Айртон Сенна цитаты

„Рано или поздно на входе в поворот вы осознаете: вот оно, чего вы так боялись! Улет с трассы, все! На дороге удержаться невозможно. Но если вы все же каким-то чудом остались на асфальте, то знайте, что это и была та грань. Так теперь надо ездить всегда.“

—  Айртон Сенна

„У меня нет идолов. Я восхищаюсь работой, самоотверженностью и умением.“

—  Айртон Сенна

„Когда я стремлюсь к победе, я всегда нахожу в себе ещё немного больше, снова и снова. Но в этом есть противоречие: когда ты становишься быстр как никогда, то ощущаешь себя невообразимо хрупким и уязвимым, потому что за долю секунды всё это может исчезнуть. И две эти крайности, дополняя друг друга, помогают познать себя всё глубже и глубже.“

—  Айртон Сенна

„Ощущение опасности возбуждает. Это призыв к поиску новых опасностей.“

—  Айртон Сенна

„Деньги — странная вещь. Люди, которые не имеют их, сильно к ним стремятся. Люди, которые их имеют, имеют также много проблем.“

—  Айртон Сенна

„С твоим интеллектом, упорством, интуицией и опытом, ты способен взлететь очень высоко.“

—  Айртон Сенна

„Машина должна быть частью тебя, твоей плотью, а ты — её составной частью. Только так можно стать единственным в своем роде.“

—  Айртон Сенна

„Второе место — первое среди неудачников.“

—  Айртон Сенна

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.“

—  Ayrton Senna

Interview at the 1990 Australian Grand Prix, November 1990 http://youtube.com/watch?v=9j6dGOGftY4

„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.“

—  Ayrton Senna

Interview, January 1994 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/20702-ayrton-senna-fourteen-years-later

„I'm very privileged. I've always had a very good life. But everything that I've gotten out of life was obtained through dedication and a tremendous desire to achieve my goals… a great desire for victory, meaning victory in life, not as a driver. To all of you who have experienced this or are searching now, let me say that whoever you may be in your life, whether you're at the highest or most modest level, you must show great strength and determination and do everything with love and a deep belief in God. One day, you'll achieve your aim and you'll be successful.“

—  Ayrton Senna

„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.“

—  Ayrton Senna

„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.“

—  Ayrton Senna

„Basically our championship starts here. Fourteen races, not sixteen. It's not a comfortable position to be in, but that's the reality. The team is conscious about the challenge we have to make to recover the ground over Benetton.“

„I started racing go-karts. And I love karts. It's the most breathtaking sport in the world. More than F1, indeed, I used to like it most.“

TV Interview Roda Viva, TV Cultura 1986 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGcO6lXb2Zo

„I believe in the ability of focusing strongly in something, then you are able to extract even more out of it. It's been like this all my life, and it's been only a question of improving it, and learning more and more and there is almost no end. As you go through you just keep finding more and more. It's very interesting, it's fascinating.“
