Ayrton Senna Talks About the Crash at Suzuka 1990

[@4812megan]

Revenge from 89 when Prost turned early into the chicane. Schumacher did it to Hill in 94 and tried again in 97 to Villenueve but got disqualified for it.

[@m.jsouza2782]

Schumacher had no reasons at all to do that, nobody stole his championship before like Prost and Jean-Marie Balestre did to Senna. Senna's family said he went back to Brazil in 89 and he was completely broken inside, they broke his spirit so he said said he would quit F1 forever and try a career on formula Indie or somewhere else, many people spoke to him calming him down, giving advices, close friends, family, famous F1 people, ex world champions, till he finally changed his mind and drove for Mclaren again in 1990

Senna didn't revenge Prost it was all about Balestre and how he used his position to give the championship to Prost in 89 and accuse Senna of all kinds of things without any basis. Prost did exactly the same thing (restart after a coming together) that year in the Germany grand prix. And then 1 year later Belestre tries do it again.

Balestre changed the pole from the clean side to the dirty side of the track, helping his favourite French driver, Mr Prost. As Senna later said, it had been agreed pole would be on the clean left side of the grid but it got changed. He then decided if Prost got to the first corner first, Prost would not be making out of the corner ahead. Personally, I don't blame Ayrton - he was a man of principal and did what was kind of just, even if slightly dangerous. He was wronged the year before in '89, again by Balestre and his French favouritism. According to Ron Dennis, Ayrton was in deep conflict after what he did here but sometimes you have to stand up for what is right and play them at their own game.
