Ayrton Senna- the best F1 driver in history.

Yes

" I support Ferarri! Go Michael!"

" no more Michael? okay Kimi then, still ferarri, Go Kimi!"

"oOooo Button is one hot one....go Button!"

"wow he's black! GO HAMILTON!"



but no one can take over Ayrton Senna position.


I really do highly respect Senna. Skills wise, he is better than Schumacher, and character wise, he is much better than any of the F1 drivers these days- to sum up, to me, Senna is the best F1 driver in history.


Looking back at his racing videos really touched my heart today, and of course, hurted me so much when I saw his fatal crash back in 1994 during the San Marino Grand Prix.

as seen here.

Schumacher won that race and LOOK AT HIS FACE. HE WAS SMILING FOR HIS VICTORY AFTER SENNA DIED

but luckily he has feelings over here- 10 years after Senna's death. but look at his brother's face when schumacher cried, secretly ralf was laughing. sigh what's wrong with the schumacher family.

anyway...

Senna started his F1 career at 1984, even before I was born, he became a formula one star during his first win during the 1985 Portuguese Grand Prix. 65 pole positions, 41 wins, and 3 championships in 10 years- if he had a chance to continue his career, Michael would have a tough competitor.


One thing that really touched me is his heart.


Despite being famous, he is humble. He really has the heart for others.


For eg- during one race, the car infront of him crashed. what would you do as a F1 driver being in this competitive race? Ignore the accident and go on! But for Senna, it's not all about winning. He quickly stopped his car, got out and saved that guy.

as seen in this video.

Track officials also found a bloodsoaked Austrian victory flag in his car- he was going to raise in honour of Austrian Roland Ratzenberger, who had died on that track the day before.


also....after Senna's death it was discovered that he had donated millions of dollars of his personal fortune to children charaties, a fact that during his life he had kept secret.



In conclusion, just as Frank Williams said " he was an even greater man outside of the car than he was in it."





One of my favourite quote from him-

"If you have a target in your life, a real target, doesn't matter if you are very poor or rich people, if you work hard and believe in God, you can get the success, success in the life." - Ayrton Senna.

Yep! I agree with everything yoiu said... except the bit about Jenson Button being hot - I'm not a homosexual so I've got no comment on that one.

Oh, and if by any remote chance there are any car fans out there reading this, take a look at some of Senna's supreme driving:
