Today 54 years ago was born one of the top,if not the top, drivers ever passed by
Formula 1. Google, to honor the life and passion of Ayrton Senna da Silva, placed in their main page a “Doodle”, which is dedicates to him.
Senna won three championships with McLaren (’88, ’90, ’91), having led the previous years for the Toleman and Lotus and making a change in 1994 to Williams. According to his manager, Julian Jakobi, the agreement with Ferrari would probably come in 1996 and would last until 2000, when he intended to retire.
Who can forget the driving of the Brazilian in Monaco in 1984 ? Or his first victory next year in Portugal’s Japanese GP in 1988 and 1989 or the European GP of 1993, in which he proved once again his ability to drive in the wet , passing Schumacher, Wendlinger, Hill and Prost in the first round .
As relentless he was in the track, so genial he was on the outside, having donated more than
$ 400 million to charities for children of his homeland,but the end came for him too early, on May 1st 1994.
