I'm a huge Senna fan, but objectively seen I think Max is even better. I think a lot of current drivers are better than drivers back then when it comes to pure performance and consistency if you compare data of F1 drivers now to F1 drivers back then. F1 has grown much more professionally (all of motorsports have), drivers start at a much younger age, also in simulators etc etc.
But the big question is how good would Senna have been if he was born in 1997, or how good would Max have been if he was born in 1960. That's something we'll never know.

That's something David Coulthard stated also. Mankind as a whole has developed and evolved, the sport itself has evolved, so you should assume the same goes for F1 drivers. Therefore objectively today's drivers are better than drivers in the past.

Just like MAX . MAX is been tested already twice in this season and unannounced (!)
Once he was tested very early in the morning , MAX wasn't awake yet . And once just after a race .

But in the past . Yes . Some drivers took Amphetamines (!)
Amphetamines means : No fear, extreme concentration like an eagle and reaction times like lighting.
And of course , it gives you b@lls of steal..

Today .If they catch you , you can say goodbye to your F1 license ..

Lewis Hamilton's left pinky has still done more for F1, motorsports, sporting as a whole, pop culture, and frankly the world than any other driver.

Did I miss anything?

Just the expression on Hill's face, he constantly looks like he's gonna vomit

I never liked Hill, never cheered for him in his heydays. I was more in the Schumacher camp
(although I might've been even more in the Irvine ('Fast Eddie') camp in those days )

Same here and from what I've read his dad Graham was the opposite to him, full of dry humour and jokes a plenty.

Corvette to make a V10?

Mustang V8 to get buttons so I can own one?
