Not everybody was like that in the old days. For example Lauda (again indecision) was the first to introduce a strict fitness regime to F1in parallel with his technical knowledge and his calculating race craft. Prost also, wasn't nicknamed "the Professor" for nothing. There were more  crazy drivers than now (the disciplinary rules were not so strict) like Hunt, de Cesaris, Pironi and many others but these have been forgotten, as drivers at least.

I know Smiley I was a fan of Prost, never liked Senna too much. And frankly, at this time it was also not obvious to me that Senna was a better driver than Prost Smiley How can one measure talent. This is very, very difficult, I guess.
