Image
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
Image
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.

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
Image
Sometimes I try to beat other people's achievements but on many occasions I find it's better to beat my own achievements. That can give me more satisfaction. I don't feel happy if I am comfortable. Something inside me pushes me when I get comfortable. It makes me go farther and I want to keep pushing.

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
Image
You commit yourself to such a level where there is no compromise. You give everything you have, everything, absolutely everything.

Image
It's going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I'll risk saying that we'll be lucky if something really serious doesn't happen.
Ayrton Senna
Image
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
Image
With regard to performance, commitment, effort, dedication, there is no middle ground. Or you do something very well or not at all.
