Absolutely, and then Senna did the same movement with Nannini and the Italian had to block his tyres to not hit Senna...and what had happened if Nannini blocked the door too???...Senna loved the risk movements but he never liked when someone made those movement against him...for example Mansell in Barcelona 1991, and then Mansell in the start of Portugal's gp and the list goes on..and also Senna then lost his mind in 1990 and became a very dangerous driver. He was a very talented driver and one of the greatest but he has some attitudes in and out of the car that I never liked.
