Wow... that's a cool article. I like that the reporter stood there dumb founded when Senna mentioned Mike's name... "uh... who?!?!?"
Another good point was made later about talent getting passed up because of a lack of fundage/sponsorship. On a (much) smaller scale we've talked about some of that around here. Cool find...

Fernando Alonso had similar comments about the current F1 grid; that he felt he raced against better drives in karting that werent as lucky as he was to get a seat.

Good article and a sad commentary on the amount of talent and money it takes to make it in F1 or any race series at that. Don't know whether to happy or sad.

Just because he was sleeping at the clutch doesn't mean he wasn't going to.
