I remember the period well - what Senna had up his sleeve was the ace card that was his alliance with the Honda hierachy that sealed Prost's fate - he'd had enough XI'm certain that if you asked Ron Dennis today, he'd xpress his regrets falling victim of Senna's dealings, just as he would be sorry to have let go of Prost, who was there from the beginning and never even came close to such antics.

Oh for goodness sake, this is supposed to be a Mercedes GP thread.JohnsonsEvilTwin wrote:Your right X,
The barefaced cheek the guy had to ask for more money, I mean Senna was never revered by his own peers as the greatest ever or anything.
He was a proper greedo too, keeping all his money for himself....and a few hundred thousand disadvantaged kids from downtown Sao Paolo.
He never did much in a single seater. Only the three WDC's...pah.
Prost didnt ever say "he was my greatest adversary"
And I suppose his memory should be tarnished because a) you need to make a point.
and b) you probably dont appreciate the man.
Senna in a Mercedes? It happened my friend. Watch this and tell me...is F1 better off because of him, or in spite of him?

I know this has no relevance to the thread, but how come you use "ain't" when you're from Scotland? I thought only Americans did that?andrew wrote:Yeah and Mosley being a well educated senior adult should be above creating havoc to further his own vendettas and agendas. But he ain't.
It fitted in, that all. In Scotland, we do our bit to ruin the English language when there isn't a Scotland v England game on the horizon.lolzi wrote:I know this has no relevance to the thread, but how come you use "ain't" when you're from Scotland?

Yes, but geographically I think it's a part of Africa, just like Guadeloupe is geographically a part of America?JohnsonsEvilTwin wrote:Madeira is Portuguese, and therefore European. Canaries are Spanish and also European.
