adds quite a bit of interest!
Why does a man born to wealth and family seek such an occupation? What kept him going after so many triumphs? After the death of his friend?
It is impossible for anyone not Brazilian to imagine how important this charismatic fellow was to the Brazilian psyche. Like Pele, he transcended his sport, but in a more personal sense: not every Brazilian plays soccer; every guy that slipped behind a wheel, however, imagined he was Senna blazing around Rio or Sao Paulo.
There is something of the Greek tragic figure, Icarus, in Senna's life--- and especially, death.
