sorry, but actually what i'd really like is good competition
between sportsmen, not sniveling whiny moaning from
inflated egos.

senna turned down a $25 M deal with ferrari exactly and
specifically because he knows that he cannot win driving
a ferrari.  no other reason.  as such, for him to accuse
prost of only wanting to race when everyone else has 
lead boots is not only ironic, it's idiotic.

please don't take this personally...unless you really
are senna or mansell in disguise!  but this statement
implies that they are not getting a fair deal from frank 
williams.   in fact, mansell expected more from williams than
they were willing to give.  he thought more of himself
than did his employer.  hey!  it happens all the time.
if he was really that spectacular, williams would have
capitulated to his terms.  he took a chance, and he
got humiliated.  them's the breaks.

and i agree with you that they are good drivers.  it's
just that when you're paid these astronomical sums, i
think that its reasonable for fans to expect sportsmanlike
conduct, a sense of humility and fair play, concern
for safety, and all the rest.  truth is, both of these
guys act like spoiled, snively little snot-nosed brats.
this is NOT the show that i'd PREFER to be watching.
