Last week Brazilian F1 driver Ayrton Senna was choosen as best Formula 1 driver ever. This was the result of a poll by Autosport Magazine among 217 current and former F1 drivers. Number two is Micheal Schumacher and number 3 is Juan Manuel Fangio.
This summer when I was in Brazil I was able to visit the grave of Ayrton Senna. Senna is burried at the Murumbi Cemetery in São Paulo. His grave is very simple, not what you expect for a man who was such a hero in his country and for others. Including me.
Being at Ayrton Senna’s grave was a very special moment for me. I cannot find words to describe the feelings I felt at that moment, I will not even try to describe them. And just leave it with this. I am very happy that I have been able to go there and pay my respect to one of the greatest champions who drove in Formula 1. And sadly died too young.
