All F-1 fans, and especially Senna fans must read this great bioraphy. I have many Senna books, but even though this is not a lengthy book it is by far the Best. MUST BUY.. Ayrton was a driver first, and didn't make many friends! A very condensed book about the life of Ayrton before and after his accident. Was hoping for more information about the aftermath, trial and inquiry. Even with those short comings, Ayrton's life and his racing skills come to light.
