RIP Senna, but I disagree that he was the best racing driver of all time. Schumacher always will be.

But still, Senna is a legend :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I don't know much about motor racing, but I think that Donald Bradman is the greatest sportsman of all time. :idea:

With Senna, there are clearly questions about which driver is the greatest, but Bradman is head and shoulders above all other batsmen in Cricket, and as for bowlers, Warne and Muralitharan are very close in stats.

Just my opinion.

I have a photo of him in his JPS car and its hand signed by him, it look amazing in its frame under glass.
I also have the video of that very race he was killed in it show him in the car and the doctor with him and them getting him out of the car. The day before he died Rowland Ratzenberger,
If Senna had won that race he was going to dedicate it to Ratzenberger. So very sad to see 2 great drivers Killed that weekend

Schumacher is the most successful, but Senna will always be the BEST! ;) and if he was still around, no doubt he could be holding the record?

I remember when Senna - got out of his car mid race, and on a high speed straight to pull Alain Prost (fierce rival) from his crashed Car! risking life and limb......... that is something of a courageous driver!

Was it as courageous as the number of reckless moves Senna pulled on Prost on numerous occasions?
