Its hard to believe that it was 16 years ago that a legend passed away. Also, 16years and 1 day F1 mourned the loss of Austrian Roland Ratzenberger was also killed. Its said that Senna had an Austrian Flag in his cockpit so if he won the race, he'd fly it in Ratzenberger's memory. He was indeed a true Genlteman and a legend.

Ayrton Senna, gone but never forgotten.

I was fortunate to see Senna drive at the British GP several times.

He went off at Copse just in front of us, in his McLaren..

Of course, he got a warm welcome from all the Brit flag wavers!!

Legend, tho...
