Book description
Millions of people around the world watched in horror on that fateful
day in Imola at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix when Ayrton Senna's car
careered off the track at 190mph. The greatest driver in Formula One
history was dead.
In this classic sports book, reissued to tie-in with a new Working
Title documentary film about Senna, Richard Williams explores the
complex Brazilian who was a hero in his own country and an icon to
everyone who loved not just motor-racing but sport itself. In his
drive to win and his desire always to test himself to the limit, Senna
embodied all that is best and most thrilling in sport.
Richard Williams is chief sports writer for the
Guardian.
