Ayrton Senna: The original obituary

Twenty years after the death of Ayrton Senna, we republish the original obituary written by DAVID TREMAYNE for Motoring News in the hours following the accident

Originally published in the May 5 1994 edition of AUTOSPORT's sister publication Motoring (now Motorsport) News.

Ayrton Senna was the most committed man I ever met.

The sheer depth of his approach to his profession was something few ordinary people could truly understand. We speak of breathing, eating and sleeping a subject; well, Ayrton did just that but nothing else mattered so much to him in the world.
