      because every champion brings something new and understands something new technically.
      schumacher together with its technical staff has sensed the potential of the exhaust gases.
      this gave him an exaggerated advantage over the competition.
      F1 was a great sport for this reason, we were pushing forward generation after generation.

      MS. The greatest Scumbag in the history of F1. Period.
      What Johnny mentions is only the tip of the ICEBURG! of what both MS & Ferrari did to help just him win races.... Many rules & regulations today are a direct result of their Cheating attempts...

      Michael was better in almost every aspect than him. He was much better at racecraft and could win with a crap car. 68 poles 91 wins. Senna had 65 poles but 50 wins less. Senna could rarely win if he didnt start from the front. Michael could win from almost anywhere on the grid. Dont get caught up into the balony a Brit will never give credit to a German and thats a fact.

    It’s crazy to think that to even this day in 2021, we all are encapsulated by what Senna was, did and brought to f1! To me the comparison of goat talk is summed up perfectly here by Herbert! Usually, other drivers are butt hurt by the way they were decimated by other drivers achievements; yet I think Herbert here is spot on! For me results and stats only show part of the story...schuey and Lewis have those numbers in another planet and lead those by a country mile. But senna was the fastest. Now for me this is what makes senna the best he is Perhaps, the only driver in history, to not only win races in the fastest cars on the grid; but by some miracle, do it in sub par cars too. It’s that simple! His raw speed was alien. Now these days, young Max shows glimpses of that sort of built in talent, but nothing compared to what Senna achieved and what outright pace he had. Amazing. The best there was and the best there ever will be.

    Senna was the first F1 driver to lead the team in total quality. He has a aura about him that was about total commitment, Every part of the team was 10/10 - car, driver, team, owner, manager etc. But what Schumacher did at Ferrari was amazing. Ferrari was in a down spell and Michael help re-invent the team to multiple titles - 8 I think. Senna was special in my opinion - he had everything but a long life.

      And now let's see Ayrton's cheating accolades:
      1985
      His determination to take pole at the Monaco Grand Prix had infuriated Alboreto and Niki Lauda; Senna had set a fast time early and was accused of deliberately baulking the other drivers by running more laps than necessary, a charge he rejected, though the accusations would continue in Canada when drivers accused him of running on the racing line when on his slow down lap forcing others on qualifiers to move off line and lose time.th-cam.com/video/tbNLHGJUGTQ/w-d-xo.html
      1986
      De Angelis was replaced at Lotus by Scotland's Johnny Dumfries after Senna vetoed Derek Warwick from joining the team, saying that Lotus could not run competitive cars for two top drivers at the same time. Senna allegedly pushed for his former flatmate and fellow Brazilian Maurício Gugelmin to join the team as a pure number two driver, but the team's major sponsor John Player & Sons (JPS) insisted on a British driver which led to the signing of Dumfries.
      1987
      The team guaranteed Senna contractually preferential treatment over Nakajima in the allocation of equipment.Lotus used new secret helping electronics to win in 1987It was the "invention of the year" and the newest F1 thing in 1987 (computer controlled technique). It was designed for automatic acceleration and computerized traction control. Also an automatic, hydraulic wheel control was installed and many more like breaking control .. controlled by a black-box. It was a very big advantage, f.e. in the rain.
      th-cam.com/video/eDJX6LX8Iz8/w-d-xo.html
      Adelaide 1987
      Senna finished second but was later disqualified when post race scrutineering revealed oversized brake ducts on his Lotus.
      th-cam.com/video/ALMYI3vUiZg/w-d-xo.html
      1988
      Brasil - Senna's first race for McLaren got off to a bad start when the cars gear selector broke on the grid, causing a restart. The Brazilian was eventually disqualified for switching to the spare car after the green flag had been waved following the warm-up lap.
      th-cam.com/video/q-4qD9clvL4/w-d-xo.html
      Portugal - Prost made a slightly faster start than Senna, but the Brazilian dived into the first corner ahead. Prost responded and went to pass Senna at the end of the first lap. Senna swerved to block Prost, forcing the Frenchman to nearly run into the pit wall at 290 km/h (180 mph). Prost kept his foot down and soon edged Senna into the first corner and started pulling away. Though Prost was angered by Senna's manoeuvre, the Brazilian got away with a warning from the FIA. At the postrace team debrief, Prost voiced his anger at the move which prompted Senna to apologize to Prost for the incident.
      1990
      Suzuka - Senna secured the pole, but was unhappy with the side of the track it was situated on, claiming that pole should always be on the racing line. He and Gerhard Berger then went to the Japanese stewards, to request a change of position of pole to the cleaner left side of the track. The stewards initially agreed but an injunction by FISA president Jean Marie Balestre later that night rejected the decision and the original pole position remained on the dirtier, less grippy right side of the track. In addition, as revealed by F1 journalist, Maurice Hamilton, the FIA had warned that crossing the yellow line of the pit exit on the right to better position oneself at the first corner would have not been appropriate, further infuriating Senna.Some in the F1 paddock found Senna's complaints as strange given that the pole was actually on the same side of the track (the inside next to the pit wall) as it had been since the first Japanese Grand Prix held there in 1987. Many also noted that Senna had not complained about the position of the pole in either 1988 or 1989, both races he had started on pole and both races he was fighting Prost (who qualified 2nd in both years) for the World Championship.
      After this, Senna vowed that if Prost (starting second) got the advantage into the first corner, which most were sure he would, Senna would attempt to take the lead into the first corner, regardless of the consequences.
      At the beginning of the race, Prost pulled ahead of Senna, who immediately tried to repass Prost at the first corner. While Prost turned in, Senna kept his foot on the accelerator and the cars collided at 270 km/h (170 mph) and spun out of the race, making Senna world champion.
      1992
      At a test session for the German Grand Prix, Senna and Schumacher had a confrontation in the pits, with Senna grabbing Schumacher by the collar and accusing him of endangering him by blocking him on the track. But apparently it was ok when Senna gave Schumacher a "brake test" on the straights.
      15 year old girl ( have you ever heard or read about Epstein? )
      Senna then courted Adriane Yamin, daughter of an entrepreneur from São Paulo, who was 15 years old when they began the relationship in 1985 and often chaperoned by her mother during meetings with Senna. They were briefly engaged, but the relationship was broken off by Senna in late 1988.

This is very different than to crash another driver, without any rivalry context, because you know you'll lose the championship if he overtakes you, and Schumacher did it against 2 different drivers. This is much worse than anything dubious Senna has done is his whole carrier.

      Was he a good sport?
      1985
      His determination to take pole at the Monaco Grand Prix had infuriated Alboreto and Niki Lauda; Senna had set a fast time early and was accused of deliberately baulking the other drivers by running more laps than necessary, a charge he rejected, though the accusations would continue in Canada when drivers accused him of running on the racing line when on his slow down lap forcing others on qualifiers to move off line and lose time.th-cam.com/video/tbNLHGJUGTQ/w-d-xo.html
      1986
      De Angelis was replaced at Lotus by Scotland's Johnny Dumfries after Senna vetoed Derek Warwick from joining the team, saying that Lotus could not run competitive cars for two top drivers at the same time. Senna allegedly pushed for his former flatmate and fellow Brazilian Maurício Gugelmin to join the team as a pure number two driver, but the team's major sponsor John Player & Sons (JPS) insisted on a British driver which led to the signing of Dumfries.
      1987
      The team guaranteed Senna contractually preferential treatment over Nakajima in the allocation of equipment.Lotus used new secret helping electronics to win in 1987It was the "invention of the year" and the newest F1 thing in 1987 (computer controlled technique). It was designed for automatic acceleration and computerized traction control. Also an automatic, hydraulic wheel control was installed and many more like breaking control .. controlled by a black-box. It was a very big advantage, f.e. in the rain.

      1988
      Brasil - Senna's first race for McLaren got off to a bad start when the cars gear selector broke on the grid, causing a restart. The Brazilian was eventually disqualified for switching to the spare car after the green flag had been waved following the warm-up lap.
      th-cam.com/video/q-4qD9clvL4/w-d-xo.html
      Portugal - Prost made a slightly faster start than Senna, but the Brazilian dived into the first corner ahead. Prost responded and went to pass Senna at the end of the first lap. Senna swerved to block Prost, forcing the Frenchman to nearly run into the pit wall at 290 km/h (180 mph). Prost kept his foot down and soon edged Senna into the first corner and started pulling away. Though Prost was angered by Senna's manoeuvre, the Brazilian got away with a warning from the FIA. At the postrace team debrief, Prost voiced his anger at the move which prompted Senna to apologize to Prost for the incident.
      1990
      Suzuka - Senna secured the pole, but was unhappy with the side of the track it was situated on, claiming that pole should always be on the racing line. He and Gerhard Berger then went to the Japanese stewards, to request a change of position of pole to the cleaner left side of the track. The stewards initially agreed but an injunction by FISA president Jean Marie Balestre later that night rejected the decision and the original pole position remained on the dirtier, less grippy right side of the track. In addition, as revealed by F1 journalist, Maurice Hamilton, the FIA had warned that crossing the yellow line of the pit exit on the right to better position oneself at the first corner would have not been appropriate, further infuriating Senna.Some in the F1 paddock found Senna's complaints as strange given that the pole was actually on the same side of the track (the inside next to the pit wall) as it had been since the first Japanese Grand Prix held there in 1987. Many also noted that Senna had not complained about the position of the pole in either 1988 or 1989, both races he had started on pole and both races he was fighting Prost (who qualified 2nd in both years) for the World Championship.
      After this, Senna vowed that if Prost (starting second) got the advantage into the first corner, which most were sure he would, Senna would attempt to take the lead into the first corner, regardless of the consequences.
      At the beginning of the race, Prost pulled ahead of Senna, who immediately tried to repass Prost at the first corner. While Prost turned in, Senna kept his foot on the accelerator and the cars collided at 270 km/h (170 mph) and spun out of the race, making Senna world champion.

    It's not an accident that when it's about the greatest driver of all time, Senna's and Schumacher's name are mostly brought up. They had different characters, different family background, but they had at least one thing in common : God-given talent.
    It would have been a great joy to watch them racing each other for longer time. But we can still be glad with those races, where both amazed us, the fans, producing some really breathtaking and enjoyable moments, making history. That's why we grew to like them so much.

      All of them had their moments. Mansell took Senna out under black flag. Patrese killed Ronnie Peterson and Prost played FIA during the french leadership. With that said, Senna was over confident and aggressive during his first years and that played out pretty bad for him on several occasions. However, we have to remember that during Senna's years, there were more potential champions than ever before or after. Likely that created a climate where they had to take a bit more risks than Schumacher had to later except for when he raced Hakkinen. And to be honest, Schumi played way dirty against Mika as well.

      Outpace? Put Senna and Schumacher in the very same equipment and Schumacher wouldn't be able to stay in the same second of Senna. Compare the 1993 vs 1994 seasons, Hill vs Prost then Hill vs Senna - then add to equation Schumacher in 93 vs in 94 and you'll have your answer. Senna LAPPED Damon Hill in Interlagos - while in 1993 Damon was competitive to Prost during the season (sometimes faster). In 93 Schumacher struggled to follow the pace of Damon, but in 94 he lapped Damon Hill in the first GP. From the '93 season to the '94, the Williams car was almost 2 seconds slower, while the Benetton car was almost 2 seconds faster. Schumacher finished 1 AND A HALF LAP ahead of Damon Hill. These are facts, numbers don't lie. So if you had Senna gaining on Schumacher in Interlagos, before he spun off, it was 100% Senna.

      @@RawLu. All races before Austria 2002 could be said to have taken place in the 'team orders' Era. In that era, Schumacher won 57 races. Out of those wins, 21 of them were with Barrichello as partner, and 16 with Irvine, for a total of 37 at Ferrari, where I presume you mean the 'team orders' Era.
      Let's be honest here. In the 4 seasons that Irvine partnered Michael, he admitted that MSC was too quick for him. He was a contracted number two, but he had also made peace with the fact that MSC was simply quicker than him. Now, in this era, the only times team orders were implemented were:
      1. In Austria '98, when Michael was on a charge through the field (I.e. not for the win) and needed to make up time;
      2. In France '99 where MSC was running 5th and struggling with mismatched tyres and gearbox issues, Irvine 6th was told not to pass. Again not for the win.
      3. In Malaysia '99, for MSC to give the race win to Irvine for the championship battle with Mika.
      As for Rubens, the only confirmed team orders scenarios were:
      4. Austria 2001 (for 2nd) 5. & 2002 (for the win).
      5 confirmed team orders.
      In 2000 Barrichello was never on similar pace as Schumacher. There was no scope for team orders to play a role in the race win. In 2001 it was closer between the two, but Michael won 11 races, and Rubens was nowhere close enough to think that any major statistics of Michael's career would have changed with a different team policy.
      After the team order ban post Austria '02, Schumacher won a further 7 races that year, 6 in the next, 13 in 2004 and 1 in 2005, with an additional 7 with Felipe as his team mate. That's still 34 wins. Add this to the 19 he won at Benetton 'untarnished' by team orders, and you still have 53 'non team order era' wins. More than Prost's total.

      Joan Villadelprat on Senna and Schumacher:
      "Senna was in the best team, which was at that time, with 100 more horses than us who had the Ford-Cosworth engine, and we ate it ... until the accident came, but we were ahead in the championship. And it was not just because of Schumacher. It was one of these sweet moments, Benetton was in shape. In tire changes and pit-stops we were the fastest. In fact, we won several races for this. There was a change of regulation where we prepared ourselves better. It would have been nice to see the fight between Senna and Michael, but I am convinced that Michael would have won. Because seeing Senna, so many years and knowing him, knowing what it cost him, how he got out of the car, etc. and see Michael after races at 50 degrees, win them and get out of the car as if he had had a coffee ... The physical form that Michael had at that time and his mental strength, however natural Ayrton had, by a lot of skill, I would have overcome. For Ayrton it was a much greater effort than for Michael. "

      And now let's see Ayrton's cheating accolades:
      1985
      His determination to take pole at the Monaco Grand Prix had infuriated Alboreto and Niki Lauda; Senna had set a fast time early and was accused of deliberately baulking the other drivers by running more laps than necessary, a charge he rejected, though the accusations would continue in Canada when drivers accused him of running on the racing line when on his slow down lap forcing others on qualifiers to move off line and lose time.th-cam.com/video/tbNLHGJUGTQ/w-d-xo.html
      1986
      De Angelis was replaced at Lotus by Scotland's Johnny Dumfries after Senna vetoed Derek Warwick from joining the team, saying that Lotus could not run competitive cars for two top drivers at the same time. Senna allegedly pushed for his former flatmate and fellow Brazilian Maurício Gugelmin to join the team as a pure number two driver, but the team's major sponsor John Player & Sons (JPS) insisted on a British driver which led to the signing of Dumfries.
      1987
      The team guaranteed Senna contractually preferential treatment over Nakajima in the allocation of equipment.Lotus used new secret helping electronics to win in 1987It was the "invention of the year" and the newest F1 thing in 1987 (computer controlled technique). It was designed for automatic acceleration and computerized traction control. Also an automatic, hydraulic wheel control was installed and many more like breaking control .. controlled by a black-box. It was a very big advantage, f.e. in the rain.
      th-cam.com/video/eDJX6LX8Iz8/w-d-xo.html
      Adelaide 1987
      Senna finished second but was later disqualified when post race scrutineering revealed oversized brake ducts on his Lotus.
      th-cam.com/video/ALMYI3vUiZg/w-d-xo.html
      1988
      Brasil - Senna's first race for McLaren got off to a bad start when the cars gear selector broke on the grid, causing a restart. The Brazilian was eventually disqualified for switching to the spare car after the green flag had been waved following the warm-up lap.
      th-cam.com/video/q-4qD9clvL4/w-d-xo.html
      Portugal - Prost made a slightly faster start than Senna, but the Brazilian dived into the first corner ahead. Prost responded and went to pass Senna at the end of the first lap. Senna swerved to block Prost, forcing the Frenchman to nearly run into the pit wall at 290 km/h (180 mph). Prost kept his foot down and soon edged Senna into the first corner and started pulling away. Though Prost was angered by Senna's manoeuvre, the Brazilian got away with a warning from the FIA. At the postrace team debrief, Prost voiced his anger at the move which prompted Senna to apologize to Prost for the incident.
      1990
      Suzuka - Senna secured the pole, but was unhappy with the side of the track it was situated on, claiming that pole should always be on the racing line. He and Gerhard Berger then went to the Japanese stewards, to request a change of position of pole to the cleaner left side of the track. The stewards initially agreed but an injunction by FISA president Jean Marie Balestre later that night rejected the decision and the original pole position remained on the dirtier, less grippy right side of the track. In addition, as revealed by F1 journalist, Maurice Hamilton, the FIA had warned that crossing the yellow line of the pit exit on the right to better position oneself at the first corner would have not been appropriate, further infuriating Senna.Some in the F1 paddock found Senna's complaints as strange given that the pole was actually on the same side of the track (the inside next to the pit wall) as it had been since the first Japanese Grand Prix held there in 1987. Many also noted that Senna had not complained about the position of the pole in either 1988 or 1989, both races he had started on pole and both races he was fighting Prost (who qualified 2nd in both years) for the World Championship.
      After this, Senna vowed that if Prost (starting second) got the advantage into the first corner, which most were sure he would, Senna would attempt to take the lead into the first corner, regardless of the consequences.
      At the beginning of the race, Prost pulled ahead of Senna, who immediately tried to repass Prost at the first corner. While Prost turned in, Senna kept his foot on the accelerator and the cars collided at 270 km/h (170 mph) and spun out of the race, making Senna world champion.
      1992
      At a test session for the German Grand Prix, Senna and Schumacher had a confrontation in the pits, with Senna grabbing Schumacher by the collar and accusing him of endangering him by blocking him on the track. But apparently it was ok when Senna gave Schumacher a "brake test" on the straights.
      15 year old girl ( have you ever heard or read about Epstein? )
      Senna then courted Adriane Yamin, daughter of an entrepreneur from São Paulo, who was 15 years old when they began the relationship in 1985 and often chaperoned by her mother during meetings with Senna. They were briefly engaged, but the relationship was broken off by Senna in late 1988.

    I hear a lot of you F1 only fans claiming how Johnny is bitter, how he never achieved anything in F1, that he is a chump, blah, blah, blah. rewind back to 1988, August 21st to be precise at Brands hatch. Johnny had just come back from a series of tests at Monza for Lotus, where he was quicker than the then current world champion Piquet by nearly 4 tenths of a second. Then on that fateful day, Johnny was involved in a crash with Gregor foitek that pretty much ended any chance of a glittering career in F1. For anyone that hasn't seen it - th-cam.com/video/wiJRDHH0DVY/w-d-xo.html If you ask anyone around at the time, then most would be of the same opinion that Johnny was the next coming, The most natural driver since Jim Clark - He was that good, and was clearly earmarked for F1 stardom by the very people that know. It is a comeback like no other, he should never have walked again, let alone race in F1 and still win.
    I am gonna go out on a limb here and say that a Johnny Herbert without that crash stops Schumacher from winning as much as he did.....He was that good.

      derbigpr500 Hang on, I think you’ve forgotten that after the new rule changes, there were problems with the Williams bought about by the banning of Williams-Renaults active suspension system - the system that made the car so dominant the previous season. Although the Williams may have been a better package, at the time, for the first races of the season, they didn’t work well as non actively suspended cars and suffered terrible handling problems. So to say it was better than the Benetton isn’t true. It was better later in the season after they sorted the problems out. That much is definitely true. Schumacher faster? Senna took pole for all three races in a car that didn’t handle properly! I still believe Schumacher to be the best driver of his generation, probably better than todays generation to, but better then Senna? You would have to compare Senna at his prime with Schumacher at his prime but that match up never happened. Its speculation...

Senna has won 14 of the 21 wet races that he started (without counting no-fault DNFs), this gives a 67% win percentage in wet track conditions. This ratio of winning in the wet is BY FAR the highest of any modern era formula 1 driver, including Schumacher.
      The only 2 drivers that comes close to the performance of Senna in the wet track are Fangio and Ascari, but they drove in very different circunstances than the modern era drivers and they have fewer than 100 races each (Fangio 51 races, Ascari only 32 races).

      If you were in Senna's shoes at that time perhaps you'd have done the same... prost was ballestre's protegé.. at that particular race ballestre changed the pole position from the clean side to the dirty side of track, giving prost the advantage ..not to mention in 89 Prost crashed on Senna on purpose, you can see it clearly by the helicopter footage, Senna used the escape route to rejoin the track which was deemed as illegal resulting in disqualificatiomn by ballestre. various other drivers in many other occasions used the escape route to rejoin the track instead of going backwards and funny enough that didn't result in disqualification.. Senna was being bulied by the FIA director.. Schumacher on the other hand didn't have that sort of problem.. SO yeah Schumacher was the cheater and most of the people agree..

    People forget, that Schumacher is not only the record holder of most driver championship wins, but it also the most second runner, that means that if not for some sorta weird moments, bad luck, his wrong doing, other driver's wrong doings, he could have been at least 4 more times champion. No matter how to compare who was the greatest is plain stupidity. If you ask many of those who lived in end of 70's early 80's will tell you Gilles Villeneuve was the best.

    This is literally the worst argument for Senna>Schumacher I have EVER heard. Schumacher Monaco 2006 = Senna Monaco 1985... Schumacher Adelaide94/Jerez97 = Senna Suzuka1990 (albeit Schumacher did it twice). Senna was a dirty driver and Michael just learned from him.
    If being dirty stops you from being the best then e.g. Hakkinen, Vettel are better than Senna AND Schumacher anyways... Personally I believe dirty driving is just a factor though.

      CSA Breitholtz They had no illusions. Jos was pummeled in an unparalleled way-92-10. Coulthard and Hill always preface their criticism by saying Michael was better than them and over the edge driving to that extent was unnecessary in someone so talented. Herbert got his 3 wins against incredible drivers in a middling car. Irvine had a dominant car with only Hakkinen,HHF and Coulthard to challenge him. Schumie was injured,age caught up to Hill and Villeneuve was in some jalopy. Even though Herbert would have won in the 99 Ferrari if Schumie was injured he's well aware that he was slower than Schumacher. Irvine being worse than Herbert makes it clearer that Schumie was better. Villeneuve is another matter as HHF did worse with Jacques winning Williams than driving a middling Jordan. Jacques shoots his mouth and any disliked driver has a supernaturally good car-a liked driver has a poor car.Yet Other than in 96 :Williams seems overrated.

    Different times. Comparing each one of them and saying who was the best is to disrespect the previous pilots. Between Senna and Schumacher I get Senna. Both were very close, but Senna in the rain and in qualifying was unbeatable, he had an ability to check grip and reflexes never seen. Senna's era was much more difficult facing very strong riders, Schumacher took an easier era, but had his merit in erecting a Ferrari, something that Senna never did. For me between the two I get Senna, even with smaller numbers.

      Senna's teammate Prost was his greatest rival, while Schumacher's teammate Barrichello was his protector for 5 years under team orders. Schumacher was a 'made man' at Ferrari. Senna rival Mansell, preceded Shu to heroically resurrect Ferrari, winning his first race with them (Brazil) and driving like a maniac lion from 12th to beat Ayrton at the Hungaroring in 1989. "il leone" was the last driver to be personally selected by Enzo Ferrari because of his fearless driving style. Mansell is probably Senna's greatest admirer.

      Your mistake, they already faced each other in the rain like Barcelona 1992 and Senna took a walk, the European GP as Benneton still didn't have the electronic devices of WILLIAMS and Mclarens mainly the traction control that made the cars fly in the waters, the Benneton apparatus was being assembled, with the championship in progress and it was only in Montreal onwards that the car was ready, and it is not true that Schumacher faced worse drivers, he has already defeated Senna, Prost, Mansell ,, Alonso, Hakkinein, Alesi, Villeneuve, Montoya ,, Berg, Button, kIMI, already Senna only had Prost when a single driver went up to Mclaren, and in 1991 Mansell but that one had the best car but it was dumb it was shit and it was still many races without score and Senna was champion for that.

In the reality Senna beated Schumacher in 1993 driving an inferior Mclaren with a under-powered Ford engine (the stronger Ford engine was in the Benetton of Schumi), he won 5 races against 1 of Schumi and ended as second in the driver Championship only behind the superior Williams-Renault of Prost with active suspension. This remains one of the greatest seasons ever of a runner up driver.

      In all of Sennas CC years, his car was the fastest overall. Problem for Senna. He was not a driver who could tell his engineers to improve the car. When Schumacher got to the track in year 2, he could squeeze sometimes half a second out of it just by his technical know how. Senna may be the fastest, Schumacher the most complete, Villeneuve the most talented driver.

    • @hristoitchov
      @hristoitchov 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      That's a lot of bs there, bowlchamps37. Senna only had the best car in 88 and 89, but also the strongest teammate. In 90 and 91, the Ferrari and Williams, respectively, were the stronger cars. And also, Senna was highly revered as giving extremely detailed feedback, being able to memorize and relay back small details of each lap, so engineers can work on improving the car. He was also very knowledgeable in setup and technical aspects of the machine, thus being able to suggest changes himself. His arguments with Giorgio Ascanelli about which direction to go with a setup and strategy are legendary. Schumacher's primery tool was his speed and consistency, his mental fortitude, but in terms of technical knowledge and testing, he was not that good, at least not during the 90s. He eventually developed such skills with the help of Ross Brawn, but he did not help that much in improving the car. He barely did any testing...
