This deeply personal and beautifully illustrated volume - published to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death - draws together the memories of those who knew and loved him, telling in their own words why he was so special to them, as a driver, as a man, as a colleague, as a friend, and as a hero. Christopher Hilton, author of previous sensitive studies of Senna, asked a host of people inside and outside motorsport for their strongest memory of Senna. Their answers were touching and surprising.

Excellent Book,
This review is from: Memories of Ayrton Senna (Hardcover)
I just finished reading this book yesterday. I wanted to go slow and absorb everything everyone said about Ayrton Senna. It's a really great book. If you buy it I don't think you'll be disappointed.
