Catalogue Note
Ayrton Senna (1960-1994) is the third most successful Formula One driver of all time but considered by many, including today’s elite drivers, to be the greatest Formula One racing driver to have lived. A sometimes controversial figure and never a keen political player, he could be as outspoken off the circuit as he was mesmerizing on it. His feud with Alain Prost off the track combined with daredevil driving on it enthralled fans until his untimely death at Imola in 1994.
