Because I was taken to the chapel that you all know. And religion is a touchy point. Very difficult. Easy to be misunderstood. But, for me, it\u2019s a fact. It\u2019s not only by reading the Bible, where you read in black and white. But I try as hard as I can to understand life through God. And that means every day of my life, not only when I\u2019m at home, but when I\u2019m doing my work too\u201d, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_22182\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22182\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.senna.com\/grandes-campeoes-da-f1-ayrton-senna-admirava-talento-de-jim-clark\/29468711_2082265091799907_3039185765650137088_n\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-22182\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22182\" src=\"https:\/\/www.senna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/29468711_2082265091799907_3039185765650137088_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.senna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/29468711_2082265091799907_3039185765650137088_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.senna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/29468711_2082265091799907_3039185765650137088_n-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.senna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/29468711_2082265091799907_3039185765650137088_n-768x525.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22182\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ayrton Senna with pupil Daniel Davidson at Loretto School in Musselburgh in 1991.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A two-time Formula One world champion (1963 and 1965), Jim Clark was one of the greatest drivers ever and one of Ayrton Senna\u2019s main sources of inspiration in motor sports.
