i just rememember the 1994 season,Senna had the best car but Schuey WON the first 2 races,,,and then came Imola.....safety car was deployed,when it came in Schuey was on Senna's arse.....and Senna went off.....i just think Senna was pushing past his limits to keep this amazing driver behind him. Infact in autobiographies about Senna,close friends to Senna admited Senna was worried about this new guy Called Schumacer(and rightly so). Michael just raised the standard and Senna and co couldn't live with him.....and lets be honest with a bit of luck and choosing an easier route(i.e teams) Schuey could have atleast 10 titles by now. The most amazing thing for me is,he's been at the very top of his game for FIFTHTEEN years.......i can't think of many sportsman,especially in a demanding discipline like F1 that have even come close to this achievement.....oh and the way he builds a team.
Im just privallaged that i was around and saw every race he entered,and saw a few live as well.....in years to come the ODD doubters will realise how great this guy was.
The sad fact is,he could have easily raced for a 2 more years at the very top,but i guess its best to go out on top and to listen to your gut feeling.
F1 won't be the same for me again,i won't be getting up at 5 A.M again or be bothered if i miss a race....i guess all good things come to an end
