Ayrton Senna Quotations

It's going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I'll risk saying that we'll be lucky if something really serious doesn't happen.

Because in a split second, it's gone.

I cannot live on an island of prosperity when I'm surrounded by a sea of misery.

I was already on pole, then by half a second and then one second and I just kept going. Suddenly I was nearly two seconds faster than anybody else, including my team mate with the same car.

Then suddenly something just kicked me. I kind of woke up and realised that I was in a different atmosphere than you normally are. My immediate reaction was to back off, slow down.

You either commit yourself as a professional racing driver that's designed to win races or you come second or you come third or fifth and am not design to come third, fourth or fifth, I race to win.

There are no small accidents on this circuit.

When a man holds you round the throat, I don't think he has come to apologise.

Fear is exciting for me.

On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
