Some say that Michael Schumacher, 7 times Formula One Driver’s Champion, or Allan Prost, 4 times Formula One Driver’s Champion, is considered the best driver of Formula One. But when being asked who their number one best driver is, many had said that Ayrton Senna is their number one driver, the so-called Prodigy Child of Formula One. Not many would have roads named after them, and movies based on their life, but if you do, then you’re sure to be somebody calibre of being named a legend.

The potential to add to his three Formula 1 world titles was cut short when he was tragically killed while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. His native Brazil soon declared three days of mourning for the legendary racing driver. Allan Prost was among the pallbearers for Ayrton Senna.

Now, there’s a new documentary film being produced to tribute this legendary man, who was loved by many, and hated by few.

For those who do not know who he is, now’s a good time to watch Top Gear’s tribute to him.
