Remembering Ayrton Senna

mellowtiger83 said:I asked you a very simple question: how much time did he lose to that car that was two seconds faster by the end? It shouldn't be difficult.

And what about that situation back in the Suzuki 1988?

Honestly, who cares about some ancient history or whatever happened back then? It's gone. Just put them both in modern cars today and let's see who's actually faster. That’s all I care about—who's winning right now. That's the only thing that matters. If it weren't for Jackie Stewart, he'd be sitting in a Mercedes-Benz today. But he isn't. Because he's old.

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

Fortunately.

Ayrton Senna possesses truly staggering statistics; just 160 starts yielded three championships, 41 wins, and 65 pole positions.

It might not seem all that remarkable on paper, but when you consider he wasn't even driving the top car during '84, '85, '86, '87, '92, or '93—and spent '88 and '89 splitting his machinery with Alain Prost, all while battling equally lightning-fast cars in 1990 and 1991—that data becomes something else entirely.

He achieved this during an era when winning in F1 was arguably at its most difficult due to the sheer depth of the competition.

Remarkable.

One can also tip a hat to Alain Prost for the fact that he was much more frequently seated in the superior car.

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.

Fulcrum solved🙂.

By the way, thanks for all those intense video clips online. Truly impressive work; it's a massive undertaking.

If any of this actually helped someone, then it was worth the effort. I haven't been uploading much lately—hardly ever, really. Mostly just some old qualifying sessions. I just don't have the time anymore.
Convince Tibia to grab a coffee; he mentioned wanting to meet the man behind it all. 🙂

Whose junk pile is this?

How Eric Comas attempted to save Ayrton Senna at Imola.

Stumbled upon this by accident.

Ayrton Senna was simply the greatest, most dominant, and fastest driver in Formula 1 history.

What kind of imaginary ruler did you use to measure that?

Pure myth.

I follow points one and three perfectly well, but the second remains elusive to me. Perhaps my cognitive faculties have simply declined over the years.
