Amazing to think he once did most of that GP stuck in fifth and still finished second (if my memory is right). Not to mention the time he first won for Ferrari in the lashing rain.

:up: For me, this confirms just how much ahead of him the 'new breed' in F1 is now. He set the benchmark, and now the new guard has moved the goalposts way out of his league.Quote:

So three out of the 5 races this season has seen him have very bad luck. To shout for his retirement over a silly incident such as yesterday is premature and hasty given what bad luck he has had in this season most of which were factors that were simply out of his control.
Do you mean Ayrton or Bruno? :laugh:Quote:

If (this is a huge if) Ayrton hadn't so sadly and suddenly lost his life I believe that he'd be more successful than Schumacher.
Both M. Schumacher and A. Senna are/were great people, did lots of charity work.
As for Bruno as far as I've seen it seems that the driving trait has skipped a generation but we'll have to wait and see, won't we? ;)
Maybe he should watch over a few of his uncles old races and take notes (no disrespect intended)
Guy.
hahah, you can't put them aside, but yes, there is no perfect driver and never was.Quote:
