When I think about him, I don't really think about the accident, although I was watching the race on TV. I think about all the great racing he was yet to produce - or at least might have produced.

RIP Ayrton

no one has died since his accident, that's what I think of as it helps me to rationalize it.

I don't like how it overshaddows Roland Ratzenbergers death which was no less tragic or shocking. Both should be remembered and neither forgotten.

Never watched F1 when Senna was around but seen quite a few clips of his wet weather driving, makes me wish I discovered F1 a bit sooner.

I remembered his yesterday but privately. I guess it's the same reason we don't commemorate president James Buchanan's birthday or death. We haven't forgotten them, but yet somehow his accomplishments didn't quite measure up to President Lincoln's.

Good man, but please do it publicly next year. It'll be 20 years then, which will make it the longest period without a driver fatality in an event that was part of the Formula One World Championship.
