		Monumental genius, frightening commitment, and a willingness to go right to the very edge forged Ayrton Senna da Silva into one of the greatest drivers, and his record for 65 pole positions was still unchallenged more than six years after his death in the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola on May 1 1994.
		Senna narrowly missed the World Championship in karting, having started driving at the age of four, and it rankled forever.

		Senna was blessed with the good looks of a romantic hero, and his dark eyes were mirrors to a soul of complexity and surprising vulnerability.

		On that weekend, Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian Formula 1 driver, gave an interview about the race at Imola, one of the fastest tracks in the sport.
		Motor-racing experts were convinced that the cause must have been mechanical failure: Ayrton Senna could not have lost control of his vehicle on the Tamburello bend for any other reason.

	The death of Ayrton Senna
		Ayrton Senna was regarded as one of the greatest drivers of the modern age of Formula One.
		Senna had managed to slow the car to 130mph just before the impact, but even with the strength of the cars, this was not enough, although the safety cell in the car remained largely intact, see figure on right.
		The next time he approached the corner, Senna was naturally cautious and lifted off slightly, an action that combined with the rough surface may have caused the loss of traction that sent the car off the track.

		Senna's win in the rain at Donington in 1993 with the McLaren-Ford, when at one point he had lapped the entire field, including Alain Prost in the (then-faster) Williams-Renault, was probably the finest race of his career, but perhaps his finest moment on the racetrack was in qualifying for Monte Carlo in 1988.
		Senna was the one man in Monte Carlo who seemed to have no problem in finding a clear lap.
		So, Senna was about a second and half in front of Prost in the other McLaren, who was in turn a second and quarter ahead of Berger in the first Ferrari, who lead his teammate by about two thirds of a second.

	prostfan.com - Ayrton Senna by Alain Prost
		Speaking now, more than four years after the death of Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost is in an invidious position, for while the two are linked for ever, indisputably the best drivers of their generation, so also each was very much the other's nemesis.
		Senna was also, from the start no respecter of reputations, and that upset many an established star.
		Senna and Prost, as usual, qualified 1-2, a second and a half clear of the rest, and Ayrton suggested that they not jeopardise their prospects by fighting at the first corner, Tosa, on the opening lap: whomsoever got there first would keep the lead.
