    LOL

    Edit: Wow, just read the comments. Many complaining about how they don't race in the wet anymore, lamenting the loss of great sounding cars, etc. Says it all.

    I remember this race...The bridgestones where so horrendously ****, most where 5-8 seconds a LAP of the pace compared to Michelins. Schumacher did well considering...he was 3-4 seconds of the pace IIRC.

    I remember that after Alonso's wheel fell off MS was going to gain a huge haul of points on him but Ferrari, as always, screwed up his strategy and left him out way too long on inters at the end and he was a sitting duck

    The now infamous race losing Italian strategy...lol;)

    :(

    The thing I remember most of that season is Schumacher and Alonso, on equal points, Schumi had just announced his retirement a few weeks prior. Schumacher was leading in the Japanese GP...and in the latter stage of the race his engine went after the degners.

    It was my birthday.

    This was also a race were Alonso "the cheater" saw a yellow flag during qualy and having Michael right behind him, brake very hard, making forcing Michael to overtake him in order to avoid crashing, thus making him get a penalty for overtaking under yellows!! What a sack of ****...

    The greatest of all time passed away in 94, sorry. I feel bad for his current situation but he wasn't always the cleanest driver.

    I don't remember Senna ever being excluded from the entire season like MS was in 1997.

    Though he torpedoed (and told the world beforehand that he would do it!) Prost to get the title.

    And Prost didn't do it to him the year before? An eye for a eye. MS did it because it was his nature.

    Lol, neither was Senna, who MS beat in his first season in F1. But we can argue about who is better between the two until the cows come home. By the time Senna died it was obvious there was a new sheriff in town, though. He was incredibly worried about MS.

    Ummm no

    You mean when Benetton was cheating? I have little doubt had Imola not occurred Senna would have been champ in 94. Heck, Hill should have won after MS freaked out and hit the wall at Adelaide.

    You're right, there's no point in having this discussion, in the end it's only our opinions. Senna might not have always been clean, especially against Prost, but he always seemed to have a justification, even if it didn't make sense. MS just seemed to cheat in order to win, to me. That's why I didn't really like him.

    When engines sounded like engines and not farts.

    And that move on the outside in the wet . . . priceless.

    Uhhhh yes. Good try but his first season was 1992, and Senna took that L.

    Senna started all the the TC BS after schumacher owned him at his home GP forcing him into a mistake that ended his race. The only reason the WDC was close with hill that year was the FIA banning schumacher for multiple races for ignoring a black flag lmao. Never been any ruling like it before or since

    Schumacher was just better, he didnt have to "cheat to win," thats just typical sour grapes from senna fans that saw a better driver come in and rewrite every record.

    Senna is one of the dirtiest drivers of all time so i have no idea where youre coming from anyway

    Ah right, 92. Sorry. 7 DNFs for Senna with a crap box.

    Senna started that? Explain how the FIA actually found the program then. He noticed it as did others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benetton_B194

    I agree, he didn't have to. But he did which is why his legacy will always be tainted. 1997 was a disgrace so was Monaco qualy in 06. Schu was good, great but I will never see him as better. We'll never know for sure who was better so it remains your opinion. A lot of folks don't agree with you on that.


    Really? Other than Suzuka which was Prost's fault. and 1990 which was his, give me some examples. There's many examples of MS's dirty driving. I'd be happy to share them with you.
