Reminiscent but not of the same cut of cloth.........

Senna had a phenomenal memory. He could remember his fuel economy on each lap for hours after a race! He wanted to absorb everything and really understand how his car works, his mechanics recalled that meeting him in the hotel foyer late in the night was the worst thing imaginable because he used to get them to explain everything, over and over again!

"Ayrton's powers of concentration...the size of the part of Ayrton's brain which controlled his concentration must have been the size of the this room because his concentration was phenomenal. It was a real pleasure to work with him as an engineer because his recall was fantastic and his inputs totally accurate."

Not me. He is not an undeserving champion, some people, and I am not implying that I am one of them, think that Kimi is more deserving.

Indeed, indeed............
