I am not designed to come second or third. I am designed to win.
- Ayrton Senna
Ayrton Senna da Silva was born on 21 March 21 1960, into a Brazilian family. Having received a miniature go-kart from his father when he was four years old, he became obsessed with racing. His colourful and adventurous childhood was pretty much filled with racing - from Grand Prix mornings in his early years to racing for the first time at the young age of 13. He was 21 when he went single-seater racing in Britain. The only way was up from there.
He made his Formula 1 debut with Toleman Motorsport in 1984. Senna confirmed his phenomenal talent in racing during Round 6 at Monaco - after winning 2nd next to Alain Prost’s McLaren. It was the only Grand Prix that was run in wet conditions.
In 1988 he won his first Formula 1 championship with Honda Marlboro McLaren, where Senna beat his teammate Alain Prost eight wins to seven. This started one of the most infamous feuds in Formula 1 racing. The following year, Senna lost the championship to Prost, only to come back again for the next two years and snag the title both times. This event made him one of the youngest racers to win three ‘Formula 1 Championships’.
His best performances came during his final season with McLaren, after which he moved to Rothmans Williams Renault for the 1994 season - the season that ended what could have been the most glorious career in Formula 1.
On May 1, 1994, at the San Marino Grand Prix, Senna speared off the Imola track and hit a concrete wall. The impact resulted in Ayrton Senna’s death. The whole world mourned his untimely demise.
One of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time, Ayrton Senna continues to hold this reputation to this day. He was an inspiration to many with his work, writings, and life. I was to young to see him drive but my father did. Watching the archival footage of his races made me understand what a tragic loss his death was to Formula One racing and to motorsports in general.

Helio’s book - Victory Road: The Ride of My Life
Tumblr media
Energetic and exuberant, Helio seems indefatigable most of the time. He’s almost always smiling, his feet ready to dance but his temper can flare in a flash of passion and heat, disappearing just as quickly. He’s won four Indy 500’s, a feat only matched by three other drivers in the history of the sport.

“Heaven”
McLaren's secret warehouse
Up on the mezzanine level the most significant F1 cars are stored. They're mostly from the 1980s and 1990s. We counted at least nine Ayrton Senna cars up here. Technically they're as good as ever. Since McLaren International was formed in 1981, no MP4 (post 1981) car has been sold in the open market.
