Ayrton Senna will always be considered one of the finest drivers ever to compete in Formula 1. In fact he stood upon the top spot of the podium at Monaco, the crown jewel of F1, no fewer than 6 times. The 2007 edition of the famed Monaco event takes place this coming weekend and marks the twentieth anniversary of Senna’s first win on the historic circuit. There is a whole host of events planned to celebrate the occasion.
I just came across this great in car footage of Ayrton Senna lapping in an NSX for the benefit of some Japanese journos. There are a couple of things that struck me as being pretty cool. Firstly, it’s nice to see that even a World Champion can get a little loose when trying to hustle an underpowered supercar. Secondly, the heel and toe action while wearing Weejuns is a great lesson in casual greatness. Don’t try this at home kids, your feet will slip of the pedals when you least expect it!
