Not sure if that's the right way to look at it. Formula One, back then, was much less afe than today. They pushed the limits, technical, and Senna pushed them as a driver. Both knew what they gor thselves into. It was a tragic accident, not more and not less.

Senna died in 1994, and Williams won their last championship in 1997.

The evidence on exactly what caused the Senna crash is equivocal. There is a theory that the crash was caused (or exacerbated) by failure of the steering column. However, there is no evidence that conclusively rules out the simplest explanation (driver error).

That's what I said!
