I notice that all these Mclaren fans are quick to condemn michael for the questionable tactics he used to win titles but never look at what senna did as well. He deliberately crashed his car into Prost at japan in 1990 to win the title. No different to what schumacher did to hill.

If you have read my posts on Senna Prost, you would see im not denying he took Prost out dude, Payback for the previous year just evening things out
difference is Schumi lambs think he did no wrong i mean even a blind man could have seen HIll along side him in that corner! no excuse to turn in on him like that!

Correct. What Senna did in 1990 was just, as far as I'm concerned. Schumacher swinging into Hill and Villeneuve, and parking his car at the Rascasse in Monaco were just moves of desperation because he was being beaten fair and square.

Senna also did it because he had been assured pole position would be on the clean side of the track - which it wasn't - and he warned if it cost him at the start he would go flat out into turn 1.

He even warned everyone he would do it. So when it DID happen, everyone was like "oh my god i can't believe he just did that".
The man was a true character

Alonso tried to be "cool like dat" at Hungary with Lewis... guess it didn't turn out to as funny after all

Alonso no way has the style of Senna! However i disliked some of senna's tactics (His driving none the less was sublime) When schumacher arrived he took dirty tactics to a new level but like Alonso he did not have senna's style...he was just crass.

There would be ALOT less argueing amongst member's here if you all would just STFU and not question bud and his opinion because we all know it's the truth!

there would be alot less arguing if everyone just jumped on the Schumacher bandwagon as well eh?

You know I was just having a friendly shot mate nothing more !

Not all of us think like that bud as I was very disheartened by his action's that day. What seem's to be the issue imho is that the MS detractor's keep relying upon 2-3 questionable ontrack action's within his entire career and constantly use those as an opportunity to discredit his accomplishment's. For instance I alway's support Senna and never bring some of his questionable ontrack antic's into how I feel about him and what he meant to me and to F1 as a whole.
