Wow all the fanboys come rolling out, lols. I love it, when people can't contradict well documented facts, then the next strategy is to drag all teams and drivers down in the mud with Benetton/MS. And when that fails, we can just dream @#$%& up. No reason to document claims. Guesses and wild speculation is all that we need. Why try to prove anything? I am über awezomez and I am right when I saz so!

LC is not a guarantee for success. If it is not calibrated properly, then you will be slower than without it. Also, I am talking about the car the FIA inspected. That was after San Marino. I am also talking about the car that was at the French GP. In both cases Senna was already dead. I have no proof of what happened prior.

Favourable treatment wouldn't make Schumacher 3 seconds faster.

Says who? I think it is admirable to come clean. Also, if he destroyed his reputation, I think he did it when he beat his wife, and went through trial under public scrutiny and press coverage.

Look at it this way. In 1991 Benetton appointed Tom Walkinshaw as Engineering Director. The first thing he set his eyes on was to create a new engineering facility and attract talents to staff it. One of those talents was Tad Czapski. He was hired in 1992. His main challenge was to get the Benetton electronics to work with active suspension, automatic gearboxes, ABS and traction control. He was the man responsible for the b193 electronics.
So if there was cheats on Michaels B194, Tad Czapski would have known. Since he was hired by Tom Walkinshaw, he would have known too. Flip through the years, and go to the late Arrows era under Walkinshaw. Who did he hire two years in a row? That's right, Jos Verstappen. Now why on earth would he do that, if he knew for certain that Jos was 0,9 to 3 seconds slower than Michael? It is not like Verstappen had produced some kind of miracle in the meantime that would show Walkinshaw that he had improved significantly since his time at Benetton.
No, Walkinshaw knew why Michael was 3 seconds faster than Jos, and it didn't stop him from hiring him later in his own team. Had the 3 second split been legitimate, then he never would have done that.

Comparing cars that are almost 20 years apart is ludicrous.
It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.
