Ayrton Senna, the best ever F1 racing driver in the world. We still miss you, always will.
Rest in peace dear Ayrton!
A winner, even in his early career, in 1982 at Estoril
This is one of Senna's last moments alive, as he waits patiently for the restart of the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola on May 1, 1994. He crashed on the seventh lap at Tamborella into the wall travelling at just over 130 mph. (He had been travelling at 190 mph when his car failed to make the left turn, so with lightening reflexes, he braked down to 130 mph) In any event, even that speed proved fatal as his Williams/Renault slammed into the concrete barrier wall, forcing the right front wheel assembly to disintegrate and catapult over and into the cockpit, striking Senna's helmet and an arm of the wheel assembly violated his helmet and fatally penetrated his skull. He died a few hours later in hospital.
