AYRTON SENNA DA SILVA " (1960 - 1994)
the "magician"... o "mágico"
The Brasilian Ayrton Senna was the best F1 driver of all times, superb, fast, aggressive and precise. In some races he suprpassed himself, he broke limits, he went beyond reason and understanding, he was supernatural, he made magic.
O Brasileiro Ayrton Senna foi o melhor piloto de F1 de todos os tempos, soberbo, rápido, agressivo e preciso, entretanto. Em algumas corridas suplantou-se, rompeu limites, foi além da razão e da compreensão, foi sobrenatural, fez magia.
Most of these "magics" took place with rain. With flooded track Senna looked like a "duck in the lake". While the other pilots were scrambled to stay on the track, Senna controlled the "horses" like a real master.
A maioria destas ”magias" aconteceram sob chuva. Com pista alagada, Senna parecia um "pato no lago". Enquanto os outros pilotos, atabalhoados, tentavam manter-se na pista, Senna controlavaa "os cavalos" como um verdadeiramente mestre.
Senna was 3 times F1 world champion (1988, 1990 and 1991). Died in an accident at the Tamburello corner at Imola, during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
Senna foi três vezes campeão mundial de F1 (1988, 1990 e 1991). Morreu num acidente na curva Tamburello em Imola, durante o Grande Prémio de San Marino de 1994.
