Ayrton Senna: The Greatest Racing Driver Ever with the Biggest Heart. Here's Why

in #life7 years ago

If you're less than 20 years old probably you've never heard of Ayrton Senna, a famous brazilian Formula One pilot, considered the best F1 racing driver ever by Lewis Hamilton, Sylvester Stallone, Fernando Alonso and many many people.

But do you want to know why he was the greatest F1 driver?

Because one day he was racing and he stopped to save another racer's life, putting his own life in great danger.

Fuel was leaking and the car could explode. Senna was the only one to stop and save Eric Comas' life.

Many years later Eric Comas thanked him on this video:

And he says: "if I'm here today it's because Ayrton Senna saved my life" "(...) Senna turned off the engine and avoided the explosion"

I've never heard anything like that. Senna cared a lot about people.

In 2017 Lewis Hamilton was presented with Senna's helmet, and he got extremely emotional:

What about when Michael Schumacher started to cry a lot while on an interview when he won his 41st race, equaling Ayrton Senna, exactly 6 years after Senna died. Very emotional

I'm a huge fan of Ayrton Senna. What about you?

Forgot to mention some japanese reporters crying on live TV the day Ayrton Senna died. He was very famous in Japan.
