Not much news on Schumachers' condition (skiing accedent). Family and friends aren't saying much. With that much money they can keep the media at bay. All I've been able to find is that he is at home undergoing physical therapy and that he is improving. No info on the extent of the brain injury or to what degree he is expected to recover.


You press the "quote" button for the specific post you want to reply to. Just like I did here. It's located on the right side of the post.

I like your nickname senna! Nice!

For those here who don't know, Ayrton Senna was a Formula 1 driver in the late 80s and early 90s who became widely known as being the virtuoso of Formula One racing as he was an incredibly skilled driver especially during rainy weather where he drove twice as fast in the rain than the other drivers. He was incredible. There was a movie made about his life called "Senna" released in 2010. He was a very strong Christian man from Brazil and a very patriotic Brazilian to be sure. He dated Xuxa for a brief period as well. The rivalry between Senna and Alan Prost during those 10 years was unmatched in all of sports history. Those two were out to kill each other every time they got into the car.

He died during a Formula 1 race in the early 90s from a hard impact into the wall. Everyone should go see this movie as it's a great story about Senna's life.

He will go down in history as being Formula One's greatest driver ever.
Excellent mini-bio of the "Rain King"

Some old timers (even older than me. yes they're still out there) would say Fangio was the greatest F1 one driver, but no one would dispute the fact that Senna had far more innate talent than any other driver in the history of motorsports. Brilliant! I watched all of those races; the ones televised, and Senna was on a completely different/higher level. I watched that race live (Imola 5/1/94) and it didn't look that bad. Not that much structural damage to the car, unlike the fatal crash of Ratzenberger the day before. Even Barrichellos' wreck in practice looked worse. Apparently a piece of the steering linkage went through Sennas' visor. His sister Viviane filed a lawsuit against Williams. Not sure what became of that. Clearly there was a mechanical issue: Brake failure, steering failure, throttle? He just went staight off the track at full speed. Horrorable weekend. FIA should have cancel the race after Ratzenbergers' death.

FYI: Viviane had a movie made called " A star named Ayrton Senna". Obviously similar to "Senna", but with more focus on his personal life. You should check it out. It's out of print and was only relesed on VHS but Amazon has some used copies.

Anyway, are you following this season?

Haha thanks. I have a real eye for the shining stars of any sporting events or field and Senna certainly was a shining star. I don't follow Formula One that closely anymore but I'm still very much interested in it. I'm still pissed that they're moving towards a more green energy initiative which is pathetic and I wish they would just carry on with the "greater horsepower more speed" mentality rather than hugging trees all the time.

Senna really stood out for me because of his incredible skill and the fact he was such a brave Christian man who stood up to a bully like Alan Prost. I can really easily identify personally with him. Such an incredible man he was. I was born in '75 so I got to watch many of those races live on TV. He was awesome!

I will have to look into this movie you mentioned called "A Star Named Ayrton Senna." It sounds interesting!

:D
