I confess I’m not a F1 racing fan and in consequence I had never heard of Ayrton Senna. But I still picked up this book to read and I don’t regret it.For one, it was nice to know that unlike today’s commercialized, overexposed, revealed lifestyle where each and every movement of an individual is recorded it was nice to read about someone who didn’t seek publicity for his charitable work. It was also nice to know that Senna was not only a Formula 1driver but also gave thought to the safety of the game and the participants. It was unfortunate that the safety norms he initiated could not be applied to him. It is almost ironic that he died due to the game’s unsafe measures.It’s these kinds of details that endear an individual to others and it is this information that makes me want to read about an individual whose name I had heard for the first time.  The title of the book has been completely justified by the author by interlacing beautifully the professional and personal life of a great individual.
