This deepy personal, illustrated volume draws together the memories of those who knew and loved Ayrton Senna, telling in their own words why he was so special to them, as a driver, as a man, as a colleague, as a friend and as a hero. Christopher Hilton, author of previous sensitive studies of Senna, asked a host of people inside and outside of motorsport for their strongest memory of him. The answers were touching and surprising.
