single minded dedication and talent that is rarely seen....guy was so possessed about being the best and fastest...consummate professional. His in car vids are legendary...back when drivers were doing so much more movement in cockpit. Do a search of his monaco drives and see the bravery and skill this guy had...legend !

Senna: "The machines have taken away the character and it is the character that the sponsors and public are looking for.
At the top, you have a few characters of conflicting personality; the rest, without good results, don't have any credibility.
We must reduce costs so that we return to an era where the emphasis is on people not computers."

I met Senna in 1987 and 1988 (yea, I'm THAT old 
), I still have the Axle grease from his '87 Lotus on my hockey jersey!!! That man was an amazing driver and incredibly humble too. Pure F1 class. Despite the whole rivalry with Prost.

I remember the Monday after Senna died. I was crushed. The day before I really didn't know what happened - all rumors, only.
Gutted. That's the word.
I hope Bruno gets a chance to shine. I'd love to see a bit more of Ayrton's legacy take shape, you know? That cryptic "If you think I'm fast ..." comment is like Tut's curse: I know it's just talk, but I want to believe.
