Blitzkrief. You seem to have fallen into the trap of idolising and romanticising the ones who die....Senna was a great driver, but he had his flaws. Do check his history and you will see he was as 'unsporting' and 'cunning' as Schumi...in fact, Schumi was just emulating Senna when he took out Damon Hill to win his first championship. Senna too, before he tragically died, was as hated and loved a figure as Schumi. Perhaps the hallmark of all great drivers is the controversy they create as they strive to raise the bar and set new standards. And please note that setting new standards is not the same as setting new records! As for Alonso, I cheered for him in 2005...then came his embarrassing behaviour in the second half of 2006. Till then he was gung ho...even cocky... and full of praise for Renault and team make Fisichella. Then as Ferrari stormed back following the American leg, the moaning started. He accused everyone, starting from F1 authoroties to rivals Ferrari to even his own team and team mate, of conspiring against him. Is that what you call 'sporting' behaviour? As for his driving skill, I assure you Hamilton has more skill in his little finger. Take it from an avid F1 follower and someone who knows racing from the inside.
