Ayrton Senna: The best of the best
What does it take to be the best? Regardless of one’s profession, the elements are always the same. Ayrton Senna certainly knew what it took.
As we highlighted in a previous post on Ayrton Senna and the Acura NSX, let’s take a closer look at the driver who many consider to be the greatest F1 driver of all time. The 3-time Formula One World Champion died in the prime of his life at age 34 after crashing into a concrete barrier while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix in Italy. Sure, there are F1 drivers with more World Championships (Michael Schumacher won 7, Juan Manuel Fangio won 5, Alain Prost won 4), but very few can measure up to the legend of Senna.
The Brazilian driver was born to win. And he did it with a fearlessness and style that has been unmatched since.
To get a glimpse into the psyche of this fierce competitor, here is an insightful tribute by the Top Gear crew to Ayrton Senna: the driver, the Brazilian, the human being…
Also, there is a new movie/documentary about Ayrton Senna, set to be released in the U.S. around June 2011. Here is the official movie trailer:
This is a must-see movie, not only for Formula One fans and racing fans in general, but for anyone who appreciates the skills and talents needed to be a truly great racecar driver.
