For many Formula One is associated with the great racer Ayrton Senna da Silva who for the career managed to become three times the champion in "Royal races". If not the terrible accident which claimed the pilot's life, for certain titles would be more. At the time Senna said that he can't drive on the road which isn't dangerous. He always strove for perfection. The Brazilian perfectly understood that all have restrictions, but he has them much less, than at other racers. It was recognized by the whole world.
For what he created during the races Senna got the nickname "Wizard". Even if the racer started with the last positions, all the same could come as a result on the first place, despite of weather conditions and wear of tires.
Beginning of the career
Ayrton Senna was born in Brazil, the city of São Paulo. The father put the son for the steering wheel the card at the age of four years and at once understood that the real master of driving grows. In 13 years Ayrton already the participant of competitions in karting. He was lucky that parents had the opportunity to support financially as this sport demands certain investments. In 18 years Senna becomes the champion in the class Formula Ford 1600, and five years later he manages to win the British Formula-3. In 24 years Ayrton debuts in Formula One in the squad of Toulman Naturally, long stay in one of the most weak teams of "Royal races" isn't in the plans of future champion. For this reason the year later it passes into more eminent "Lotus". The first victory came to it to the Grand Prix of Portugal. The racer started about the poll-pozishn under the pouring rain and could win with the big breakaway. In the consequence he gained the victory practically in all races when there was the rain.
Rivalry and partnership with Alain Prost
Piloting not on the strongest race car, the Brazilian all the same gained victories. At the same time he was exacting not only to himself, but also mechanics, forcing them to improve the car. However after a while all the same passed "McLaren" which set the tone in races under banners of stronger team. Exactly here Alain Prost with whom there were always intense relations becomes his workmate. For the career of the racer Ayrton Senna several times fought with other pilots, sometimes sharply passed the opinion on purposely perfect accidents. All this says that it was always aimed only at the victory. So, Nelson Pique and Eddie Irvine suffered from hands of the champion, for example. Gradually to him it becomes close in the McLaren team that led to leaving in Williams-Reno in 1994. It only strengthens rivalry with Alain Prost who was the partner. The team only began to gain steam and often resorted to testing of the race car directly in the race.
The accident which made Senna the legend
Year began badly. At the beginning of the season in one of races Roland Rattsenberger perishes that became the disturbing zvonochnok. During qualification of the Grand Prix of San Marino Senna's friend Rubens of Barrichello has the serious accident. In the race the Brazilian seeking to break forward, on one of turns disperses up to 310 km/h, something happens to the race car and it crashes into the wall. It were the last seconds of the great racer. After Ayrton Senna's death, drastic measures were taken as much as possible to secure tracks, but not to return the greatest racer any more. He was succeeded by Michael Schumacher who managed to dominate for the decade in Formula One. But if Senna survived, hardly Michael would enjoy victories in it big quantity. The great Brazilian always was slightly ahead of the opponents.
