Ayrton Senna da Silva

Ayrton Senna da Silva (Brazilian Portuguese: 21 March 1960 – 1 May 1994) was a Brazilian racing driver who won
three Formula One world championships.
He was killed in an accident while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. He was among the most dominant and
successful Formula One drivers of the modern era and is considered by many as the greatest racing driver of all time.
He was the most recent driver to have been killed at Formula One World Championship event until July 2015 following the
death of race driver, Jules Bianchi.

Senna began his motorsport career in karting, moving up to open-wheel racing in 1981, and winning the British Formula 3
championship in 1983. He made his Formula One debut with Toleman-Hart in 1984 before moving to Lotus-Renault the
following year and winning six Grands Prix over the next three seasons. In 1988, he joined Frenchman Alain Prost at
McLaren-Honda. Between them, they won all but one of the 16 Grands Prix that year and Senna claimed his first World
Championship. Prost claimed the championship in 1989, and Senna his second and third championships in 1990 and 1991.
In 1992, the Williams-Renault combination began to dominate Formula One. Senna nonetheless managed to finish the 1993
season as runner-up, winning five races and negotiating a move to Williams in 1994.
Senna has often been voted as the best and most influential Formula One driver of all time in various motorsport polls.
He was recognised for his qualifying speed over one lap and from 1989 until 2006 held the record for most pole positions.
He was also acclaimed for his wet weather performances, such as the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix, the 1985 Portuguese
Grand Prix, and the 1993 European Grand Prix. He holds a record six victories at the Monaco Grand Prix, and is the third
most successful driver of all time in terms of race wins. Senna courted controversy throughout his career, particularly during
his turbulent rivalry with Alain Prost. In the Japanese Grands Prix of 1989 and 1990, each of which decided the Championship
of that year, collisions between Senna and Prost determined the eventual winner.

Ixo Models (BIXJ000002) Ducati 916 1995 First presented at the Bologna Motor Show in December 1994, the 916 Senna was a special edition to commemorate Formula 1 World Champion, Ayrton Senna, who was an avid Ducati owner and endorsed its release two months prior to his death in May 1994. At the time, the project was facilitated by the fact that Claudio Castiglioni, Ducati's owner, was a personal friend of the F1 legend. In total, between 1995 and 1998, Ducati released three "Senna" editions and, in every instance, net proceeds were donated to the Instituto Ayrton Senna charity.
