Pure driving, pure racing, that´s what makes me happy.

Fear is exciting for me.

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.

It's very interesting, it's fascinating.

If you think I'm fast, just wait until you see my nephew Bruno.
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
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
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
Image
With regard to performance, commitment, effort, dedication, there is no middle ground. Or you do something very well or not at all.
Ayrton Senna
Image
I cannot live on an island of prosperity when I'm surrounded by a sea of misery.
Ayrton Senna
Image
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
