"I am very glad to share with you this very special publication about my brother, Ayrton Senna, the three time F1 World Champion. Through these pages you will know more about the man and the pilot who enchanted crowds at the circuits worldwide and still today has a legion of fans and fervent admirers."
Viviane Senna
During his lifetime, Brazilian Formula 1 champion Ayrton Senna was a leader in his sport, a pioneer in driving technique, a hard racer and a compassionate man. As well as his amazing on-track skills, he believed that impoverished children should be able to realise their potential. Following his fatal crash during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, Senna's remarkable career and humanitarian outlook have continued to inspire the world. The Ayrton Senna Institute has helped educate more than 7.8 million Brazilian children since 1984, and its impact continues to grow.
Now, for the first time, the Senna family has opened its archives, sharing never-before seen photographs of private moments from home and at the racetrack. Additionally, an assortment of treasured ephemera from Senna's life is included in 13 bound-in document envelopes. Readers can pull out and examine realistic facsimiles of his baptism certificate, handwritten letters and race agendas, competition licences, autographed team stickers, and more than 20 other unique items.
The book's stunning imagery is enhanced by Christopher Hilton's compelling narrative. In exclusive new interviews, Senna's family and team-mates share personal anecdotes and favourite memories. Fully illustrated and uniquely interactive, Ayrton Senna: Memories and mementoes from a life lived at full speed will be a cherished addition to any fan's collection.
Christopher Hilton is a leading authority on contemporary and historic motorsport and has written more than 30 books on the subject, specialising in biographies on modern Formula 1 drivers including Michael Schumacher and Senna. His books have been translated into 15 languages. He lives in Hertfordshire. |
