More quotes by Ayrton Senna
If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver.
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 danger sensation is exciting. The challenge is to find new dangers.
Ayrton Senna
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.
Ayrton Senna
You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.
Ayrton Senna
I want to live fully, very intensely. I would never want to live partially, suffering from illness or injury. If I ever happen to have an accident that eventually costs my life, I hope it happens in one instant.
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
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
And suddenly I realised that I was no longer driving the car consciously. I was driving it by a kind of instinct, only I was in a different dimension.
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
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
I believe that we start to see our true personalities when we go through the most difficult moments. This is when we get stronger
Ayrton Senna
Money is a strange business. People who haven't got it aim it strongly. People who have are full of troubles.
Ayrton Senna
On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
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
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
Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than others.
Ayrton Senna
Women - always in trouble with them, but can't live without them.
Ayrton Senna
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
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
