I guess my opinion of racer is slightly different from yours Ayes.
I call a racer someone you as a fair man can race against.
I dont call Senna fair, he was marginally dirty and ushered in a whole new era of forceful contact style driving.
His will to win was able to overpower his common sense and survival instinct in a way that a Clark, Hill, Fangio, Moss, Stewart, never could have done.
And for that Alain will always be more of a man on the racetracks, not at all off the track as Ayrton was the consumate pro and gentleman. Just not on the track.
