The Style
|
Nobody
is perfect, but you can aim to be. Senna knew that.
His driving style was very agressive, calculating
and ruthless but he knew what he was doing. Only
goal that satisfyed him was winning the race. Some
people called him a genius. And that he was on the
track. Senna's ability to control the car was supernatural.
Especially when he was driving against the clock
his unbelievable skills came to the daylight. Just
before the time limit ran out he drove the best
laptime! Everybody else thougt that time wont be
enough. When it was raining, all his good features
became more powerful. In his civilian life he was
totally contrary person. Only his constricted circle
knew how sensitive, undemanding and polite he was
towards other people. In Brazil, He was very worried
about the situation of the street children. He founded
a trust fund for those young ones. |
