Having just listened first-hand to Mr Roebuck discussing the Senna movie with Jo Ramirez and others in London this week, I feel that perhaps 'odious human being' is rather strong ( or if so, then a large proportion of the human race must be vile beyond description ).
Many sporting journalists are biased in accordance with their relationships with people within the sport ( Remember DSJ ? Mind you, maybe he counts as odious too...).
It's fair to say that many of us - certainly myself included - have altered our perception of Senna as more information has come to light over the years. I well remember thinking at the time that Senna was OTT with the Warwick affair and the 'someone who shouldn't have been there...' comment etc. Time and refelction have made me realise that there was much more to Senna and his life than met the eye.
