Senna was great, but noone was as good as one man who sadly only could proove it for half a season in F1 and F2 at the same time (switched cars with a cig break inbetween and did the next race), until an interview before the following race mid season: "YES, i absolutely am afraid to die. Not because of racing - i'm unfailabe in a car - but because if any little thing breaks on the limit i am driving at, that's the moment i'm dead" -something broke on the car that day and caused his immediate death, but couldn't take the point lead and the post hum title from him... RIP Jochen Rindt
If Senna wouldn't have died, Michael Schumacher would have probably never won as many World Champion Titles as he has. Because Senna had a pre-contract with Ferrari. He knew Ferrari was on the way up and would be the best car so they made a contract. And with Senna as No 1 driver at Ferrari, they would have never signed Schumacher. At least nos as early as they did after Sennas Death...
