The brilliant F1 race-car driver, Ayrton Senna, was at the peak of his popularity when he suddenly died at the young age of 34. Even when he found himself entangled in sports politics, struggling to control the machines, and despairing over the world of formula one racing, Senna continued to seek speed, victory and justice. His eyes, filled with deep ideals and melancholy, were always clear.
