As you say its ifs and buts. My thinking with 94 was always if Hill could yake Schumacher all the way and but for a moment of impetuous madness, would have won, then Senna with all his skills could havw gone further.
95 id agree, but 96/97 Williams were so utterly dominant would Senna have walked away from that potential?

It was only ever so close with Damon in 94 because Schumacher got DQed from the British Grand Prix, which I thought was a grossly overharsh penalty in relation to the offence (ok, rules are rules, but its so rare to see a black flag for anything but the most serious misdemeanor).. and then got banned for 2 races after being stripped of his Belgian GP win. That's an entire quarter of the season he was excluded from, half of which he had 'won'.

I just felt there were a hell of a lot of politics in play that year and the FIA had to really give Williams all the help they could. Really based on performances Schumacher wins 94 by 40-50 points.

Damon had that one brilliant drive in Japan which, ironically, Senna had he been leading the charge wouldn't have been able to improve on, otherwise Williams were outclassed whenever they had to go head to head with Schumacher's Benetton.

I totally agree the FIA interfered to keep 94 alive but if it had been Senna against Schumacher rather than Hill I think he wouldn't have needed interference. I think Schumacher would still have won 94 but Senna would have made a fight of it without the need for Schumacher to be penalised. 95 I think Senna would have won as Schumacher only walked it due to Hill being rattled by Schumacher. Sadly we'll never know. For the record I hold them both as equal. In the same equipment at both their peaks there would have been nothing in it. Alonso is a similar level but not quite he was unlucky with some of his car choices.
 
I expect it from Jos, Horner and Marko but bit surprised Verstappen is still crying this much about it, especially given his desperation to be seen as an Alpha male. It's odd that he seems more upset about Hamilton celebrating the victory than the actual accident itself... comes across as being very precious. Perhaps it's just him trying to unsettle Hamilton.

Would laugh if Hamilton just yeets him out the way again at T1... although fully expect Verstappen to dominate here. Ferrari could look good as well given the predicted temps.

As mentioned earlier in the week, I wish it worked like the FA panel.

Deem the appeal as frivolous and suspend the whole team for the weekend.

Let them stew in their own piss until after the summer break.
