It will also serve as a bitter reminder that since Senna's last title in 1991, there has never been a Brazilian world champion. “But Senna was carrying the Brazilian flag around the world like a symbol that made so many Brazilians proud.”Apart from his exceptional driving skills, his attention to other elements of the sport, such as physical and mental preparation, as well as understanding the vehicle and the technology that powered it, set him apart from other drivers.
Pele, a three-time World Cup winner, played at “a time when people listened to football on the radio or read it in the newspaper ― it wasn't the same intensity or emotion,” explained Grunwald.Cultural and sporting events are planned for “Senna Day” at Sao Paulo's Interlagos track.Charismatic and controversial, Senna was crowned the F1 world champion in 1988, 1990 and 1991 when he drove for McLaren.
Books and documentaries about Senna's life show a man focused on his career almost to a mystical level.
