Memories of Senna : Anecdotes and Insights from Those Who Knew Him

Ayrton Senna was more than a great racing driver: he was a giant of a man who, 17 years after his death, is still mourned as no sportsman has ever been. Much has been written about him, but this book approaches the subject with a powerfully different focus. More than 120 people who knew him, worked with him and competed against him were asked a single question: what is your strongest memory of Senna? The result, told entirely in direct quotes, stands as an intimate, heartfelt portrait of the man, from his early days as a karter to his death at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

The late Christopher Hilton was a well-respected former journalist with the Daily Express who became an authority on the life of Ayrton Senna. He wrote best-selling biographies of the legendary Brazilian driver and Michael Schumacher in addition to numerous other well-received motor-racing, sports and history books.
