Brazil: 14 years without Ayrton Senna

Thales Barreto ^[1] [pt] reminds readers that 14 years ago today Ayrton Senna ^[2], a Brazilian racing driver and triple Formula One world champion, was dying in a fatal accident in at Imola. “Character, dedication, solidarity, energy, pride. I easily associate Senna's image with some of these words. He had a head of state like funeral. Our last Big Man was buried. The brightness of Senna's sad eyes is eternal. I wish the new generations will never forget the myth. Brazil is poor and petty.”
