Estoril was a beautiful and well designed track. 1st and 2nd curves have been destroyed and overtaking points are fewer nowadays.

and to piss off more schumi fans, with a uncompetitive TOLEMAN(wikipedia) Senna's performance in the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix brought him a lot of attention. He qualified 13th on the grid and made rapid progress through the soaking streets of Monte Carlo. By lap 19, he passed second-place man Niki Lauda and began to cut the gap to race leader Alain Prost. Before he could pass Prost the race was stopped on lap 31 for safety reasons as the rain grew even heavier. With a TOLEMAN...

Watch Adelaide 1989 - it was very wet, Senna did many mistakes and crashed. Watch Belgium 1992 and 1995 (from 16th to 1st), Spain 1996, Monaco 1997, Hungary 1998, Japan 2000 - fabulous Schumacher's victories in very wet conditions. Senna's victories in wet tracks - 13; Schumacher's - 16. Senna was unable to do on Lotus what Schummi did on Benetton (specially with Ford in 1994!). I'm only sorry not to see more battles between them. They would shut up you...

yea.... ferrari r apparently very easy to drive in the wet in those days, and sennas cars were vry primative by r standards

16 victories on wet in how many years!?!?!?! Did you also considered that Schumacher's Ferrari had traction control? and an automatic gearbox?! Senna raced a V10 engine, with a manual gearbox, and NO traction control on the wet? did you also consider that the greatest rival of Schumacher was Hakkinen, and Senna raced Lauda, Prost, Mansell and Hill?! you talked about the Benneton in 94?! you never watched F1!!!!

F1 improved across the years, but had been under many limitations. Senna drove cars with 1400hp, while the MS's best had only 950hp. All the teams improved their cars, but Benetton and Ferrari never achieved such good results as they did with MS (and his opponents were as good as Senna's). On the other hand Toleman (Benetton), Lotus, Williams had been champion with other drivers but not with Senna - he was unable to improve a car and wanted always the best.

Have you ever tried to handle 1400 HP on a car with waaaay less aerodynamic?! It isn't only power... and NO, MS NEVER had an opponent such as Prost, Mansell Lauda and etc... you cannot compare Mika Hakkinen, Hill or Alonso with guys like Mansell, Lauda, Piquet, Prost.. I do think that MS is a great driver, above average, for sure... but not as talented as Senna...

ur wrong hunt2727, benetton had a Ford HBA8 3.5 V8 engine on 93, while mclarem had Ford HBE7 3.5 V8, as u can see mclaren got this engine as a COSTUMER, u lost your chance to be quiet!

I believe Villeneuve was a great driver and had a huge potencial, but we cannot say he would made Senna cry as he was killed in that terrible car crash so early in his career...
