All over the world, he is revered as a saint and as the greatest driver the sport has ever seen. Indeed, the 2010 film of his life verged on the hagiographic, painting him as a beloved child of God put on Earth to fight injustice and help those less fortunate than him. But was his reputation disproportionately burnished because he died, aged only 34, in front of millions of TV viewers, thus sealing his reputation as the Messianic martyr of motor racing? This book takes a twofold look at both Ayrton da Silva, the softly-spoken and introspective man, and Senna the aggressive, ruthless and brilliant driver, distinct entities who often struggled to coexist peacefully together, and discusses why, of all the great drivers Formula One has nurtured, Senna attracts the most fervent following.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 126mmAuthor: Richard CraigGenre: BiographyTopic: Sports & HobbiesRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
