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
Image
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.

I cannot live on an island of prosperity when I'm surrounded by a sea of misery.

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
Image
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
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
Image
Fear is exciting for me.
Ayrton Senna
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
You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.
Ayrton Senna
Image
You commit yourself to such a level where there is no compromise. You give everything you have, everything, absolutely everything.
Ayrton Senna
Image
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.

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.
