    A lot has been said and will be said again tomorrow because it will be the 20th anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death.

    Roland Ratzenburger died 20 years ago today, at the same venue trying to do the same job.

    Just want to state here that I think that's not fair.

    I don't even follow Formula 1, but....

    Back then is when I enjoyed it as a kid. But it came to the point where overtaking was a thing of the past and races were won and lost on pit tactics. It became boring, don't know what it's like these days.

    I remember it vividly despite being only 8.

    Unfortunately it's just one of those things. Senna is the Muhammed Ali of racing

    Well said bobby - it is almost as if someone being better at something immediately makes them more important than someone else.

    2 cracking drivers Senna and Ratzenberger - used to love watching F1 in those days but, before this season, it became quite boring!
