I'm a modern f1 fan so I never saw senna drive but I heard about him and youtubed him and saw his skill and was instantly hooked on him to think at the time I got into f1 there was Alonso Hamilton's beginning and buttons championship but Senna just had something none of them have.This book is a very interesting read especially to a major senna fan. A must buy!!!!!
