Ayrton Senna da Silva, generally known simply as Ayrton Senna, was a Brazilian racing driver, born March 21, 1960 in São Paulo and died May 1, 1994 in Bologna, following an accident during the San Marino Grand Prix.
Idol in Brazil where his status has surpassed that of sports champion, he is considered one of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula 1, winning the title of world champion three times, in 1988, 1990 and 1991, winning 41 Grands Prix and achieving 65 pole positions during the eleven seasons he contested.
After beginning competition in Brazil with karting, he finished vice-world champion in the discipline twice in 1979 and 1980. Ayrton Senna then began his apprenticeship in single-seaters in the United Kingdom the following year. British Formula Ford champion (Formula Ford 1600 in 1981 and Formula Ford 2000 in 1982) and Formula 3 in 1983, he obtained his place in Formula 1 within the modest Toleman-Hart team during the 1984 season. From his fifth Grand Prix start, in Monaco on June 3, he revealed himself to all Formula 1 observers by obtaining his first podium under a downpour, narrowly failing against the driver who would become his greatest. rival, Alain Prost. Hired by Lotus-Renault the following year, he asserted himself there for three seasons as one of the main forces on the grid, obtaining sixteen pole positions, six victories as well as a third place in the championship in 1987.
