Ayrton Senna was born April 21st, 1960 in Sao Paula. He was born to drive. When he was 7 years old, he sat in old jeep and drove it. Nobody taught him how to drive. So his father decided to buy him a kart. He got his first kart when he was 10 years old. He started racing when he was 13. He smashed track records wherever he raced. In 1980 he decided to go in England and signed contract with Ford. His first race in formula 1600 was 1.4.1981. He won in his third race. The next year he decided to enter the formula 2000 category. He won almost every race. Then he raced in formula 3000. Here he was a 2-time world champion. Then he raced F1 in Toleman. He was world champion 3 times. His last race was 1.5.1994 in Imola. He never finished the race. So he finished his life and sports career.

He is my hero because I think he is the best driver in the world. He was the most talented and honest Formula One driver. He knew what he wanted to do in his life but he died too quickly. He is a hero not just for me, but for a lot of people.

Some of his thoughts: "I have worked hard to get to success, but I wouldn't get anything if God didn't help me". "God gives me the strength. Life is a gift from Him and He gave it to us so we must take care with it".
