Ci sono piloti che vincono, altri che restano nella Storia. Ma c'è un solo pilota che nel ricordo fa ancora battere il cuore. Ayrton Senna è stato l'ultimo mito di un'era romantica e sentimentale. Era un sognatore, dei sognatori aveva l'ingenuità e la ferocia. Reggeva l'aura del predestinato, serbava la malinconia dell'eroe solitario, coltivava il fascino irresistibile di chi è di tutti senza appartenere mai a nessuno, offriva il profilo al destino che si stava compiendo. Raccontarlo oggi - scartando la banale contabilità dei trionfi - significa tornare a recitare un atto di fede.
