Ayrton Senna

"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."

"And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high."

"I continuously go further and further learning about my own limitations, my body limitation, psychological limitations. It's a way of life for me."

"I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence."

"If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear."

"Money is a strange business. People who haven't got it aim it strongly. People who have are full of troubles."

"Racing, competing, it's in my blood. It's part of me, it's part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else."

"These things bring you to reality as to how fragile you are; at the same moment you are doing something that nobody else is able to do. The same moment that you are seen as the best, the fastest and somebody that cannot be touched, you are enormously fragile."

"When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough."

"Women - always in trouble with them, but can't live without them."
