IDOL MANAGER RELATIONSHIP CHEAT DRIVER
His death prompted safety provisions that have ensured no driver has died in a Formula One cockpit since. In Imola, today and for the next four days, there will be races in honour of the man who won 41 races and 65 poles. Murray Walker later described it as the hardest commentary of his life, treading a fine line between empty optimism and morbid fatalism as he watched, unable to know precisely how serious Senna's predicament was. Secondly, the whole dramatic scene was beamed around the world on TV, giving it a global impact never known before.
Niki Lauda, the three-time world champion, said: 'God has had his hand over Formula One for a long time. Before the Austrian rookie Ratzenberger, no driver had died for 12 years. Senna's death shook Formula One more profoundly than that of any other. He had an enormous heart, a simple way of life and had simple dreams. 'The first was to finish his career at Ferrari the second was to get to know Disneyworld the third was to become a father. 'Ayrton had three dreams,' she says fondly. 'I spent as long as I could with his body. She remembers the remarkable funeral in Sao Paulo, when the whole sprawling city stopped to mourn its icon: the brooding, brilliant, ruthless, clever, mystical, megalomaniacal Senna. It means I cannot say he was the love of my life.' For me, it was special, but now I am married and have a child. He was loved across the world more than he ever knew. 'My time with Ayrton was a great love story. Galisteu, who has just turned 41, married Alexandre Iodice in June 2010 and has a three-year-old son, Vittorio. Galisteu, seen here in 2009, claimed Senna wanted to end his career with the famous Italian outfit Ferrari It took me many years to recover my life, especially amorously.' 'It was very difficult for Brazil, for the whole world, but even more for me. It was incredible that he died doing what he knew best in life. 'In my head it was impossible: he could only die of old age. 'Wow, that's good', I said, thinking he must be improving.
'It was a friend: 'Adriane, you don't need to come'. I imagined it was Ayrton saying, 'You don't need to come, everything is OK'. 'When the plane was about to take off, the pilot said there was a call from the tower. After a 37-minute delay, the race restarted, to be won by Michael Schumacher, who was driving in a Benetton believed by Senna to have flouted that season's new rules outlawing traction control. I got on the plane thinking he was still alive hurt but not killed.'īack at Imola, Senna had been taken out of the car and flown to hospital. 'I answered the phone and it was the wife of his best friend telling me I must get over to Imola. Nicola Larini, Michael Schumacher and Flavio Briatore react to the news of Senna's death In Ayrton, o Heroi Revelado (Ayrton, the Hero Revealed), author Ernesto Rodrigues claims that Galisteu had contacted her former lover and that Senna's brother, Leonardo, had played tapes of these secret conversations to him. While Senna was undoubtedly emotional having visited the site of Ratzenberger's crash, there is a suggestion that his relationship with Galisteu itself was preying on his mind. He told him to pack it all in and 'let's go fishing'. The advice Galisteu gave Senna, the thrice world champion and arguably the greatest driver of all time, echoed the words of Professor Sid Watkins, the Brazilian's friend and Formula One's medical delegate as well as one of the world's leading brain surgeons. I remember telling him, 'Ayrton, don't enter that race'.' 'I had known him anguished before but never heard his voice like it was that day. He was very upset by the death of Roland Ratzenberger, a fellow driver who died on Saturday (in qualifying).
'Rubens Barrichello, his good friend, was in hospital (after an accident in Friday practice).
