Really enjoyed listening to Brundle talk about him, about how he would leave it up to you whether or not there'd be a crash. If he's good enough for the professionals, then it's good enough for me.
He's looking at Senna through rose tinted glasses. Nowadays if a driver pulled an overtaking manoeuvre like the ones he was praising Senna for, he (along with all the other commentators) would call it dangerous and for the driver to be penalised, especially if it caused an accident. Drivers get penalised in practically every GP for that kind of stuff today.
Plenty of people (me included) view Schumacher as a cunt for the way he drove at times - looking back, Senna was no better and if anything a lot worse. Having said that though, I was watching that documentary on the Le Mans disaster the other night and safety was practically non existent - pit lanes part of the starting straight for example. Drivers pulled even worse stunts back in those days.
