Story behind

Ayrton Senna at Estoril

In atrociously wet conditions in the race depicted in this Fine Art, it only took Senna about 15 laps to shake off all his pursuers, with what would become his trademark superiority in the wet, controlled yet quick, always in the highest gear possible to avoid wheelspin. By the end of the race, at the wheel of the black and gold Lotus, he had lapped the entire field at least once, with the exception of the second placed driver. And the rest, as they say, is history! There is not much extra left to say about Ayrton Senna that hasn’t already been said, written and described. He will remain a true legend for time to come.
