About Ayrton Senna

In the world’s fastest and most global sport, Ayrton Senna is considered by many to be the fastest F1 driver of all time. His impressive figures help explain why the driver has earned the title of sporting legend: winning three F1 world titles, 41 victories, 65 pole positions and 80 podiums between 1984 and 1994. Senna, however, is much more than just statistics and records: the Brazilian was responsible for some of the most magical moments in world motorsports. Ayrton established a new level of excellence in the sport and was a legend in the art of surpassing his own limits. Senna’s passion for a better Brazil, in addition to his deep-rooted drive and determination both on and off the track, set him apart. His legacy inspired the founding of the Ayrton Senna Institute. For 28 years, its mission has been to develop well-rounded individuals, preparing them for all aspects of life in the 21st century.
