Ayrton Senna da Silva (1960-1994)
The most talented person ever to drive a Formula 1 race car, back in the days when there was actually competition. Raced with McLaren for six years, winning the Driver's Crown three times (1988, 1990, 1991). Known as the "rainmaster" for his absolutely unmatchable wet-weather performance. Won the Monaco Grand Prix six times, three of which in an inferior car than his rivals. Still holds the record for most pole positions (65) despite a fatally-shortened career. Was killed in San Marino, Italy, in 1994 with Williams-Renault when his steering column snapped near the end of the Tamburello corner in Imola and crashed into the wall, which caused a suspension spring from his front right wheel to detach itself and pierce through his head.

One of the most Charasmatic drivers ever,and also one of the Fastest ever. Died at the Italian GP at Imola, at the Tamburello Corner when he smashed into the wall and the suspension whacked him on his head. Hated Alain Prost because he was just as good as him. Probably the best wet weather driver of all time.

Cockney Rhyming slang for a ten pound note, often used in Great Britain and the Commonwealth nations. Ayrton Senna rhymes with "tenner".
