No farewells for the most "entertaining" driver that F1 has seen in this era???

If you break a piece of car, say needing a nose cone replaced, then that's an incident. Especially early in his career, Senna was prone to spinning cars in Friday practice and breaking front wings. Maldonaldo's are similar; I read a lot of "Crashes into the barrier at Turn X by himself in Practice X."

Crashes during practise is acceptable as it is an exploratory session where crashes or incidents are expected. Hence they do not count in the grand scheme of things. What counts are crashes or incident on race day that cost the team and driver points or race win. On this score, l doubt you would find much wrong with Senna; especially in his prime.

I say that because, compared to Prost, Shumacher, Vettel, Hamilton; race number adjusted; he would not standout that much in terms of crashes, l don't think. I am sure someone out there may well prove me wrong, until then l have my doubts.
