More quotes by Ayrton Senna
I believe in the ability of focusing strongly in something, then you are able to extract even more out of it. It's been like this all my life, and it's been only a question of improving it, and learning more and more and there is almost no end. As you go through you just keep finding more and more. It's very interesting, it's fascinating.
Ayrton Senna
The harder I push, the more I find within myself. I am always looking for the next step, a different world to go into, areas where I have not been before. It's lonely driving a Grand Prix car, but very absorbing. I have experienced new sensations, and I want more. That is my excitement, my motivation.
Ayrton Senna
Pure driving, pure racing, that´s what makes me happy.

These things bring you to reality as to how fragile you are at the same moment you are doing something that nobody else is able to do. The same moment that you are seen as the best, the fastest and somebody that cannot be touched, you are enormously fragile.
Ayrton Senna
On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
Ayrton Senna
Once you are in it you are in it, you have to go all the way to the end because you commit yourself to such a level where there is no compromise. You give everything you have absolutely everything. Sometimes you find even more because you require more if you want to stay ahead and you want to win.
Ayrton Senna
If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver.

Women - always in trouble with them, but can't live without them.
Ayrton Senna
If a person has no dreams, they no longer have any reason to live. Dreaming is necessary, although in the dream reality should be glimpsed. For me this is a principle of life.
Ayrton Senna
You commit yourself to such a level where there is no compromise. You give everything you have, everything, absolutely everything.
Ayrton Senna
The main thing is to be yourself. Many times its through a mistake that you learn. And the main thing is to make sure you learn through your mistakes and get better.
Ayrton Senna
With regard to performance, commitment, effort, dedication, there is no middle ground. Or you do something very well or not at all.
Ayrton Senna
You either commit yourself as a professional racing driver that's designed to win races or you come second or you come third or fifth and am not design to come third, fourth or fifth, I race to win.
Ayrton Senna
I continuously go further and further learning about my own limitations, my body limitation, psychological limitations. It's a way of life for me.
Ayrton Senna
Wealthy men can't live in an island that is encircled by poverty. We all breathe the same air. We must give a chance to everyone, at least a basic chance.
Ayrton Senna
It's important that the drivers stay together, because in difficult moments we have each other. If we are not together the financial and political interests of the organisers and constructors come to the fore.
Ayrton Senna
We are made of emotions, we are all looking for emotions, it's only a question of finding the way to experience them.
Ayrton Senna
In many ways we are a dream for people, not a reality. That counts in your mind. It shows how much you can touch people, and as much as you can try to give those people somehow it is nothing compared to what they live in their own mind, in their dreams, for you.
Ayrton Senna
If you think I'm fast, just wait until you see my nephew Bruno.
Ayrton Senna
Winning is the most important. Everything is consequence of that.
