Senna visited the young Brazilian driver in the medical center and was the one to deliver the news that Rubens was okay. In the episode, Barrichello calls Ayrton \u201cBoss,\u201d a term of respect, and this relationship\u2014as well as other moments shared by the two\u2014was highlighted by Rubinho in a conversation with the official Senna website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"25 Anos do Tricampeonato | com Rubens Barrichello | #SennaTV - 026\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W6nfCsQKQFE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The increasingly frequent accidents in Formula 1 during 1994 emphasized the urgent need for a Driver\u2019s Association to have a stronger voice and presence in the sport\u2019s decision-making.
