Off topic, but this years Imola reminded me just how valuable Senna was. In the press conference with Schumi, when they asked him how it felt to win he said:
Michael Schumacher: Yeah, great. What else can you say?
Of course, he was completely unemotional and distant. Senna may have been calculated, but he was very expressive, and you could read his face and you'd know how he felt. I remember during the practice for Imola when Senna saw that Ratzenberger had been killed, you could see how incredibly gutted he was. The sense of premonition was overwhelming. I'm certain that Senna knew something was going to happen, you could simply read his face and see all of that.

Schumi may have beat all of Senna's records, but he just doesn't measure up to me. Seeing him win is about the most boring event I can imagine. The only thing that gives me pleasure is how happy the team are. Schumacher is just too vacant. The end result is that I don't even like him.
I love to love Senna.

Well.......what else can you say? More to the point... what did you want him to say?!
