Here is a tribute to Ayrton Senna I made several years ago.Anyone in Formula One or who follows it will know that today 15 years ago Ayrton Senna was killed at Imola at the San Marino Grand Prix. He will forever be missed and remain in the hearts and minds of his fans and those privileged enough to of known him.
He was undoubtedly one of the greatest drivers ever in Formula One and in my opinion the greatest out and out driver. I had the privilege to see him race twice. Unfortunately both times in desperately uncompetitive cars. But it was apparent to even an 11 year old lad that however much I wanted my hero, Mansell to win I had to grudgingly respect Senna was an awesome driver. I use the word awesome in its true sense.
The BBC have an excellent article about him as well as the full Senna documentary they originally broadcast in 1995. Which is simply the best documentary about his life I’ve seen. It is available here.
If you’re new to Formula One then do a bit of research and look up Ayrton Senna. He was unique and one of the greatest…
Where words fail,
Memories will prevail.
- We miss you Ayrton
