The Death of Ayrton Senna by Richard Williams

Ayrton Senna was a brilliant driver of his generation and his death was all the more shocking because he had seemed invulnerable. This book examines the meaning of Ayrton Senna to his fellow Brazilians, to motor sport, and to his admirers and detractors around the world. It describes his career on the track, including his fierce rivalries with Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell and Michael Schumacher, and his life off it, where he was a resourceful businessman. The story of his life is framed by descriptions of the events of the week after his death, when millions of people took to the streets of his home town, Sao Paulo, to say farewell to their favourite son on behalf of a nation.
