Senna didn’t die. He’s just one lap ahead of everyone else.

Senna was Senna, nothing can compare, nobody will be the next Senna, there is only one, there will be only one "Ayrton Senna"

If you come to Sao Paulo, Brazil go visit Senna’s grave. It’s a peaceful place with lots of tributes. He’s a truly hero 😢🙏🏼

Senna was considered a samurai by the Japanese crew that work with him on the Honda team. Which is an incredible feat for a foreigner.

You failed to mention that when he did his ruthless move against Prost, it was a comeback after Prost did it first a year before.

I had the privilege of meeting him during the 1988 Canadian GP, I was in his box during qualifying, when he left the car the amount of adrenaline going through his body was so immense that he stood against the wall and he couldn’t speak and left the helmet on for quite some time.

Every time I see documentaries about Senna, I get goosebumps.
Ayrton Senna: Simply the best! Better than all the rest.

In 1989 the normally aspirated engines arrived and many thought that Senna would lose some of his amazing speed without turbos. But Ayrton remained supremely fast in all conditions. While going around corners he still refused to take his foot off the gas pedal, a technique he learned as a kid during his karting years.

Ayrton Senna's trust in divine intervention helped him to go faster than he normally could have. Being guided by a higher power enhanced his performance beyond what it would have been without religion. His faith made all the difference. Ayrton had an unshakable belief that he was fulfilling God's will.

He prepared himself better than any other driver before, both physically and mentally. He was an innovator in using sport psychology, physical, and mental trainer Nuno Cobra before anyone else in Formula 1. He used techniques to control his breathing and relax when he was becoming over-aroused. These methods allowed him to concentrate at almost superhuman level and get into the zone almost at will during races.

Prost describes how, after a race at Monaco, Ayrton explains how he monitored his performance during the race itself: He managed to visualize from a 'third person' perspective (i.e. as if watching from outside) during the race and corrected his mistakes.

Ayrton Senna had the qualities to be the best racing driver of his time, and that is exactly what he was. His tombstone simply reads: 'Nothing can separate me from Gods love'

My wife is Brazilian and we recently watched the documentary on Netflix. The final episode where he crashed and died, I looked over at her and she had tears in her eyes. She remembered the day it happened like yesterday. She was 14 and the entire nation was deeply mourned.

He was not only a great racer, but was the salt of the earth decent human being.

The consensus was that he was adored by all, but Brazilians didn't care much for his parents or one of his girlfriends who was a celebrity. They felt that they used and took advantage of Ayrton for personal gain.

Senna was a hero for Brazilians just when the country was going through some harsh times... When he died, people were devastated.

I remember seeing people crying in the streets, a general somber feeling... Everyone was quiet and sad. Ask any Brazilians what they were doing when Senna died and they'll probably tell you a story. It's one of those era defining moments that people just can't entirely forget.

Im old enough to have seen Senna live on TV. It was magical as was all the drivers and racers at this time. When he died something else died in F1 and it has never been the same. RIP Sir. He was The MAN,....

That concrete block story is mad…. man was an artist

@renanpires1984 2 years ago (edited)

It gets really emotional for me to see the greatest racing driver in history being honoured by people who are not from Brazil this way. A really well writing and accurate script, mah man! Great job, bro!

My dads been watching F1 since the 80s, Prost was his favorite driver, but he said Senna was the greatest
R.I.P Ayrton Senna, a legend through and through

I was in Sao Paulo the day of the funeral. I was in high school at the time. It's still one of the saddest memories of my entire life.

@PlaidPenguinGaming 2 years ago

People are welcome to their opinions if they think differently, but to me Senna is the greatest. There was something magical about him.

I had the privilege to see the last Ayrton’s practice on saturday morning, 30th april 1994.. In the afternoon he never touched the wheel due to Ratzenberger accident. I loved Senna since 84. I cried in 94. He makes me sad on 2024. Obrigado, Ayrton.
