Ayrton to this day is the greatest race driver I saw race. He captivated like no driver I’ve ever seen and was spectacular to watch.
I saw many of his races in FF2000 and most of his races in F3 and it was at that point he stood out as very special. People talk about Tommy Byrne and I remember him being super fast too but he didn’t captivate in the same way as Senna did, not even close and I’m half Irish.
Something about Senna and I’ve not seen it since. He wasn’t perfect and some of his justifications for his actions were difficult to support but he was so fast and on his day peerless.
