Overview

This second episode of "Ayrton Senna do Brasil" tells the story of an Ayrton who seemed to enter a trance while racing. His dedication and obsession with perfection in every turn and straight placed him among the fastest drivers in the world. Berger recalls a unique spectacle during Senna’s time—beyond the race and his winning strategies, it was the pole position show. Back then, there were no qualifying rounds or tire changes; it was all about skill. Ayrton had a strategy of going out in the final moments to smash the track time, a breathtaking and almost otherworldly display. Gerhard Berger describes Senna's races as extraordinary, almost supernatural.
