Actually, from what I gathered watching this, he has this idea that some people think that Senna killed himself. I wonder where he got that from.

He's hiding his face and broadcasting from his secret bunker because... :?

Something tells me that this guy is a tremendous Glen Beck fan.

Let it go, basement ninja guy. Just let it go.

Senna died and lost control as a result of the car bottoming out severly. The difference in track level was around fifteen centimetres at Tamburello and you get a strange phenomenon where the underside of the car does the steering and you go straight on. It's certainly possible, and in a high speed corner there's nothing you can do about it.

That was Senna's MO in how to set up a car that he wanted to push beyond its limits, so yer, it was his fault ultimately and he did kill himself in a sense. That's why Williams wouldn't let Villeneuve set up a car that way for a long time.

Cover up? The only cover up there was was to ensure that Williams and Formula 1 admitted no liability.
