"There's only one target and that is to win the championship."

@fuster77 This is not history, this is you simple understanding. Senna had only the best car in 1988 & 89. Schum did have it many more. And most of the rest, he had a very good car. Also Senna who was known by all the F1 world years before ( from F-Ford) began in a poor Toleman despite having being tested by Williams, Mclaren, Brabham (& finaly Toleman). Schum who was known by none but Mercedes/Sauber began with Jordan who was for instance battling against McLaren at Mexico in 91 !

@GTAGIS Senna was great but he had the super car in those years( mclaren honda power),Schumacher won without having always a super car,also many times he won with strategy and cleaverness, this is story.

that lady behind ,micheal is she the press person as i remember her at ferari



[shirfield]

i think what we were anoyed about is that the order wasnt given by stefino who is the boss at frari and as EJ said they give to order i can understand if one driver is way ahed or it the last couple of races but to do it halfway though the season cos they only won in uk that year also what is becomming clear is that the ig teams are not doing welland the midfield or lower budget tems are up the top

Schumacher will never be a myth as Senna, Prost, Mansell, vileneve! It is the shame of F1 after 1994! F1 will never be !!!!!!!!!!!!!! died after 1994! this is fact!

[heliumtrophy]

It was an extremely good point well made by Michael. Just look at what happened at McLaren with Prost V Senna and later Alonso V Hamilton. Clearly there has to be a fine line with team orders but you can easily see that without team orders, you have drivers - grown men - acting like insolent babies. Even still though, it's a tough call and a tough sell.

@GTAGIS doesnt matter if you win by 100 seconds or 0.001 seconds, winnings winning!!!!

Schumacher could have 30000 world champion, it won't change the fact that he was only 0.2 faster than Rubinho while having all the support of the team ! He would never be great at Senna, and not even great as Gilles Villeneuve for instance.
