For his era he was the GOAT, no question, but with todays cars and their wizardry, sorting everything out for the driver, I'm not so sure.
Interesting. Because of fact that the 80s and 90s cars were so much harder to drive I always assumed that Senna would also destroy the current generation.

By the way, can't really think of any brutal Senna crashes other than the Mexico Quali flip and off course the collision with Prost in Suzuka 1990 which could have ended catastrophically. Berger, Piquet and Mansell were all involved heavier crashes.

Oh how I miss those glory days of F1. The greatest generation ever.
