    Senna was a great driver but he was a schmuck. The only reason he doesn't get nearly the criticism Schumi does is because he died.

    As for the comparison with Schumi's lap at Suzuka, remember those grooved tires have a LOT less grip that the slicks, the cars were MUCH narrower and the FIA did a lot to slow the cars down over those 10 years, so it's not really a telling comparison.

    The comparison with Prost was interesting, but if I remember right Prost was not happy with his car in qualifying and couldn't get the most out of it.

    I give Senna props, but I just don't see the need to deify him.

    This literally brings a tear to my eye. I was watching on TV when the wreck happened and was in a daze for the next week.

    F1 isn't the same for me anymore. I try to get enthused about it, I may even watch an entire race from time to time, but I've not been able to get the enthusiasm back.

    BTW: SolRacer deserves a star for his picture. I've seen it in person and think it captures Senna's last minutes very well.

    Man, I always figured the Dino was a giant, but I've never seen it alongside a new Ferrari.

    I think the one main reason I have no desire to get a new car (save for an Exige, which I could never afford) is because they've all gotten so huge. Plus, 90% of them have a serious badonkadonk arse goin' on. That trend has got to stop.

    Even the formerly economy-sized Carolla and Civic have gotten too chunky for me.

    The comparison laps are cool. The Senna/Prost shows just how early in the lap Senna really gets a jump. Prost was a good driver, but seems outmatched by equipment and skill in that video.

    The comparison with Schumi is truly fascinating. Several years and many advances in the technology and aerodynamics, and Senna is still hanging with Schumi. Impressive.

    Even the Mustang has this problem, to a degree. The newer model has a slightly shorter wheelbase and longer overhangs... but it's six inches wider and three and a half inches taller.

    It's the width that gets me. I parked a bit more than a foot from a back-of-the-lot Mustang GT a couple weeks ago, as a comparison, and was amazed by how wide it was compared to my Volvo (almost an extra 7"). It's only a couple inches shorter, too, and this is a fairly long car...
