And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.
Ayrton Senna

And suddenly I realised that I was no longer driving the car consciously. I was driving it by a kind of instinct, only I was in a different dimension.
Ayrton Senna

Because in a split second, it's gone.

Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose.
Ayrton Senna

Fear is exciting for me.
Ayrton Senna

I continuously go further and further learning about my own limitations, my body limitation, psychological limitations. It's a way of life for me.
Ayrton Senna

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.
Ayrton Senna

I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence.
Ayrton Senna

I was already on pole, then by half a second and then one second and I just kept going. Suddenly I was nearly two seconds faster than anybody else, including my team mate with the same car.
Ayrton Senna

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.
Ayrton Senna

It was like I was in a tunnel. Not only the tunnel under the hotel but the whole circuit was a tunnel. I was just going and going, more and more and more and more. I was way over the limit but still able to find even more.
Ayrton Senna

It's going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I'll risk saying that we'll be lucky if something really serious doesn't happen.
Ayrton Senna

Money is a strange business. People who haven't got it aim it strongly. People who have are full of troubles.
Ayrton Senna

My biggest error? Something that is to happen yet.
Ayrton Senna

Of course there are moments that you wonder how long you should be doing it because there are other aspects which are not nice, of this lifestyle. But I just love winning.
Ayrton Senna

On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
Ayrton Senna

Racing, competing, it's in my blood. It's part of me, it's part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else.
Ayrton Senna

The danger sensation is exciting. The challenge is to find new dangers.
Ayrton Senna

Then suddenly something just kicked me. I kind of woke up and realised that I was in a different atmosphere than you normally are. My immediate reaction was to back off, slow down.
Ayrton Senna

There are no small accidents on this circuit.
