Coming second at Suzuka simply wasn't an option.
His kamikaze move at the chicane was his last chance roll of the dice.
Either Prost gave up the corner and Senna took the lead or he nerfed Prost out of the way or they both were out of the race.
Senna had simply nothing to lose.

As it happens it became irrelevant to the championship as Senna crashed out of the next race.
yes Senna had nothing to lose but Prost had a championship to lose.. so you re saying Prost steered into crash because he had so much to lose?

130R is a very fast corner.. considering they have the same power and braking force, overtaking Prost d be different than the attack Senna did to Nannini of course..

at least for me kamikaze dive should be hopeless but Senna was already nearly side to side with Prost before chicanes kerb.. and onboard clearly shows Prost sees Senna inside..

but i really wonder Senor.. do you consider the other examples i gave above.. for you they re right as well?
