Senna vs Hamilton

[agnoraan]

It's no wonder people are turning away from Formula 1, just look at how much more exciting it seemed in Sennas days, that car and driver are totally on the limit

Hamilton, having very little input to get the car around the track

Senna doing what he did best, wringing every last drop out of the car, crank up the volume

I suspect the biggest difference is in the camera technology. The camera on Senna's car was bouncing all over the place, whereas the one on Hamilton's car was much more solid, probably due to it weighing almost nothing compared to the ½ brick fastened to Senna's car.
If you look at the driver's helmets, they're both bouncing around similar amounts.
Don't forget that Hamilton has massively more technology and information to cope with, very little, if any of which is to "aid" the driver, than Senna had.

I have to say I find Hamilton very impressive.

Watching him during the post race interview alongside Ricardo.

On watching post race footage and asked for commentary of a lap:

Ricardo - 'Yeh, this was a lot of fun. Really fast track. Lost of fun. Yeh'

Hamilton - 'This looks like turn two on lap 15 I think - yep. Rosberg had just pitted and I had some understeer on this next corner. You'll see me adjust brake balance as I go into turn 4 (and he does). I'm looking to conserve fuel at this point ...... '

His mental processing capability and recollection is absolutely astounding.

And lets not forget Hamilton Rosberg Bahrain 2014! Never let it be said its easy now

I agree. I think he's the real deal, a proper racing driver.
