Default Real ***** out racing

The video speaks for itself.

http://www.haeferl.at/lyso/Filme/sennavsprost.wmv

The driving, the enthusiasm of the commentator even though I have no idea what they are saying.

Sean who doesn't care if this is a repost, the video is cool as hell.

Wow. Those clips brought back memories of watching those races on ESPN. Senna will always be my favorite driver.

Even though Prost and Senna were teammates they raced like real men. No holds barred and no favorites.

I don't know what ya'll are talking about.

Sean who is confused about himself sometimes... born in Ireland... is Indian... drives a Japanese car... currently listening to some obscure Italian band... while sitting here in good old WV.

But yes those commentators do make it more exciting.

Senna shing wong fok sushi fried chicken Prost wong wok

Sean who thinks they were probably saying that Senna would bitchslap Prost because Prost was supposed to pick up the bar tab the night before.

Don't forget though that the winner back in those days often won by 30 seconds, things haven't changed too much

Agree 100%

We may never see a driver like him, MS is brilliant but lacks the passion and emotion that made Senna so likeable.

Senna's 93 reminded me a lot of Schumacher's 1998. An inferior car, but some storming drives turned them into legends. Schumacher's stock IMHO went down after 2000, when he stopped having to fight for titles. The peak of his career was definitely 1998-2000.

Senna very well could have dominated F1 from 1994-1997 with williams, but we will never know. The fact that he was killed at the height of his career places him on a much higher level than MS in a lot of peoples' minds.

MS is brilliant but lacks the passion and emotion? Are you personal friends with the guy to know he's like that?

Senna and Schumacher were/are in the public eye so much, you can definitely get a good idea of their personalities.

Besides for Monza 2000, I have never seen Schumacher that emotional or passionate about racing. He is a brilliant, cunning race driver. On the podium and in the press room he's very German. Serious, to the point, enjoying success in a professional matter.

Senna on the other hand wore his heart on his sleeve. He was very outspoken, especially about driver safety. I remember him jumping out of his car at Spa in 1992 to check on Eric Comas after he crashed, and he also went to see Barrichello in the hospital after his accident at Imola, and was reportedly "in tears." He was a very emotional driver, for example his wins in Brazil in 1991 and 1993. Senna was very close to the other drivers, many felt that they could go to him and talk about anything (with the exception of Irvine lol). That's something that schumacher will never be.

I don't know, at the moment (and for some time) I don't think there is another driver who displays as much genuine happiness/pleasure every time on the podium as MS does after a win. This guy has won more races than anyone before yet it still seems he enjoys his victories more than anyone else. But it is true however, that once in the interview room, or any interview for that matter he seems very calculated and displays an all business attitude. Honestly, in my book these are the kinds of calculated/controlled drivers that I rank at the top of my list. I liked Senna because he had unbelievable talent, not because he was emotional. What a contrast between him and The Professor. Except for their great talent, they couldn't have been more different.

Im not trying to bash on anyone nor favor MS. But if your getting paid 50mil a year to race and are the most recognized driver in F1 today, representing Ferrari, you kind of have to leave emotions aside and get down to business. However were talking about two totally different people. Both born in totally different countries.

I think Scott started that particular trend.

Shaun - who isn't quite sure, because it was probably before his time.
