As for Michael's F1 issues, I'm sure we don't want to get into that. SpeedTV on this side of the pond showed old F1 races until last year. I watched a decent amount of the '93 season. One of the problems was that testing and practice were practically eliminated making it very difficult for a new driver to come in. Top level drivers in the same car don't drive with massive multi-second differences in lap times. Michael didn't know the tracks, but often as the races would progress he would catch on and be fairly decent. Qualifying was always a disaster. Michael is a bit of a headcase (very negative) so I think he kicked himself when he was down. He wasn't committed to it either. MH outqualified Senna in his first race, so Senna wasn't doing some ungodly performance that no one else could emulate.
