I thought the senna bit was brilliant, well done TG and well done clarkson for backing off the baffoonery for 10 seconds.

wow - last week Hammonds tent falls over and this week the best 10 mins of top gear in ages.
quite ironic really after F1 today - Mr Alonso you win races by racing and racing hard.
Mustn't forget Roland Ratzenberger either - both of them put it on the line that weekend.....

The tribute brought a lump to my throat, the late great Ayton Senna still missed, what a very black weekend for F1 that was with Roland
Ratzenberger's death during practice and also the crash in the pit lane leaving a mechanic if I am right with a broken leg. Thanks TG must admit
that Cameron Diaz is a little darling too.

I was starting to give up on this series but that was just excellent! All three of the main features were 20 times better than what we've seen
so for this series.
Still not a fan of the reasonably priced car bit though....

Tonight's was the best in a long way. More like this please. I'm not a fan of the star in a reasonably priced car and Cameron Diaz
really annoys me normally, but it was nice to see her and Tom Cruise relax and act like normal people. Some how I'm happy that they have both
had several broken noses. Speaking of which, if Senna had deliberately driven across me to cheat and win the world championship ...

I don't remember Senna even though I'm old enough to. I'm glad I'm not the only one to think like you.

Just imagine Schumacher at his very best X 1000.
Even then, you're not close.

A lot of us thought that at the time, & if i'm honest I still kinda do, with talent like that there's no need to resort to such
tactics.
That said, you have to respect the ability of the man.
I agree with the Top Gear comments, they nailed it with that.

A very good episode, can't help but think it would have been better If they'd kept the guest a bit more secret.
The Senna peice was brilliant, a good mix of footage, interviews info and quite a rounded view of him as a driver. I was six or seven when he died but
I do remember him vaguely from those times. I do remember some of the stuff that happened after he died, including some of the Funeral and
mourning.
I also think they should have let James May explain more about the physics of going fast.

I think the senna bit was very good at the top of F1 hero or villan is very close all depends on what colour shirt you ware ( mclarren / williams ect
ect )
but sending hamilton out in the MP4. 1200 bhp hardly any driver aids I bet that got him sweating a bit !!

Agreed, was the best TG in a while - including some actual journalism! I think they were pretty fair in the Senna piece, you can't hold him up
as some shining beacon of sportsmanship, as he was completely ruthless on track, but he had a very human side to him as well - all his charity work in
Brazil, and the bit where he parked his car at the side of the circuit to help another driver who'd crashed!
Letting Lewis drive the MP4-4 as well - he was like a dog with two d1cks - whooping the entire way round Silverstone! 
And it was nice to see 2 Hollywood A-listers being reasonably normal, tho I wouldn't mind betting they had a mahoosive motorhome out the back
(each)

Now that you mention it it's quite possible, however if your dad died in an F1 accident and you said "Mum I want to be in F1 like my
Dad" would she say "Yeah cool go for it!" or "Don't you dare you want to end up like your Dad too?"
