18 years ago today, Ayrton Senna died

Just taking a moment to remember the most gifted natural racing driver F1 has ever known.

The best of his era but not the best ever.

Fangio & Clark have that honour since F1 started in 1950.

Dunno, I'd go for Schumacher simply because of how he dominated it before his retirement.

Still, Senna did some incredible stuff, with both his car and his money. ruly a racing legend and an all-round good guy.

RIP to both Ayrton and Roland.. Both deserve to be remembered! Possibly the most terrible weekend in F1 history. Luckily, they're deaths have made F1 a much safer sport!
