Product description
Ayrton Senna was one of the greatest automotive champions of all time, an exceptional driver who became timeless especially after his tragic end on May 1, 1994, on the Enzo and Dino Ferrari circuit in Imola.
Published in collaboration with the MAUTO National Automobile Museum on the occasion of the great exhibition thirty years after the death of the Brazilian driver, the volume proposes a monographic re-reading of wide vision of the extraordinary figure of Ayrton Senna through a wide variety of materials and historical documents. Through the contributions of Carlo Cavicchi, Emiliano Tozzi, Angelo Orsi and Paolo d’Alessio, the volume traces Senna’s career from the experiences on karts to the single-seaters of Formula 1, from the first Formula Ford to the last Williams alongside historical documents and rare memorabilia.
And then the Senna man who has always accompanied the Senna pilot.
The accurate gallery of images chosen from thousands of shots in the archives of the greatest and most celebrated photographers of the time, many of whom were dear friends of Ayrton, not only makes the news, but digs into the soul and eyes of the champion. Behind the snapshots of masters such as Bernard Asset, Ercole Colombo, Martyn Elford, Angelo Orsi, Rainer W. Schlegelmilch, Keith and Mark Sutton, Steven Tee and the photographers at LAT Images, there is pure emotion.
