The book is very well produced, presented in an attractive case, and the material used for the reproductions is all high quality. The note reads: “Brilliant Formula 1 championship England circuit race, where the second place would have been a fairer result.” One unusual item that caught my eye was a telegram from the president of Brazil following the 1991 British Grand Prix, where Senna had retired late in the race with a technical problem. There’s a lengthy letter from Senna to a friend, an invitation to the 1990 FIA prize-giving ceremony, and his British competition licence from 1981. The ‘interactive’ bits are by far the most interesting part of the proposition. This along with the £30 price tag marks the book out as one for the dedicated Senna enthusiast. The idea behind this book, and the reason behind that “interactive voyage” tag, is that as well as a biography you get copies of various interesting documents from Senna’s life, such as official letters and testing itineraries, pictures of which you can see below. So what’s the cause for this new title as the 15th anniversary of Senna’s untimely passing approaches?
If there’s one thing my bookshelf isn’t short of it’s Ayrton Senna biographies.
