Sympathy for the Devil

Here's to a sporting legend. A man you either loved or hated (the latter, in my case). There's just no denying that the guy was inhuman at times, his ruthless efficiency transforming a sport that was dominated by cavaliers in the mold of Senna. The drivers have been trained to become well-oiled machines, even less error-prone than the cars themselves, just to match this guy.

It is a sad day, however, when a sporting great finally calls it a day. His mammoth drive today at Interlagos showed that he's not a spent force by any stretch of the imagination. I hope he enjoys his temporary retirement from the sport, because even though he may not come back to race.. this guy will definitely be a key figure in the paddock for a very long time.

Thanks for the memories, Michael.

He, Prost, and Senna used to race together. No to put him down, but he never was at the level of the latter 2. He only started winning after one died and the other retired.
