Races to remember

If a person has no more dreams, no longer has any reason to live. Dreaming is necessary, even if in the dream goes glimpsed reality. For me it is one of the principles of life.

Rich people cannot live on an island surrounded by an ocean of poverty. We all breathe the same air. You have to give everyone a chance.

You'll never know how it feels when a driver wins. That helmet hides incomprehensible feelings.

I'm a privileged, I have always had a very good life. But all I got from the life I gained with the commitment and the strong desire to achieve my goals, to win in life, not as a pilot. So let me tell you that whoever you are in life, whether you are at the lowest level, or higher, you have to have a great strength and great determination and have to face anything with great love and faith in God and one day will reach the your goals and you will succeed.

The most important thing is to be yourself, not to let anyone hinder you, without being different because someone wants you to be different. You have to be yourself. Many times you make mistakes because of your personality, character or interference that you can find along the way. But you can just learn from your mistakes. And this is the main thing: use your errors to learn. I believe in the ability to deeply concentrate on it in order to make progress and even more.

You can never change the world alone. But you can do your part to change a bit of it. What I really do for poverty I'll never say to anyone. F1 is a miserable thing compared to this tragedy.

You think you have a limit, so you try to touch this limit. Something happens and you can immediately run a bit faster. Thanks to the power of your mind, your determination, your instinct, and the experience you can fly very high.

Running, competing, it's in my blood, it's a part of me, it's a part of my life; I always use to do this and it comes before all the rest.

Monaco 1984

This is the year of Formula One debut of Ayrton: in torrential rain, he brings his Toleman up to an incredible second place surpassing the best drivers, including Niki Lauda and KekeRosberg. In each lap the Brazilian recovers several seconds on the winner Prost; then, the race was interrupted because of the plenty of water on track.

Portugal 1985

After winning the pole position, Ayrton dominated the race at Estoril under a deluge, and in this way, he wins the first race of his extraordinary career in Formula 1.

Japan 1988

At the start, Ayrton did turn off the engine thus finishing at the fourteenth place, while Prost is at the command followed by Berger and Capelli. Meanwhile, it has begun to rain and Ayrton, after a great comeback, surpasses Prost during the 28th passage; the Brazilian is much faster than him: he wins the race and the world title.

Japan 1989

The rivalry between Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna is very high, even if they are teammates. They play for the title and, during the penultimate round of the season tension leads them to a duel over the regulation: at six laps from the end, Ayrton tries to overtake the French, but they clash and their cars stop. Commissioners convince the Brazilian to continue the race, and finally he wins; but when it seemed he had took the victory, the Federation disqualifies him for having cut the chicane and Prost is world champion.

Japan 1990

It is the same thing of the previous year, but with the reversed roles: if Alain Prost goes out of the point-zone, Ayrton becomes mathematically world champion. At the start, the Brazilian hits Prost, taking him off the track: Ayrton is the new world champion. After one year from the victory, in an interview, he will admit the guilt of his gesture.

Brasil 1991

At the Interlagos circuit, in his native land, Ayrton is determined to win; at the start, he keeps the first position. During the 60th passage, however, it happens an unexpected situation: the change marches locks in the fourth gear. In the remaining laps the car of Ayrton continues to lose all gears except the sixth. He continues to drive until the end of the race with the gearbox locked, but this doesn’t prevent him to win; the great physical effort does not allow him to go out alone from his car.

Europa 1993

This year is not good for the Brazilian: the McLaren can't compete with the active suspension of Williams, which instead, thanks to the regulation of that year, is manage to dominate the season. Ayrton starts the race by the fourth place at Donington Park, when his favorite situation presents itself: it starts to rain. While everyone decelerates, the Brazilian finishes the race by surpassing totally every opponent during the last laps, except one. This race will be remembered.
