Great vid....reminds us oldies as to what F1 use to be like....those guys really had to drive...not just pilot refined racers with so many electronic controls. As to MS vs AS we will never really know.....I am a AS fan...ever since the wet race at Monaco....what a driver......IMHO the best, simply the best....everybody has their own favs for thheir own reason...as to who would have won in a shoot out....we will never know but I have a sneaking feeling it would have been AS or would they have just put each other off the ntrack rather than loose....both are do now ask for forgiveness later drivers.....does anybody rem the quailifying lap at Silverstone when Senna gambled on going through the last corner staright to get the time, knowing that he would crash the car.....but still get poll

Speaking of GV & Long Beach, this next clip is for you, FF. This is from the 1979 race. Enjoy!

In th 80's, I used to get up 4:30 in the morning to watch F1.(VHS back then now Tivo) Pleeeease let's not even compare Senna vs Schumi, who's better was already recorded in season 1993! They both had the "Ford" engine,(though Schumi had a factory version) but final score was 5 wins for Senna(Donington GP will forever be remembered as best of best!) and ONLY 1 win for Shumi in Belgian GP. So I see a clear winner of who is the BEST!!!
Here is my top 10 F1 drivers of all times:
1)Senna
2)Prost
3)Clark
4)Schumi
5)Fernando
6)Bellof
7)Lauda
8)Piquet
9)Mansell
10)Andretti(Mario)

FF,
Woohoo! That's the picture I was referring to. That was 1980. For me, this pic summarizes what GV was about - a pure racer.
