The Rothmans Williams from the early Nineties 👍

Driver: Jochen Mass
Car: MARCH 821

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_821

That MARCH was basically just a rip-off inspired by the Williams FW07—that's about all the Williams influence you get there.

I don't need any connection to the military to enjoy watching a sexy soldier manning a machine gun.

See? I can't even tell if it's a machine gun or just an assault rifle.

But since everything about this is pure testosterone, let's just say the woman in me got pretty turned on watching that clip.

Pilate's is educating and enlightening us, apparently confirmed more times than anyone can count.

To stay on topic (as I said before:

I wonder what Joe would say to this???

You're just too sweet for words, seriously.😳

Look at this guy—an absolute expert on German quality. Unbelievable.

cosmiccyclist8 said:And another thing—if Alain Prost were being honest, there would be some hint that Ayrton Senna’s aggressive move would force him toward the middle of the track rather than the actual racing line. He even mentioned being worn out by Ayrton Senna's dangerous maneuvers, where he's always the one having to yield, claiming his door would be closed—but honestly, Ayrton Senna was just way too far back.

If Alain Prost had that huge rear wing to tweak at the last moment, Ayrton Senna could've used the slipstream on the descent to overtake him right before R130. Instead, because Alain Prost has less drag, his top speed on the straights is higher, leaving Ayrton Senna with zero slipstream advantage. That's the whole reason the overtake attempt happened at the slowest section of the circuit.

He does. He just doesn't show up mid-race—or during sex, work, or breakfast...

Can we please drop the whole "Benetton used traction control" thing already?

It’s been 25 years! A literal quarter-century!

Seriously, don't you think someone from Benetton's crew would've spilled the beans by now?

Everything eventually comes to light—Singapore 2008, Lance Armstrong, even McLaren photocopying Ferrari's designs. It all comes out.

Do you honestly believe nothing would have leaked in 25 years? That nobody would have talked?

Why hasn't anyone come forward in 25 years!?

Because there’s absolutely nothing to talk about!

No need for a psych ward here—I'm not actually hurting anyone.

Just exercising my right to free speech. You know, the kind protected by the laws of the country I live in.

cosmiccyclist8 said:At the end of the day, you just look at the final standings—that erratic Benetton era wasn't really Hill's burden to bear. That was all before Flavio stepped in. Hill ended up losing out by a single point.

edit: Honestly, that Flavio guy always seemed to be running some kind of scheme.

Yeah, sure—so he finished with one less point after 16 races compared to Schumacher's 14. And don't even get me started on those disqualifications across 12 races.

Also, two of Benetton's losses had nothing to do with an illegal car. It was just some rule-breaking at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where they overtook Hill during the warm-up lap. It didn't affect the actual start or the race at all since they lined up normally from P2 while Hill took P1.

That’s exactly why Schumacher got screwed out of two Benetton wins

Actually... not really!

It was done so the FIA could "save" the championship drama

cosmiccyclist8 said:Giving up. I might as well stop trying.

btw that Williams 👍 livery is honestly so cool 👍 and what a beast that car was—that Renault V10 was an absolute gem 👍 though it could be a total nightmare to drive sometimes, super twitchy and wild, but God, Hill managed to tame it beautifully. He snatched that championship by the skin of his teeth using 👍

If Hill had a 4-race lead...

Schumacher only actually raced 14 out of 16, and he got disqualified twice in those 14.

So Hill actually lost by 41 points, not just 1.

cosmiccyclist8 said:Imola '89—that moment when the saint decided to completely ignore the non-aggression pact. 😁

I just really want to know what kind of apology he gave after the race. 😁 Probably something like "I saw a massive gap and I couldn't resist taking the shot." 🤣

There you go. Everyone trashes Didier Pironi, but nobody touches Ayrton Senna. Both guys did the exact same thing—on the same damn track.

That’s basically all the "objectivity" you get from this planet of monkeys.

cosmiccyclist8 said:Ugh, I need a translation again—my English is absolute garbage lately.
here's the post https://forums.autosport.com/topic/1...zuka/?p=253220

if anyone could translate this for me

It wouldn’t happen. Prost was World Champion, and Senna found himself with a burning sense of injustice. Those flames of personal indignation would continue to be fanned in his heart. That was the only place I could overtake,” he explained, “and somebody who should not have been there just closed the door and that was that. The results as they stand provisionally do not reflect the truth of the race in either the sporting sense or the sense of the regulations. I see this result as temporary.

??

Basically? Total complex. He was stealing setups from Alain Prost. Betrayed him at Imola in '89. His only goal was being better than Alain Prost—which is why he fell behind Michael Schumacher in '94, because his drive, his time, and his speed just evaporated.

Bottom line: a narcissistic mess with sociopathic tendencies. And the whole damn world worships him.

Planet of monkeys.

Honestly, if I actually believed in anything, I’d say God basically punished Senna for his own ego. It’s just like back in Monaco in '88—he wasn't just trying to beat Alain Prost, he was trying to humiliate him. So, God decided to slam him into the barrier instead.

By '94, Senna couldn't handle the fact that Michael Schumacher was simply faster, so he started throwing out those fake accusations about illegal TC usage. And once again, God sent him straight into the wall. A much harder hit this time, though.

See? You can look at it from a religious angle too if you want.

mellowtiger83 said:Maybe for you—but for someone with actual faith, there’s definitely something to it!

He became an inspiration to so many people, and honestly, you can't put a price tag on that.

Since when does God encourage competition, anyway?

Since when does God reward one person just for being better than someone else?

Aren't we all equal in the eyes of God?

Both Giovanni Lavaggi and Ayrton Senna.

mellowtiger83 said:That’s basically why the whole Senna thing is so magical—he was never satisfied, even when he took the win. He was always pushing way harder than he actually needed to.

Especially back when he was racing against Alain Prost; he seemed hell-bent on just crushing him for reasons only he understood.

Which is pretty wild if you consider his religious side!

Whatever. Just one thing... You guys are basically worshiping a common kamikaze.

Being "better" than Alain Prost doesn't mean anything now. It hasn't made his time in the ground any easier.

Walter Anderson43 said:yeah, Senna's whole fault was having a steering rack snap at Tamburell

Exactly. Honestly, he had a car capable of second place—he should've just taken it. Instead, he kept messing with the setup—demanding shorter steering racks and whatnot. He basically drove himself off a cliff.

Nelson Piquet, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, or Jackie Stewart would've been perfectly happy with P2 that day.

And that's why they're still around, while Senna isn't.

Walter Anderson43 said:You're the only joke here with takes like that.

Senna's own strategy is what turned him into the GOAT—Prostov and Balestre just managed to piss off every driver who actually backed Senna and hated their political games.

Maybe watch a few more documentaries before talking—don't embarrass yourself.

Senna's whole approach is exactly what got him killed at 34.

Being the greatest driver ever doesn't mean much when you're currently six feet under.
Remembering Ayrton Senna in Formula 1 ·
mellowtiger83 said:Right. As if any driver in history would ever concede a championship fight when there's nothing to lose. Not Lewis Hamilton, not Sebastian Vettel, not Fernando Alonso... honestly, not even Alain Prost himself if he had been in Ayrton Senna's shoes.

Besides, that isn't the point. The point is that Ayrton Senna didn't force Alain Prost off the track, and he wasn't penalized because there was no basis for a penalty.

And I highly doubt he wouldn't have been penalized if there had been even a hint of grounds for one.

It’s absurd, really, how this has been dragged out to the point where someone would mention the Brazilian in the context of attempted murder, based solely on a statement he made that the media—as per usual—decided to blow completely out of proportion.

Peter Collins basically handed the championship title over to Juan Manuel Fangio

Do some homework.
Uneducated idiot.

Walter Anderson43 said:People can argue all they want on this forum, but the reality remains—drivers from several different generations have consistently named Ayrton Senna as the greatest to ever do it.

The truth is, there hasn't been—and likely won't be—another driver who defined an entire era of Formula 1 quite like him; he possessed a unique ability to command the attention of the entire sport through both his skill and his persona.

To be honest, I was only four years old on May 1st, 1994—probably just playing in a sandbox while the adults were busy at a backyard BBQ—but the fact remains that every May 1st for the last decade, I’ve felt a profound sense of sadness, mourning that devastating day when the greatest left us.

With all due respect to Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, Juan Manuel Fangio, Gilles Villeneuve, and the rest—when you define a true character, you don't look at trophies, salaries, wealth, or records; you look at the depth of their impact on those around them and how long they remain in people's hearts. He is remembered by those who watched him live, those who were just being born, and he will be remembered by those yet to come.

Rest in peace, legend.

There you go. Even today's NASCAR drivers who voted him the GOAT were also just messing around in a sandbox back on May 1st, 1994. So much for "facts."
