Whistling in the Rain - Tribute to Ayrton Senna

If one day the speed kills me, don't cry because I was smiling.——Paul Walker.
In 2014, "The Fast and the Furious" star Paul Walker——the handsome guy with charming blue eyes, died in During a test drive of the new Porsche Carrera GT. The actor I liked died in the car I liked. Reminds me of Ayrton Senna, the legendary driver who died unexpectedly at the San Marino Grand Prix. So I started with this quote from Paul, though I don't want to give up, but I hope I don't grieve for them - if one day I die of speed, don't cry, because I will greet you with a smile.
The first time I saw the photo of Senna, I was infected by the smile of this handsome Brazilian man - a smile with a tropical temperature, warm and hearty, rather than a serious look with a frown - and his friend Alain, who was also a friend and enemy. Prost is a very different feeling. It's a pity I can't see him racing because he died in the tamburello the year I was born. Maybe some people think that the drivers of this era are more valuable, why should they be stubborn to him?
Yes, in our era, there are Schumacher and Hakkinen in the FI arena. Although they are now bedridden or withdrawn from the track, compared with the current advanced computer technology and car modification technology, the ability to manipulate the car has been It's not the same thing, so for a while, even racing cars became "electronic technology warfare". So why when it rains, Senna wins -- his "Rain in the Rain" moniker isn't just a fluke. Perhaps he is really like what he said in "I'm Waiting for You in the Rain", Senna knows that "your heart determines what you see." He has become one with the racing car, "A racer should not be afraid of the rain, should embrace the rain. Your foot needs to be very light, like an egg on the brake pedal, and you don't want to break the egg. That's what driving in the rain is like."
Also, his respect for racing made me understand more about the qualities of a racer. For example, he is more willing to admit his mistakes than Alain Prost, rather than blaming the car or something. Senna prefers to stay in the garage and work on the parts of the car with the people on the team, rather than the driver who likes to go out to celebrate after a victory. A person who can understand the car thoroughly will certainly be more comfortable in the manipulation of driving? So, this is the reason why he is the only one who can win the championship in the rain - he no longer needs to "see" the track, as if he has a plan for painting... I remember a time when the shifting failed and he ran in only the highest gear After the last few corners, he fainted in the car after winning the victory; remembering that his hands were already weak, he still held up the champagne belonging to the champion... At that time, I felt that some people said that a focused man is the sexiest, but now I feel that Men who focus on driving are incredibly charming.
Although his growth is not a magnificent inspirational story-although he is Brazilian, he grew up in a wealthy family, likes karting and surfing, and then moved to the F1 arena, where he has won many achievements... very realistic and straightforward. But he had faith, and it became the faith of all Brazilians. In the documentary "Forever Car God", I saw some Brazilian people complain that nothing is good in Brazil, and Senna is their only happiness and their pride. I suddenly understood that for the people living at the bottom in Brazil, Senna's victory is the source of their confidence in their own country, the spiritual leader of their optimistic life, and the capital of their pride. If you really want to give Senna a title that fits such a title, I think it is "Godfather".
So, when he tragically died on the track, all of Brazil wept. When his body was brought back to Brazil, huge crowds of people came to give him the final ride...full crowds, from the airport to the funeral home. Speaking without emotion, the crowd is dense and the atmosphere is dignified, even far more than sending the prime minister off the ten-mile long street...because they are not only sending away their great men, but also sending them away. The soul attached to Senna...
However, his death, I think, was due to a kind of psychological grudge after witnessing several comrades-in-arms crashes and even death, and he hesitated for a moment in the corner. However, this also gave international racing a serious wake-up call. After Senna, there is no sacrifice in international F1.
Whenever it rains in the sky, I seem to think of the engine sound of that yellow F1 car whizzing by...not beautiful, but full of fighting spirit and spirit. Perhaps, dying with the racing car is also a good destination for a driver who loves cars like his life. Bless you silently in the rain, and heaven will be fearless.

Sometimes when you find that you have a limit, you work hard, but when you reach that limit, you know you can move forward a little bit. With your determination, your will, your intuition, and your experience, you can fly farther!
—Car god Senna

    In the end death makes eternity.

    Damn, I cried when Brazil won the championship. This kind of X classic is a must-see for men.

Senna quotes

  • Viviane Senna: On that morning when he woke up, he asked God to talk to him. He opened the Bible and read a passage which said: God would give him the greatest of all gifts. Which was God himself.

  • John Bisignano: There's only one word that describes Ayrton's style, and that is "fast." He would take the car beyond its design capabilities. He would brake later, fly into these corners where the car was just over the edge, and somehow he could dance a dance with that car to where it stayed on the track.
