If Sena were still around today he would be better than Shumacher by a long shot even in his older age. The guy was amazing and one of the driving forces behind the NSX intself because his race cars had the first versions of VTEC which then made their debut in the NSX here on USDM. They had it a little earlier in the B16 motors and some of the technology in VTEC was used in the ZC motors as well but not VTEC itself.95accordlx said:Nice vid......also good review from the man himself, God rest his soul.
Schumacher is a great driver but Ferrari has to do a great deal with his dominance. Back when Senna was racing they did not have as much technology as they have now. Ferrari is on top of the game right now, they have the best cars and probably the most technology but i am certain that if you set them up to race in the same cars, Senna would come out on top..95accordlx said:I always wondered who would be better.....Sena or Schumacher, if they were to race against each other today. Schumacher just dominates everyone today.......i wonder if its him or the ferarri he drives? I know Sena wouldve given him a run for the money.

Ferrari is on top because they have a driver capable of translating how the car is handling to the crew. He is the main reason why Ferrari is winning not just the car. Yes they have the money and the resources but look at Barrichelo who races for them as well. He has machinery just as good as Shummie does but isn't able to get the same results. It is about the driver not just the car. Now if he were in a Honda they would be winning because the Honda makes more power than anyone as of last season but we can only dream for that. :evilTurbothority said:Schumacher is a great driver but Ferrari has to do a great deal with his dominance.

But from what ive read and heard.......Rubens Barrichelo is usually a victim of team orders that wont allow him to finish ahead of Schumacher even if he is beating him.gooniac1 said:Ferrari is on top because they have a driver capable of translating how the car is handling to the crew.
