Ace should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Being a French Canadian F1 fan that has been born to F1 after Gilles was gone I may sound like traitor saying that Gilles was far from being a saint, both in the track and out of it. If Rosberg thinks that Senna and Gilles are not comparable he must have his reasons. Just like Rosberg they are many that did not consider Gilles risk taking as harmless to them or as ethical or fair. Ask his wife if she considers Gilles as a good husband or even as a good father and then make your conclusions about him as a person.

The differences between Gilles and TGF or any other driver will always be enormous. First of all because they belong in different eras in F1. It would be a historical sin to say this is better or this is worse. They are just different, nothing more, nothing less. Personal preferences will always remain as personal preferences.
