None really just getting a bit phollos.... phillisof .... fillosophi... follosiph... philosophic.
And just remembering the great man.

how do you know he was a great man??? ok he could drive really well, but that doesnt make him a great man!!
-
Maybe great is the wrong word. But he did aquire worldwide respect and admiration. Had he lived, Schumacher would not be a 4 time world champion, possibly not even a double WC.

Maybe so but you don\'t have a baby next to your name. And have you been banned three times?

Yeah but does anyone else know who the hell that guy is? i mean... was?
And further more, 8 isn\'t a memorative number. It\'s 10 or 5, etc. You know what I\'m talking about. Why hasn\'t this been closed yet? No one is talking about the guy.

Yes. He was among the most successful F1 racers in history. Probably the best driver in the world. But he\'d also run down his own mother if she was in the way....just like he did to his nemesis...I forgot his name. ;) Basically, it was the last race of the season....this guy was in position to score and beat Ayrton.
What did Ayrton do? He crashed his car into that guy\'s car. Ayrton wins the season by preventing the other guy from scoring.
Machiaveli would have been proud! :D

Yeah, he was only one of the best Formula 1 drivers ever and very famous. :rolleyes:

Blah, I think the mods will decide that. And guess what? This is staying.

I remember seeing that race live on Sky TV (when we had it) I think most people thought "oh he\'ll be ok!" Until the news came from race officials. He was one of the greatest. A sad day for motor racing it was.

That would be Alain Prost at the Japanese GP in 1990, but it wasn\'t the last race, it was the penultimate one.
And yes he did do that, but do you know why? Take the following into account, a driver with an abundance of latin spirit & drive, puts in a fantastic lap time to claim pole position from a man who he vowed would NEVER get the better of him. And as by right, the pole position slot on the grid should ALWAYS be on the racing line(ie on the clean side). Now AFTER claiming pole, the grid markings were switched round, meaning that Senna was on the inside row (on the dirty side of the track) which would be to his disadvantage at the start. Now, because of this, he felt that he was unjustly treated. Before the race, he had already (with the full support of the McLaren boss) decided that there was absolutely no way that Prost was going to get into the first corner in front of him. Basically, his method of thinking was this- At the start of the race, he was going to go for that corner full blood, and either Prost would back down, or they would both go out, either way, he had already decided that the Frenchman wasn\'t going to come out of it on top.
That was his style, he was an agressive (on cooaisions a little too much so) driver, who was in the way of thinking "I\'m coming through, it\'s up to you whether you want to finish the race or not, if you get out of the way, you may well do so.... If not.... who knows?"
At the end of the day, if you want to understand why he did what he did in Japan, you have to understand and appreciate his absolute detestation for Alain Prost. In Senna\'s own words "I was designed to win, second doesn\'t interest me... Second is for the guy who wasn\'t good enough"
And for 8 long & depressing years now Schumacher has ruled the roost, so to speak. But finally, there is a new driver around who has already made it clear that he won\'t back down in a confrontation...... And his name is JUAN PABLO MONTOYA!!!!
He is just like Senna was, and he lives by the same line of thought, "never back down at any cost, it\'s better to crash out whilst in the lead, than to drive round and round in second".

And that was some entertaining reading material Jaye. Thanks for the History lesson…if you can consider 8 years ago to be such “history”. I love racing and if I had the passion you have displayed here I would definitely take a good look into becoming a race commentator or something in that field anyway.;)

It was David Beckhams birthday yesterday. Happy birthday David.

i guess because it doesnt have a funny picture in it, you shouldnt care less?
baah
nice reading Jaye, although it does sound to me like he did do an unsportsman like thing, and you are just trying to justify what he did through reasoning, purely because you have a non-sexual man love (or is it sexual??) for him.. :)
:fro: toot on

In 1990 Senna won the world title in the second-to-last race, in Japan, where he purposely drove into the back of Prost’s car and pushed it off the track. “What he did was more than unsporting,” said Prost, who retired after last season. “It was disgusting. . . . With him, racing isn’t a sport; it’s war.” The crash took Senna’s car out, too, but he had his championship. A year later Senna admitted having used his car as a weapon against Prost.
Don\'t get me wrong. I like Senna.

while I was always a Mansell fan, Senna was a great driver and full respect to the guy. I remember the day he died, it was shocking.
