I don't think Senna had an unusually "speed at all costs" attitude. He was known for arguing that tracks enforce safe practices because racing drivers will inherently choose a faster route if it's less safe, therefore the fastest route needs to be a safe one. But that was hardly unique to him - he wasn't even the first driver to die at Imola in '94. And the only death since then, after major safety reforms, was a freak accident under a yellow flag. Other serious injuries have been exceptionally rare. Clearly he had a point.
