I think you are letting your own interpretation of the posting get in the way.
I don't see anything that looks like a slight of Senna - all I see is a report
which matches my recollection that one of the upper echelon at Honda has made
comments in public to the effect that Senna is not the sort of driver they want,
based on his habit of letting the press know when he was not happy with an engine.

I read somewhere that Nigel said one of the biggest
mistakes he made was not buying the television rights
to the IndyCar races before he signed.  

It's nice to have such a humble driver coming over to

I heard this last night on the "Marketplace" radio program.
Honda will enter a car at Indianapolis in 1993 *THIS YEAR*!
They intend to be the first Japanese manufacturer at the
Brickyard, and hope it will help boost sales in the US.
Presumably they are entering this year to beat Nissan who
are rumored to be coming in 1994 (with NPTI).

I haven't seen any independent confirmation of this report
yet, though.

Tom Walkinshaw is to purchase a couple of Lola-Fords and enter them in at
least five Indycar races this year, he announced at the Auto Sports
International exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham. This programme is a
precursor to a full-scale assault on Indycar racing in 1994.

Could this be the long-rumoured Jaguar-badged Indy programme? Will next

Brundle drive them?

Here's some more unsubstantiated fodder from a Normally

Senna's recent test with Penske (at Phoenix?) went as

on the road circuit, 
       1.  Tracy
       2.  Senna
       3.  Fittipaldi

on the oval,
       1.  Tracy
       2.  Fittipaldi
       3.  Senna

Senna then went back to Europe, saying that'd he'd had

Article-I.D.: reed.1993Jan8.212830.22083
Organization: Reed College, Portland OR

Shamelessly ripped off from the Oregonian wire reports:

Formula One driving champion Nigell Mansell made an eye-popping 
debut on an oval track Thursday, coming within a fraction of a
second and 4 mph of the Phoenix International Raceway record for
Indy-Cars.

"I'm not comfortable yet," Mansell said after traversing the one-
mile oval for 71 laps in a 1992 Ford-powered Lola.  "I'm almost in
a zero-confidence zone.  What comfort zone I have is that I'm with
one of the best teams in the business."

Mansell, the new teammate of Mario Andretti in an unprecedented
Indy-car pairing of former Formula One champions, still hasn't
driven the Newman-Haas team's 1993 Lola.

McGee [?] said Mansell's times-- starting at about 28 seconds the
first time out and dropping to 25.6, 23.5, 22.3, 21.6, and 21.4 his
last time on the track-- were startling, considering conditions and
the fact the 39-year-old Englishman was new to ovals.


And also...

Honda, which dominated Formula One in the 1980s before leaving
the circuit at the close of the 1992 season, said it intends to go
Indy-Car racing.  The announcement by American Honda Motor Co., Inc.,
in Detroit, said testing will begin in 1993 and competition on the 
full IndyCar circuit will start in 1994.


Wow, two motor racing mentions in one day.  Will wonders never cease?

Just read on a Japanese newspaper yesterday that Honda has decided
to enter the IndyCar series from 1994. According to the same article,
just like they did while involved in F1, Honda will only supply engines.
Apparently they have created a small company in California which
will coordinate their racing activities in the series. 

I recall that when Honda announced they were withdrawing from F1 competition,
there was a rumor that they were going to IndyCars. The reasons were 
that it would be much cheaper and more meaningful as a marketting
strategy since most of Honda's international sales come from North America.

With Mansell's move to IndyCars, Walkinshaw's recent announcement, and 
Honda's involvement, I'd not be surprised to see much of the attention 
that F1 usually gets worldwide shift to IndyCars. 

Finally, with Senna's relationship with Honda, I wonder if they will want
him as one of the drivers for their cars.

   Ive been following this rumor for a few months now and heres the current
 status (as seen from my eyes).

  Rick Hendrick is losing Exxon as a co-sponser on his cars. Hes looking
 to place Valvoline on the cars as a new co-sponser. Part of trying to
 lure Valvoline is offering Al. Jr. (closely tied to Valvoline) a Daytona
 Ride.

  Honestly I would love to see it happen! The years of guys like Mario and
 AJ running both are missed by me.

Martin/Roush rumors are a dime a dozen...The two of them have been going
at it for years now. Every year, it takes until about Pocono for everyone
to put on a happy face again.

Valvoline would leave Roush if Martin leaves; but Martin has a contract
with Roush through '94, and it is very doubtful that Roush would make a
move this late in the offseason or during the season unless he felt that he had
a top driver to replace him. If anything does happen, it will probably happen
in mid-season and take effect in '94.

Remember how close Martin and Bill Davis are...

BTW: I believe you must run 5 races in a single season to lose rookie
status.

Translation:
  Here she is, finally.  The Ferrari F93A -- this is the official
  designation of the car, the project number of which is 644Bis --
  was unveiled to a group (?) of journalists on Wednesday, December 23.

Also, they call the car
  la creatura di George Ryton (supervisionata da John Barnard)
meaning
  the creature (actually: the work) of George Ryton (supervised by
  John Barnard).

(I wonder how well this bodes for the car, considering that George
Ryton is the man who designed the "2nd generation" EuroBrun car.)

above translation may be completely wrong ;-)

: M. Blundell,  McLaren-Honda MP4/7 V12       1'05"16

Not really representative of 1993 performance with the big H in the back.

: J. Herbert, Lotus-Ford 107 V8               1'05"19  (AS: 1'05"74)

Disappointing. And where was Hakkinen?

: A. Suzuki, Footwork-Mugen FA13 V10          1'05"38  (AS: 1'05"88)

Welcome back Derek (charming man, and I think he's finally got some
killer instinct in him...).

: A. Zanardi, Benetton-Ford B192 V8           1'05"40  (AS: 1'06"11)
: R. Patrese, Benetton-Ford B192 V8           1'05"64  (AS: 1'06"10)

Come on! 0.7" off Schumacher? And Riccardo only 0.06" away from...

: P. Belmondo, Larrousse-Lambo LC92 V12       1'05"70  (AS: 1'06"20)

And finally, say hello to Rubens Barrichello, 1991 British F3 champion,
and top 5 (?) European F3000 1992; not many races under his belt, but 
plenty of financial support and bit of talent...

: R. Barrichello, Jordan-Hart 192 V10         1'06"30
