Nobody really knows, but based on his principles and knowing what means to be a politician in Brazil, that would be contradictory, to say the least... but no, I don't believe it would happen, but again who am I ?

1995 would have been a different story. The Williams was the car to have! In the hands of Senna he would have walked it! It would have been interesting to how competitive Hill was that year compared to Senna. Hill seemed to have a very bad time in 1995. He seemed to be at the mercy of Schumi's mind games! One race which would have been interesting, would be Spa 1995. Schumi stayed out on dries - what would rainmaster Senna have done? Sadly we'll never know. |

Also I would hope F1 won't rush into any kind of foolish canopy suggestion, because that is going to cause more trouble that it is worth. Any kind of rollover scenario will ensure the driver being trapped until the marshals can get to him and then I'd dread to think what could happen to him in that time. As for what would've happened if Senna had lived post Imola, well he was convinced of Schumacher's car's illegality so perhaps with the biggest name in the sport pushing for Benetton to be checked and double checked Schumacher wouldn't have had such a car advantage and Senna could reel his points advantage in over the course of the season. |

Safety would have been improved anyways, just perhaps not as quickly and knee-jerk. Max was always big on safety, as was Senna (ironic I know).
I don't think it would have changed much. Obviously Senna would have battled hard with Schumacher, but he was possibly on the downward trajectory that all drivers get in the latter half of their career and Schumacher was certainly on the rise. 1994 would probably still have been a Schumacher success. The FIA wouldn't have tried to spice it up and atone for the misery of the first half of the season by handing out stupid penalties to Mickey. But on the flipside, perhaps without the early season PR horror they would have had no qualms about throwing out Benetton for their illegal electronics devices and fuel rig tampering. The Williams may have been fast in 1995, but it was unreliable too. Schumacher had, what, one mechanical retirement that year? Would Senna have remained at Williams in 1996 if the previous two seasons brought no titles? He was driven by titles after all. So many what ifs! Maybe history is best left alone. |

Agreed. Great fan though I was (and still am), the 'if' debate is one I find difficult to enter into.

Actually I never think about "if", but this picture was so amazing because that day is so clear in my mind that this view was disturbing at first glance.
