Amazingly, he walked away just fine. That was the Bahrain GP last weekend. One of the first truly good races in a while, with lots going on.

I've been an F1 fan since the mid 90s. I missed the Senna era really. Races here typically are on around 10pm, so it wasn't until I bought a little hand held TV as a teenager that I had the opportunity to get into it.

I've seen many races from the older days, managed to download some, but really haven't ever had the chance to see much. I bought the Senna movie on Bluray and that gives you a pretty good look at some of the highlights, but yeah full end to end races, not so much. Top Gear (UK) did a fantastic tribute to him a few years back too.

Another pair I'd have liked to have seen more of are James Hunt and Niki Lauda, particularly after watching Rush. Shame there's also very little accessible footage of Stirling Moss in action.

There's been some amazing drivers over the years, and yeah I'd love to see more of the historic races, the amazing ones.

Senna's death was a tragedy for the sport, but also a blessing. The technology that came out of his accident has protected every driver since, not a single fatality and barely even an injury. Felipe Massa's is the worst I can recall, copping part of a suspension spring to the helmet in 2009, took him out for the rest of the season.

This year looks like it'll be all Mercedes. While I'm glad it's not Sebastian Vettel winning everything again this year, I don't want him to simply be replaced by somebody else.
