LONDON (Reuters) - Gerhard Berger can joke about how he plagued Ayrton Senna with frogs, and tossed the Brazilian's briefcase out of a helicopter over Monza, but there comes a point in every tale where the laughter stops.

Triple world champion Senna died after crashing at Italy's Imola racetrack 25 years ago on Wednesday and Berger is wary of too much focus on the pranks that framed their friendship.
