Description
The most definitive and compelling book about the legendary racing driver, now a BAFTA award-winning documentary.
'For the casual racing fan it's a mighty good read, for the Senna fan it's indispensable' Time Out
Millions of people around the world watched in horror on that fateful day in Imola at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix when Ayrton Senna's car careered off the track at 190mph. The greatest driver in Formula One history was dead.
In this classic sports book, Richard Williams explores the complex Brazilian who was a hero in his own country and an icon to everyone who loved not just motor-racing but sport itself. In his drive to win and his desire always to test himself to the limit, Senna embodied all that is best and most thrilling in sport.
