If Ferrari is indeed “looking into” IndyCar to get what they want from the FIA, it would not be the first time.

Absolutely. I still think the early-mid 90's IndyCars were the best looking open-wheelers ever. The new ones are hideous by comparison.

It really came down to reliability. Looking at the stats, Senna was leading the points until Canada where Prost began a string of wins, and Senna mustered two 4ths, a 5th, and a dismal 18th because he stalled. Had he capitalized on Prosts two out of points positions, and didn’t retire at Portugal and Canada, I can…

Other than the racing on 200+ MPH ovals Indy Car took safety way more seriously than F1 at the time. Even with that, they had deaths on road courses. I still remember how long it took the safety crew to get to Senna, not that it would have made a difference, but still...

F1 had comical head restraints, poor track safety, poor car safety standards, and laughable emergency response at the time, much of which contributed to Senna’s death... but IndyCar was (and is) absurdly dangerous too. It’s just a nature of the tracks IndyCars run.

Is this a build-up to tomorrow’s “Ferrari Looking at IndyCar to Muscle F1/LM” spoiler?

That would have put Mansell and Senna both as defectors to IndyCar in the same year. That would have been very interesting.

Just think...

Thought the post was gonna say this, “There was a time when Ayrton Senna almost left F1 so he could improve his heel-toe technique by testing Honda’s NSX for the rest of his life.”

I guess he should have given it more serious thought...

i too have pulled a billion dollars from my ass.

Yeah, but why was the capital injection in pennies?

Must be that Laundromat business

Probably just a small loan from his father.

Hope it wasn’t all in pennies, his ass will be hurting for years.

*Checks ass*

Terrific comment. Only one star to give but it’s yours just the same.
