I lost respect for both drivers for their antics to win the wdc. Senna is now gone and prost is relegated to an uminmportant level so they are no longer a subject of recenmt conversation.
When I mention them it is to put reference to the days we are in noww and how it relates.
Both were great drivers, neither liked each other although I understand that prost tried to become friends with senna and was shut out.
The reality is that they actually started the current form of winning at all cost. The fia should have banned all their results for their action in the year they crashed each other out and that would have sent a clear message to the younger drivers that this form of competition is not acceptable.
Maybe if they had we wouldnt be talking about a team principle, the cheif engineer and a child throwing a race.

Well he drove his race with all the innocence of a white dove. :-
In reality, Alonso can’t afford to do anything that would further cause Renault embarrassment. Its not his responsibility to renounce the win, it is the responsibility of the FIA to take it away from him.
Who knows if the FIA will sanction him for renouncing the win.

Why should he – keith, maybe you should start writing for the Daily Mail..

You claim to be a serious F1 enthusiast, but the only person I am losing respect for out of this whole affair is unfortunately you..

Well you know what I mean, in respect that people today regard them as greats and over look the fact that they did that back in the day. Is what I really meant.

no one hated Senna for crashing into Alain, no one hated Alain for crashing into Ayrton

Eh? There was and still is tons of bile thrown at both men from fans for their crashes into each other.

Because he’s the one who benefitted from his team mate being ordered to crash.

Maybe in some years we will know his true opinion on all that.

Fair point but the same was said about his time at McLaren and in two years he still hasn’t explained much of what went on there.
