Ayrton Senna, you noble pool cleaner?

You absolute jerk, just let Ayrton Senna go already.......

We’re approaching the 25th anniversary of that tragic accident during a race involving an F1 driver who, in my eyes, remains the greatest to ever sit in a cockpit. I’ve never encountered anyone with more complete skill or character than him...

Here is a really honest, grounded documentary from 1995 about his life:
