Senna was very serious when it came to racing... even when he was resting, his competitive
instincts took over for him.

I had to call my wife in Scotland and I said to Ayrton “I need to find a phone”... he took his 4x4,
and we drove to the nearest town.

I told Senna to go to my motorhome after practice, so I introduced him to the team leaders. I
never introduced anyone… Ayrton was the one.

Senna was a future world champion, he could be arrogant and all, but no: “I want to take a
picture for my mom”... even embarrassed, he took the photo.

He was obsessed with the idea of being World Karting Champion and he tried to do this since

Ayrton is very much an icon of motorsport, but not only that, he is an icon in our country or in
Brazil, he is an icon around the world, as a human and as a sports person.

Thie is one of the things that Ayrton is remembered for, and I admire him for it: catching the
flag, wanting to represent the country and show what is Brazilian.
