Schumacher wouldn't have walked away with that 1994 title if he hadn't plowed straight into Hill... he snatched it through sheer dirty tactics. Hill almost had him in his sights and could've been champion, let alone Senna... those people who claim they were actually watching Senna can go ahead and enjoy this incredibly dull era of F1

If you haven't actually watched Senna race, you might as well just keep talking nonsense... go watch Hamilton and this boring version of F1 instead.

So, why don't you walk us through this "driving style" of his?

Like, what makes him better than, say, Prost's or Schumacher's? Or even Hill's?

Schumacher missed two races. That’s an easy 20 points right there.

If he hadn't sat those two out, the gap would've been 29 points.

1 + 20 (two wins) + 8 (difference between first and second twice)

What Senna haven't they watched? You mean the Senna from Asif Kapadia's doc? Is that the one you're talking about?

Nah, thanks. We couldn't care less about that glorified little fairy tale documentary.

And unfortunately—judging by your posts—that's probably the only "Senna" you've ever actually seen.

I watched it! Am I not allowed to have an opinion?😁

The greatest driver of all time.

That’s definitely not how you pray to dear God.

The guy's such an egomaniac he's basically praying to himself—look at that "altar," it's just his helmet sitting right there in front of him. That photo tells you everything you need to know. Total Narcissus, head over heels for his own reflection. So yeah, he's just worshipping himself.

At least if he prays to himself, someone is actually listening...

Thanks for this video. If we are talking about raw pace, he is easily the fastest driver to ever sit in a cockpit. Perhaps one could argue for Clark, but strictly on pure speed, it's him.

And certainly the greatest wet-weather specialist to ever live. That race in Portugal was nothing short of a miracle.

Back then, Senna was the best, right alongside Prost. He had a certain status, a kind of aura that I don't think any driver will ever touch again. Maybe things would have been different if he had stayed with us.

My bad, I was in a huge rush and just looking for a quick way to handle things.
Anyway, you know Ayrton Senna was a total legend. It was wild when he grabbed Michael Schumacher by the collar in the box and gave him a piece of his mind.

Trolling this board and using a deceased man just to mess with other users is strictly forbidden and honestly pretty pathetic.

The mods will handle the technical side of things.

And Irvine, too—just throwing punches in the pit lane.

It’s pretty funny to see someone who pulled those kinds of unsportsmanlike stunts on the track suddenly acting like they have the moral high ground to lecture anyone else.🤦

So, in this case, Michael Schumacher basically goaded him on the track, and they ended up grabbing a drink together afterward. It was way back in '92 during testing.
A legend is a legend. Period.

legend Btw1, I honestly feel for Michael Schumacher too. He was such a massive figure, and seeing him end up like that... it just hits hard.

Exactly. Things might have played out quite differently if he hadn't been taken from us. 👍

He lived for the moment, pure and simple, and left us with one hell of a show. Mythos!
The only other guy who reached that kind of legendary status was Niki Lauda, you know, the man who literally stared death in the face and walked away.
