AYRTON SENNA

Some say he is a genius, others call him arrogant. What is certainly true is that Ayrton Da Silva Senna is the fastest man in motor racing. He won the World Championship in 1988 and 1990 and he has won more than twenty Grand Prix altogether.
Ayrton Senna was born on 21st March 1960, in Brazillia. At 5ft 9in ( 1m 76cm ) Ayrton is a little taller than most other racing drivers. He is good-looking, with short, wavy, dark hair and dark brown eyes.
Senna does not like to talk about his private life. His marriage in the early 1980s lasted a year. ‘To be married to a Formula One driver,’ he says, ‘Is an impossible lifestyle for a wife. But I will get married again’.
He has an older sister an a younger brother. His parents live in a large house in the north of Sao Paulo but Senna himself lives in Monaco, in Europe.
As far as hobbies go, he likes flying model planes. He also enjoys jet-skiing on water and flying with his father over the cattle country which his family owns in Brazil.
What motivated him to win ?. ‘ Driving doesn’t seem like a job. I started driving when I was four. I Love feeling the power of the engine and the wind in my face. When I drive, I experience new sensations and I always want more. That’ s my motivation ’.
