And while it was interesting, it didn't really contain any great new insight into Senna (which is probably to be expected given the sheer number of books and articles written about him in the last fifteen years). My main issue with it though is the photos, which the author claims are his own. Now I wouldn't want to call him a liar but I seem to remember some of those picture published previously in a book that I owned by Keith Sutton titled "Senna: A personal Tribute". I don't suppose it matters really, but I just wondered! I just wanted so say that I’ve read the above article.

We can never know or understand the pressures he worked under , which were very different to those of say Moss or Clark , so for any of us to stand in judgement is flawed as we don't have a grasp of the circumstances - indeed Nigel has often commented that we the public know little of the truth as to what goes on behind the scenes for fear of publications that would inform us being sued - how i wish this were different.

On the subject of Senna, I'll never forgive him for his antics with Prost. They were those of a spoiled brat. And I wasn't over-impressed with the way he kept Derek Warwick out of his team.

I mean he admitted he took Prost out deliberately in 1990 for example. If only certain German's had the character to admit such things.
