Hi all!. A few nights ago, I had an interesting discussion with my brother about comparing ourselves to racing legends like Jim Clark, Alain Prost and, in the very dangerous zone , Ayrton Senna.
Now, we're both sure that we're definitely not at their level, theres no chance that we are but one of the major questions to consider, do you believe in the chance that in future, theres a possibility that our driving ability could be equal of that of those drivers or even perhaps, be at a higher level or is it just a complete impossibility but if we were to say that it is a complete impossibility, does that not defy the concept that we're all human, that we're all the same? Of course, we had a major discussion a while ago about talent Vs. experience and how talent can't be gained, you just have it but well, we can never truly determine what it is that made certain drivers better than others.
Anyway, main point of this topic is to ask you, do you give a special status to these F1 legends and that its impossible to be at their level or do you believe that one day, with a lot of hard work, dedication and determination to improve yourself, reach their level
?
I'm most probably of the first opinion as Senna has always been my role model in racing and I try to understand and look at racing in the same way, hoping that perhaps I might be able to do some of the things he did but I'll most probably never believe that I'll be at his level, no matter what as I hold him in high regard but still, at the back of my mind, the second opinion is back there and keeps me thinking still.
NOTE: I am not stating that I'm at their level, I still believe that they're much better than me just so that you don't misunderstand my post and think I'm an arrogant c*ck
