I think we should put things in perspective. Senna was unlikely to win 3 championships if he crashed a lot on race days. There were the obvious crashes during the battle with Prost. Beside those and the unavoidable DNFs due to mechanical problems, l really do not remember many driver errors from Senna. You may have your reasons for not being a Senna fan but you must at least give respect where respect is due. And Senna deserves loads of respect, in my opinion. He was hard but fair and fast.
