Ayrton Senna, twenty years after his death, remains the most loved and dreamed of F1 champion. King of pole, when the flying lap in practice was terrifying and merciless, king of wet races and three times world champion, protagonist of a fairytale dualism with Alain Prost, the Brazilian remains alive in the memory of those who saw him race and is regret even by those who have not lived it. In the twentieth anniversary of the tragic accident in Imola, which took place on 1 May 1994, the time is ripe to go and rediscover what Ayrton really was. An emotional and rigorous journey conducted on the double track of visual testimony and intimate deepening. The protagonist of the volume is the image: hundreds of shots, all mostly in color, revive the unrepeatable career of this champion: from the beginnings on the kart to the lightning-fast experience in minor formulas in England up to the sudden transition to Formula 1, before with Toleman then with Lotus, team with which they mature their first victories. But Ayrton's definitive consecration takes place at McLaren: three world titles between 1988 and 1993 but, above all, a sequence of companies that smell of legend. All accompanied by unpublished revelations, anecdotes, confidences and stories of real life given by those who knew him well. To make the heart of those who have not forgotten it beat beat and have a vibrant and different story, a new glimpse to restore brightness to an ancient feeling, capable of crystallizing itself in the images and between the lines of this book.
