А́йртон Се́нна да Силва — бразильский автогонщик, трёхкратный чемпион мира Формулы-1 .
По итогам опроса, проведённого британским еженедельником Autosport среди бывших и действующих участников чемпионата Формулы-1, Сенна был назван лучшим гонщиком в истории Формулы-1. Всего за десять лет выступлений он выиграл 41 гонку и завоевал 65 поул-позиций. Получил от прессы прозвище «Волшебник». Наиболее яркая страница биографии Сенны — его соперничество с Аленом Простом в конце 1980-х — начале 1990-х. Сенна погиб в 1994 году в аварии на Гран-при Сан-Марино в Имоле.
Цитаты Айртон Сенна
„Второе место — первое среди неудачников.“
Быть вторым — значит быть первым среди проигравших.
„By being a racing driver you are under risk all the time. By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win. And the main motivation to all of us is to compete for victory, it's not to come 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th. I race to win as long as I feel it's possible. Sometimes you get it wrong? Sure, it's impossible to get it right all the time. But I race designed to win, as long as I feel I'm doing it right.“

„If I ever happen to have an accident that eventually costs me my life, I hope it is in one go. I would not like to be in a wheelchair. I would not like to be in a hospital suffering from whatever injury it was. If I’m going to live, I want to live fully, very intensely, because I am an intense person. It would ruin my life if I had to live partially.“

„We are made of emotions, we are all looking for emotions, it's only a question of finding the way to experience them. There are many different ways of experience them all. Perhaps one different thing, only that, one particular thing that Formula One can provide you, is that you know we are always expose to danger, danger of getting hurt, danger of dying.“

„Whoever you are, no matter what social position you have, rich or poor, always show great strength and determination, and always do everything with much love and deep faith in God. One day you will reach your goal.“

„On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit.' As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.“
