"To be specific, he was responsible for the appalling driving ethics that have now permeated down through all levels of motorsport, he risked the life of another driver by deliberately crashing into him at high speed, & he refused to have as a team mate a driver that he thought might challenge him"
WHAT! Senna is the cause of some t**t binning someone else? so that never happened before Senna raced? really? so you never saw it while you were karting back in the day?? really??
anyway, Prost got outqualified by 1.5 secs at monaco while they were team-mates, appx 2 years BEFORE he won his last title. Was Prost past his best then? and if you say he still was but just won with a better car, then explain Mansell winning it, and Hill, and Villeneuve.
Senna did veto certain team-mates, but so did others.
As for Fullerton kicking Senna's ass, think thats a slight exageration. Obviously Fullerton was better but Senna got close which I think is pretty impressive when you compare an 18yr old to a 28 yr old.
I have nothing but respect for these guys. but you obviously have figured out why the guys in touring cars bump each other of the road occassionally, it turns out its NOT hard racing, its SENNA!
