Re. Schumacher - get real, the man in your avatar doesn't have a glorified 'black-and-white' history in his (tragically) short-lived career, does he (I can see exactly what your aim is here :roll: )?

Senna set the standards, for which, the next generation of drivers emulated. I love how Senna fans jump on Michael, yet, they seem to forget he intentionally took out Prost in Japan and won the title. If fans such as yourself, brand Schumacher a cheat. What is Senna then?

When you go through what Senna did, he was no different to Schumacher: they were both ruthless drivers, that's all there is to it.
zypho,

You should really look into Schumacher's career a bit more before trying to compare the two.

Per Suzuka 1990...put yourself in Senna's shoes. You got screwed in '89 because of Balestre who had to protect his little buddy, and he was about to get screwed again in 1990 per the switching of the pole position. He fought back...I suppose you would just take it lying down though, no?

As for setting the standards?

Outside of Suzuka 1990, please give me a list of all the races in which Senna did things underhanded as Schumacher did.

P.S. I can verify any of it as I have almost a quarter century worth of F1 races, and I do have every race Senna drove from 1984 to 1994.

Plus, DC caused the most awesome crash ever at the start of that race, so it's only fair to give him credit :P

If I can remember , The camera's couldnt see what actually happened to DC at the start of the first start. Did he just drop it on his own ? or could he have been tipped into a spin ? he certainly veered across the track pretty quickly!
My understanding was that he got his front right stuck in the gutter going around La Source, and then never quite recovered the car.

I have to say, If in 1995 Hill had the chance to do to Schumacher what Schumacher did to Hill the year before, EVERYONE would have accepted it.
If in 1998 Villeneuve had the chance to repay Schumacher what he tried in 1997 EVERYONE would have accepted it.

So..... Senna repaying Prost the year after , in my opinion was acceptable. Especially when Senna was fighting not only Prost , but the FIA aswell.

He who makes the first atempt to use his car as a battering Ram must be punished. Prost, Schumacher, Maldonado!

Please expand. How have you reached your wild assumption?

Do you have any evidence in the form of trade literature or in-depth professional studies to give any creedance to your curveball theory?
