If there are still doubters on his ability to drive rings around the rest, there is a clip showing a race with all drivers competing with equal cars. In this case, the Mercedes 190E and he led from start to finish. The videos also shows how he dances wth the 3-pedal combo.

Not sure how anyone could debate his abilities. He was on another level in terms of car control.

Awesome to see all those great drivers sliding around in big sedans. Senna gave everyone a lesson that day.

Oh man was that sweet to watch. One was teaching. The rest were getting schooled. In those cars no less.
Thanks for posting...

Literally doesn't put a foot wrong. He just drives and none of the "Oh ****!!! .....other than the day he got killed which was not his fault.
