The Ayrton Senna memorial image thread

[xpensive]

I always have incredibly mixed feelings about Senna. Do I think he was a God? No. Do I think he was the greatest driver ever? No. Do I think he was stupidly and unnecessarily reckless when racing? Yes, and that's over and above what other drivers were doing.
...

Remember when he was blackmailing Ron Dennis in 93, asking a million dollars per race and flying back to Brazil in between?

You can't really argue with the blackmailing as he won 5 races, probably more were it not for Benetton being the preferred choice for updates on the Cosworth engine. Besides, Ron more than made his money back with the bag of Francs he got from Peugeot the next year, and then the even bigger bag of Deutschmarks he got from Mercedes in '95.

I did a bit of photoshopping, now I am thinking about drawing this image in charcoal and pencil.
