I'm pleased to see Senna's memory is still kept alive and with his teriffic record in F1 I'm sure it always will be.

Happy Birthday to Ayrton, I feel I missed so much not seeing him compete in F1.   :(

I am lucky enough to remember Aryton racing, and sadly also seen his terrible fatal accident. I don't think there is much chance of him being forgotten in the near future. RIP one of the greatest of all time.

I wasn't a big Senna fan when he was
racing but with time passed I've come
to see how great he was

I can't say I really saw Senna racing because San Marino 1994 was the first time I saw the start of a race. But even I know he was absolutely phenomenal. Ayrton, thank you for giving millions of people so much enjoyment watching all that sublime skill in action for so many years and for defining late 80s/early 90s F1.

I feel like I am unlucky,because I came to know about formula 1 when ayrton crashed...But since then he is my hero...As the time passed by I started to know a lot about him and felt sad how he left us,the formula one fans so early...
As it is said,a man remains in this for few moments but his legacy remains forever...

Rest in peace master of all the masters,rest in peace...

here is my earlier post of November 2008 about the great man:

i have always been totally fascinated by ayrton SENNA and not just about how could enter an "out-of-body" supreme driving zone almost at will either

he was such a complex fellow with extreme traits at either end of the personality spectrum - sometimes a genius saint and others an ugly smouldering devil

i am quite sure he burned the trail and was the 'model' for the ruthless but superb driving style of michael SCHUMACHER until the excesses he later developed into an art form just had to be squashed by the officials before it really got out of hand

and i have read some reports and articles comparing lewis HAMILTON to MS for some dubious driving tactics too

perhaps ya have to be a bit of a bastard to succeed after all?

I think Lauda & Prost also leaned towards the dark side sometimes as well, so you could well be right with your theory SennaMan.
