I still have the whole telecast of the 94 Imola GP.

A few years back it became very rare to find the footage of the actual impact; nearly all the onboard from Senna's car you find online these days cut when he leaves the bitumen.

Was a very sad day.

One of my favorite and possibly the best driver of all time.
Although as much as I hate to admit it, Schumi might be slightly better.

A lot of guys were fast when the cars were set up just right for them but Senna was fast in every car and every condition, especially in the wet, which is the ultimate test of car control.

I miss the old days when the cars didn't have that many electronic components.
Senna was/is the man.

AFAIK, Senna has the highest ratio of poles to races started. Schumacher eventually eclipsed Senna's total number of poles, but only because he started many more Grands Prix.

I don't think there's any doubt who the best driver was and still is! He could be fast in any car outright, I guess he could adapt to every situation faster than other people. Also I read about how he prepared himself for races, I don't think there are any athletes that come even close to that. He would sit in the car fully dressed up and go through a full race just in his mind!!!! After he finished he would ask for the time and than do it again it he wasn't satisfied. Can you imagine going over 70 laps with 12-15 corners! The power of his will and desire to win was certainly bigger than any other athlete that I heard of!
