Yes, exactly. Because , Piquet is part of the generation that have loosed one or two driver ( if not more) each season thru late 70s and early 80s. Acting like Senna or Schumacher ( both never lived thru that era , arrived after) in certain circumstances would directly mean putting somebody's life in direct danger or jeopardy. And that's I believe why the drivers in the 60/70 and early 80 acted different. I firmly believe that the ratio of enduring threatning life injuries diminushing drastically mid-80s onwards reshaped slowly but surely drivers behaviors. Really, in some F1 races , I can nothing but only lough to how they behave on track, that's all to gether a different mentality now. If people drove like today with the 70s car , we would loose 3-4 driver each season , despite the asphalt run offs and better circuits (better in safety means only) etc.

I agree it's the best ever, especially how piquet kept his tail out of Sennas reach knowing exactly what would happen if he didn't 😅

I agree.

What made it even better was the fact that he gave Senna the middle finger while completing the manoeuvre.

*cê

Same. I still respect the hell out of Schumacher. He’s the greatest of all time.

Except Piquet is completely wrong about Senna (not to mention talking shit about a dead guy who cant argue back is disgraceful). Senna wasn't dirty at all he was just tough - seems Piquet was too weak to handle it. Senna only once took another driver out deliberately (Prost Japan 1990) but it was fully justified as payback for Prost doing exactly the same thing at the same place 1 year earlier in 1989. All other crashes were racing accidents. Schumacher was a little bit dirty but not much - the only really disgraceful acts were hitting Villeneuve at Jerez 97 and parking his car at Monaco 2006 - everything else was tough but within acceptable norms. 2 faux-pass in 16 years is an acceptable rate considering his huge achievements.

Meh, he's right Schumi was the nastiest bastard of F1 history And Senna was the same, he didn't hesitate to do anything for the win Piquet was the best driver of the era until his 1987 accident If you don't understand, he was the first to win on the undriveable turbo monster If you still don't understand, watch the video again, he literally outdrive Senna in 1986, one hand on steering wheel of a drifting turboed F1, second hand giving a middle finger to the dirty fouling Senna

No it’s not. Senna is regarded as the best driver was because of his raw speed to take cars to positions where it doesn’t deserve. Schumacher was regarded as the best driver because of his raw speed and the ability to build a politically unstable team to the top and dominate the sport.

@@FredMaradojagger thank you

He speaks highly of himself.

@alexjohnward He lacks empathy. I recall he criticised Prost for going to Ayrton's funeral ( because of the fued they had when they were racing against each other ) and then in the same breath, for the next 5 minutes justifying why he didn't attend and that they were not friends. Criticizing Prost's decision to attend the funeral while justifying his own absence was a very disrespectful thing to do.

He's a bitter man and has no moral or empathy.

No, because he has always lived in a bubble thinking that he is the best driver of all time, above anyone. A guy who always lived in fear of how Ayrton Senna little by little left him behind as the best, it's a shame that he left us without being able to show it to the world.

Piquet referred to Senna as the Sao Paulo taxi driver. Piquet considers himself much the superior driver.

When did Nelson race dirty? Did you even watch any of his races... Senna racing on and over the limit is a fact that no one disputes...

lol... indeed, by force of logic...

stop whining, Senna was really a dirty racer, and all adequate people admit it. No one has ever had so many dirty attack maneuvers in history. only Senna could, for no reason, arrange a senseless accident with lapped car on the last lap, you see, lapped car did not let Senna go ahead right away, and now he is offended and decided to attack madly. As a result, Senna loses the victory with a lapped car in the wall. if I wanted to fight for the title, then I would sign Schumacher, or Prost. if I wanted more articles in the press, then Senna.

What does his son have to do with his ability, at that rate Senna sucked balls cause Bruno was a paid driver that was dismal in F1... Nelson was a much cleaner racer than Senna and NEVER crashed into people to win...

Majority of Senna fanbase on internet is around 15-20 years-old with zero knowledge about F1. They weren't even born yet

All the losers say that. F1 isn’t a tea party.

Strange to say the least.

What does personality have to do with anything? Did u question Ayrton dating a 17 year old when he was 28? Nelson raced hard and not like Senna and Schumi who would crash into you on purpose. Nelson doesnt like Senna, so what... is that a requirment of a champion or what? Prost never liked him either and beat him when they had the same car.

@@kondjanegongo796 Prost beat him....? hahaha lets say that you have no idea and what happened those years, 1988 Ayrton won the Championship where Prost was already Mclarens driver (1984-1989) and debuted in Mclaren 1980-1981 very experienced with the team and car but Ayrton came and showed him how fast was really the MP4/4. In 1989 the Championship was stolen from Ayrton, the fucking idiot Balestre didnt like Ayrton at all and disqualified him from one of the best races in F1 history. 1990 and 1991 World Champion again where has Prost beat Ayrton...? maybe in a single race there and there...ok BUT TRY TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE WRITING because you cannot write the history again, is already written from the Legends, and Nelson is one of them, i do not disagree, but as a Brazilian and as a fellow countryman he should have attended the funeral of Ayrton, if only for the eyes of the world, but he never went. About drive to someone one purpose, Ayrton came in F1 in 1985 where Nelson was 2 times world champion, and in those years until 1985 - 1986 F1 was more simple, without much of politics and money. Everyone of the Big guys and World champions did this for purpose. Νo matter what you do, no matter what you try to convince others or yourself, you will never be able to hide the truth and the harsh reality about Nelson's mysterious egocentric personality, and the huge personality that Αyrton had both as a driver and as a person. watsch this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oKmCot16ppOaZKc.html Greetings from Greece

@@rafianwarsetiaji2909 You dont know what you are talking about - Schumacher won 9 races in 1995.

He speaks the truth; but only half truth. He named Senna & Schumacher; has nothing to say about his daughter's boyfriend, Max Verstappen. Also, Nelson himself was famous for being the cunning driver of his era. No wonder Alain Prost was ready to accept Ayrton as a teammate compared to Nelson when given a choice in 1989.

The car was obviously competitive lol. Senna wouldn’t have got so close to Prost in a non competitive car . He lost twice to him on points in the same car for example. Andretti was so poor it was hard to tell exactly how good the car was but it certainly wasn’t competitive 😂 it was certainly faster than the Benetton too!

@@scottyg22102938 As James Hunt said on the broadcasts “The only reason reason why McLaren is where it is, it’s because of Senna.” Senna won 40% of all races that he started in a McLaren, even Ron Dennis said that it’s an impressive statistic. When did Prost lose out on the championship twice? In 1990 in Japan? During that season the pole sitter was given the choice on what side of the track that he wanted to start on, Mr. Jean Ballestre denied Senna that opportunity in Japan without explanation. There’s a KZfaq video with James Hunt and Murray Walker where James Hunt places the blame on those coming togethers on Prost. Is the other time that you state that Prost lost the title because of Senna at Monaco in 1984? First of all, he lost the title by half a point due to his own volition because he wanted the race stopped as it was by Jackie Iyqx, Ballestre and company Ltd. Funny that they stopped the race that year at Monaco and the same figures didn’t do the same the following year at Portugal? At Monaco there was only one place on the track where some aquaplaning occurred whereas in Portugal there were many spots on the track where it was evident; even on the start/finish straight where Prost lost the back end of the car and crashed. You can teach me about F1 after 1994 and up to now however you probably didn’t wear short pants when myself and many others saw F1 races in person and on television. Are you aware for example that in the 1970’s the BBC didn’t send Murray Walker to many countries where the race was being held and that he did the commentating while watching the race on television? You mentioned Andretti; the comments he made in his brief time in F1 were puzzling to say the least….”In F1 the braking distances are halved”….”Standing starts place huge forces on the clutch.” Andretti went to F1 extremely arrogant and ignorant; he did very little testing because the title of Indy car champ went to his head, only after the fourth race did he stay in Europe otherwise he flew back to America after the race was over. Besides Senna who didn’t Piquet have altercations with. Watch a few of those races and you’ll see the evidence of a non-sportsmanship live on television. By the way, I find it interesting that during that era Prost is the only champion to have never been disqualified from a race after the results…his car was never underweight?…alterations to his car were always within the rules?…he never passed with yellow flags waving in front of him as was the case at Donington 1993?…his comments to the media were always non-partisan and non-biased?

PROST WON 5 RACES IN THE SECOND BEST CAR IN 1990 WHEN THE MCLAREN WAS THE BEST CAR. BUT ONCE AGAIN THIS WAS DOWN TO THE GREAT SKILL AND RACECRAFT OF PROST.

@@scottyg22102938 Of the 36 races when Prost and Senna where in the same team and same car, both finished 20 times in the same race, the other 16 times both of them had either an DNF and ect.

Senna was always the aggressor which made for great racing so dont know why we have to hate one or the other, they both wer great to watch

Sorry but Nelson already retired when Schumi started to win. And frankly both Nelson and Ayrton gave hard times to everybody.

Prost was not dirty. You have very little knowledge of F1. Please read and watch some old races and educate yourself before making baseless remarks.

Your 2nd error; it was Prost that was in panic mode when Senna turned up the heat and passed him - thats why he pulled such an amaeteur sideswipe effort - EXACTLY the same as the one that got Schumacher disqualified 8 years later in 1997 in Spain.
