Michael Catches Senna

I am proving my point with the poles and disproving any thing I had thought about the Senna / Michael comparison, percentage wise(stats. fed by F1db). Senna 162 starts 105 finishes 64.87%, Michael 218 starts, 172 finishes 78.54%. Senna 80 podiums, 49.38%, Michael 138, 63.01%. Times in points - Senna 96, 59.26%, Michael 166, 75.80%. Poles are the point RE. Michael can’t beat Senna. Fastest lap, Senna 19, 11.73%, Michael 68, 31.05%. Doubles, Senna 29, 17.90%, Michael 37, 16.89%. Triples, Senna 7, 4.32%, Michael 20, 9.13%.
Michael leads percentage wise in all categories, save the afore mentioned poles and in the doubles. Senna also has a large percentage of retirements 56, 34.57%, Michael 47, 21.46%.
I am sure all of this means something, just not what I want it to. I wanted a reason for Michael to be as hungary as he is. It’s not in the stats. Michael is just a racer. So, I will repeat myself and say that I would not have a problem with Ferrari winning the Constructors Championship or Michael winning the Drivers Championship.
