I just didn't see much of Senna. He died about the time I was just getting into F1.

Most of my exposure to his talent is through reading and watching Youtube…dude was amazing.

We are trying (read me) to have a good discussion here.....

this isn't the dinner thread, and I'm the OP.

I'm going to have to discuss this with management.  ;)

Same thing happened in Cup. Nascar made a lot of changes after Senior died. Not much was done when it was Adam Petty or Kenny Irwin.

Hans Device became widely used after his death.

Back to F1. Who's the better driver in equal equipment? Hamilton, Schumacher, Max (because I can't spell his last name) or Vettel?

Go.....

I gotta go with Michael. He did some amazing things in an F1 car back when they sounded freaking awesome.

Schumacher tops the list for me. Senna, Prost make the list. A guy who only won one title, but I greatly enjoyed watching was Nigel Mansell. I don’t watch as much F1 since Schumacher retired, so can’t comment on Hamilton.

Yep, I remember it too. I seem to remember watching the crash over and over again and then they just stopped showing it.

Me too. I'd be up early in the morning. My parents thought I was nuts.
