Schumacher openly burst into tears during the post race interview in 2000 at Italy when he was reminded he had matched Senna's number of wins.

There is but one word for this post: Thankyou.

Didn't say it wasn't funny...

That's true, but wanting less of something usually indicates that ^_^

I just love the entertainment value of TG. Yes some of the stuff is fixed/staged but who cares. Still a million times better than Fifth Gear!

Good episode.

Liked the piece about Senna. I'm a bit soppy so welled up a bit watching it

Loved the new Veyron. I truly believe that it's a modern marvel. A car capable of so much.

That was special.

I was too young to see him drive, I think I was born a year after his death but I can certainly appreciate his driving talent just from some of those clips.

Your 14/15? Your profile says otherwise...

Very good overall...wasn't so sure about the ice bit though.

Im not moaning, this episode didnt appeal to me.

First bit - boring
Veyron bit - boring, driving in pretty much a straight line till you max out and for what a few mph over the normal Veyron?
Star in car - boring, but did love the 2 wheel control.
Senna bit - not really an F1 person, did seem like a great guy getting out his car mid race though etc etc.

I'm calling troll or gaylord.

I thought it was the best Top Gear in recent memory. The piece about Senna was brilliant.

I got the dates wrong, I thought they said he died in 1990, not 1994. Just couldn't be bothered to edit it out. I was born 1991. Don't know where I got 1990 from actually...

Just because he has a differing opinion from you?

Loved the piece about Senna, was done tastefully. The vayron bit was also very interesting, loved the colour as well.

Hmm, even I don't remember that Schuey clip and I watched F1 religiously back then. Was quite sad to see though

Skillmister · 25 Jul 2010 at 22:27

Great episode. That veyron is mental and cant believe tom nearly rolled it. Good piece about senna aswell i've never really seen any of his drives but by the looks of it he was a truely amazing driver.

cm1179 · 25 Jul 2010 at 22:29

the bit on senna was very well done, i wish they would approach with this kind of attitude more often. the ice bit was a little pointless but the veyron is awesome, would like to know how the test driver squeezed so much more speed out of it

Bugatti was amazing.
Cruise and Cameron were fantastic.
Senna was sensational. (and I know nothing about F1!)

Great episode imo. It was actually very serious!

Sums it up for me.

Remember Senna dying, I was in pieces.

Really enjoyable, I take back my reservations of Tom Cruise.

I love Cameron Diaz so I'm biased

(and an ex looked quite a lot like her too

)

The very best and worst of TG

Veyron and Senna sections were superb

Tourag and Tom Cruise bits awful
