Ci sono piloti che vincono, altri che restano nella Storia. Ma c'è un solo pilota che nel ricordo fa ancora battere il cuore. Ayrton Senna è stato l'ultimo mito di un'era romantica e sentimentale.

Raccontarlo oggi - scartando la banale contabilità dei trionfi - significa tornare a recitare un atto di fede.
