Michael Can't Catch Senna

Michael will never catch up, with 63 poles he is just two poles behind Senna. Yes, the point is the record and there is a chance Michael can put his name on the top of that chart. But is the record broken? Senna had 65 poles in 161 starts, on the pole for 40% of his starts. Michael at 63 poles and 217 starts, sat on the pole for 29% of his starts and that decreases every time he starts. I don’t want to diminish what Michael has accomplished by unfair comparisons but they did race against each other and while Senna was alive Michael never took a pole.

Nurburgring Proves Slippery

Who didn’t fall off? I’m including myself here. About the only thing I got right was Webber and even I didn’t know he’d lose it on the first corner. BAR engines finished, Jordan beat Minardi, Rubens beat Michael and Red Bull luck out. Unbelievable race, Kimi on the last lap, brutal. Heidfeld, drives older than he looks, it will take a normal race to see where Williams stand, they’re looking tough. Rubino’s balls drop but I think it’s a little late. Even if he beats Michael in the points the kids have more to offer.
