Legend. I'll never forget watching that race at Imola on the TV. In fact after his death F1 has never really been the same again. Mainly due to all the safety features and driver aids used to try and stop something like that happening again.

[Matt Sayle]

True legend. Shame he was before my time :(

[whitey]

will watch this over the weekend i think, before the F1 on sunday if i can

[badgerbaiter]

i hate to break this to you, but he's not really dead.
He faked the whole thing when he realised Shumacher was going to kick his butt from now until the 12th of never!

I would suggest reading Graham Hill, James Hunt, Barry Sheene, Joey Dunlop biogs once you've finished with Senna pod.

[badgerbaiter]

actually even the Nigel Mansell story is a good read.

Senna = Legend its all you need to know

[badgerbaiter]

Senna = Legend its all you need to know

not in everyone eyes.
he was fast certainly.. But just like shumacher he was a cheat.
His life story isnt even that interesting. Born to a rich family, beat martin brundle, won in portugal in the wet, crashed into prost, got crashed into by prost, passed some people down craner curves (whilst Andretti did exactly the same thing behind him), got beaten by schumacher who was in a slower car, then died.

Not saying he wasnt one of the fastest drivers ever to live, but i'm not a fan of his legend status, and I think there have been significantly better drivers before him and since with much more interesting stories.

WHS.

Like Schumacher, blotted his copybook too many times with cheating when he didn't need to.

[Kev_mk3]

NO one is perfect! TBH i dont like Schumacher the spoon faced German - but again i HATE hamilton as he never loses his rag and (pardon the pun) Brown noses everyone.

Sennas greatest work FOR ME is the Honda NSX what i would do to have a go in one

[MikeeB]

Ahh Senna and Prost..what a rivalry that was.

[whitey]

i seem to have started a wars lol

i never really liked schui as he was do darn good, even though ferrari were sly at times in allowing him winning (making others slow down, pull over etc)

Hamilton on the other hand i disagree with the comments in all honesty, he remains calm (or comes across as being calm) and if people read his book they will understand why he makes time for his fans signing saying hello and all of that

no matter how good people are at the jobs there always going to have someone that hates them

i cant wait 'til next year when hopefully Alonso has a decent car and the rivalry starts again as it was fantastic last year

LOL
yup, that would fit in nicely.. expect them to add another chapter to his biography very soon :)

[whitewash]

biogs worth a read-
-graham hill
-perry mcarthy
-jackie stewarts (bar the arse kissing section of the book)
-nicki lauda (more technical than a biography actually)
-barry sheene


i really dont understand how a lewis hamilton biography can be worth the time to read, as most of them will have been written in summer '07 and prior to that he didnt REALLY have much of an exciting rise through the lesser ranks (he won everything on the way up) which to me isnt an exciting read. the fact ive seen all these biographys in remaindered stores makes me laugh as well

i just think that if your gonna have a biography, you should have atleast done something of note prior to writing it!



and yes, i bet the jordan autobiogs are a thrilling read........

[zooki]

pssh, just read wiki, obviously everything is completely true and its free.:p
