Ayrton Senna: The Second Coming

This book covers the last three full seasons of Ayrton Senna's brilliant career. The theme of the book is essentially demonstrating how Senna, faced by ever inferior equipment, still conjured a world championship and a string of brilliant race wins- culminating in 1993 when, despite having no chance of winning the title, he still managed 5 wins in his slow Mclaren-Ford. This compared favourably with the 7 managed by Prost in the all conquering Williams-Renault. More than just a record of Senna's brilliance the book also captures some of the essence of his enigmatic personality and the effect he had on those who followed his career. Not a complete picture but perhaps the best Senna book- showing him in a few short years doing what he did best and showing why he will forever remain peerless.
