A hero’s legacy
Ayrton Senna was a man of unquestionable character and talent. Throughout his
journey, he faced tough obstacles, which, with great faith and determination, resulted in
important life lessons for everyone. Overcoming, resilience, ethic and determination are
values that keep Ayrton Senna's legacy alive in our memories.
The Brazilian’s hero
For Brazilians, Senna is a hero. In Brazil, waking up on Sundays to cheer for a national idol was the reality for many families in the country.
Seeing Senna carrying the Brazilian flag in the final lap was most people’s wish and a milestone in many Brazilian families. Ayrton left the sincere mark of a man who fought for his dreams and truth, honoring his country with great love.
In motor racing, his legacy brought new safety standards to Formula 1. The changes include the introduction of new barriers, redesigned curves to minimize the possibility of accidents, high-security measures, and adjustments to the driver’s cockpit. In December 2009, the British publication Autosport conducted research with more than 200 motor racing athletes to choose the best Formula 1 pilot of all time. The result could not be any different: Ayrton Senna won the title. The British state media, BBC, went even further and elected him as the best Formula 1 pilot in history. But the honors did not stop there! In April 2023, Ayrton Senna was declared the patron of Brazilian sport. The law is intended for people who stand out or represent certain categories in recognition of their performance in sports. Now Brazil is well represented.
Senna’s Brands
Not many people know that Ayrton’s talents were not just limited to the track. He was a great negotiator and a talented entrepreneur. These skills led to the creation of the Senna and Seninha brands.
The Senna brand focuses on bringing the values and lifestyle of Ayrton to his fans. Seninha, for his passion for children and his desire to transmit values such as determination, persistence, humility, and resilience playfully to new generations.
In addition, Ayrton was always concerned about the future of Brazil, especially of children and young people. He wanted everyone to have the opportunity to fully develop, just as he had. This desire was transformed into the Ayrton Senna Institute, founded in 1994 after his death.

France had eliminated Brazil in soccer, and Senna beat Prost. Can you be quiet? I open my mouth and spit it out.
Senna was very serious when it came to racing... even when he was resting, his competitive instincts took over for him.
I had to call my wife in Scotland and I said to Ayrton “I need to find a phone”... he took his 4x4, and we drove to the nearest town.
When he left the car after the Suzuka race in 88, Ayrton went to a quiet place… and realized that all the sacrifices were worth it.
I told Senna to go to my motorhome after practice, so I introduced him to the team leaders. I never introduced anyone… Ayrton was the one.
Senna was a future world champion, he could be arrogant and all, but no: “I want to take a picture for my mom”... even embarrassed, he took the photo.
He was obsessed with the idea of being World Karting Champion and he tried to do this since 1978.
When you work with someone like Ayrton, there are many moments of “Wow! What happened there?
Once Senna got into the race car, he went so deep that there were no other things around him… his ability to concentrate was greater.
Ayrton is very much an icon of motorsport, but not only that, he is an icon in our country or in Brazil, he is an icon around the world, as a human and as a sports person.
Thie is one of the things that Ayrton is remembered for, and I admire him for it: catching the flag, wanting to represent the country and show what is Brazilian.
Senna really caught my attention… I said: Senna has an extra second on his right leg.
