May 5, 1994. Brazil prepared a head of state funeral for its greatest idol. Ayrton Senna da Silva. Formula 1 driver. Died at age 34 while racing. Smashed at more than 300 km/h against a wall on the Italian circuit of Imola. Three million people procession for the remains of the champion, returned to his hometown of Sao Paulo. Brazilians mourn Ayrton, archangel of Formula 1, threetime world champion, undisputed genius of this mechanical bullfight with global accents. They also mourn Senna, billionaire pilot, businessman and the image of Brazil "which wins". An emotion all the more vivid as Senna leaves at the height of his art and his glory... And on stage... On Sunday May 1st, a few minutes after the start of the Imola Grand Prix, the Formula 1 loses its greatest champion. Sad epilogue to a cursed race.
