Now, Hamilton can drive, I'll give him that, but he's only been a pro for a little while now.

When he started, they called him "The next Senna".

When he overtook someone last year, they called it a "Senna-esqe" move.

Now with the "lie-gate" He's been called a "fierce competitor" who did what he could to win.

Senna WAS extremely competitive, also he was a bit of a prick, but he WAS honest.

After crashing out with Prost, he came out and said he did it intentionally, giving the excuse of being put on the dirty side of the track. Crappy or not, he spoke his mind. He didn't make crap up only to recant later and blame someone else when caught out.

I'll admit I don't watch every second of Hamilton's racing, but I can't remember him passing anyone in the wet, on the same tyres, but Senna did that all the time, many times multiple passes in a single lap.

True, the cars were much more varied, and some would say the MP4/4 and subsequent models were very dominant, but any more so than the MP4/22 ?

Hamilton had a great season in a great car. Senna had many great seasons in average and excellent cars.

Lewis may grow and become a great driver, though personally he wouldn't make my top ten at the moment, but he's still five solid years of results away from being fit to change Senna's tyres in my book.

Opinions?

    • Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit. 
    • Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
    • I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.      
    • Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
