Did Senna spear Prost to win the 1990 championship, or was it only coincidence? Road and Track magazine says Senna admitted to it later.



If neither Senna nor Prost finished the race, Senna would win. Well... that was easy to arrange.

In 1994 and 1997 Michael Schumacher crashed into his championship rivals.

  1. Exactly why I never had any respect for Senna. I remember when it happened.

  2. Ah! But Senna got pole but Jean-Marie Balestre (head of the FIA) switched him to the less favourable inside line.

  3. You are being very dishonest by putting that out of context. In the last year Senna was backstabbed and FIA did that crazy change to the inside line (that never happened before or after). Senna was fighting against a rigged system. Stop fake news.

    1. Whoa... you're claiming I'm reporting news? No. I'm telling my readers what Road and Track said.
      You sure you want to stand on your statement that I'm dishonest? Really? Time to back down right now if you've had a change of heart.
      See the revised post, that has not one word changed, and won't.... but I've added a photo of the magazine article for YOU.
      Now, tell me again, I'm what?
      And where is your post about that very moment in Senna's race with Prost, of which I have zero stake in, and send me the link so I can tell my readers what YOU have to say about it.
      You may not realize it, but I'm a fan of Senna, and have the posts to prove it.
      So, man up. Don't talk shit to me. I'm straight with everyone, it's all here on my site for anyone to pull apart and prove otherwise. All 29,400 posts.

    2. As much as I like your site, and have respected your content, you get punched in the nose for saying shit like that to me.

    3. I recommend you re-read the post title, in which I question the issue, then tell readers what Road and Track, a respected 70 year old authority of racing journalism said about it.

    4. See? You still owe me an apology. You don't want that to carry over into next year do you? Of course not.
