30 Anos | Travelling to Ayrton Senna Statue in Imola

Foreword by Malcom Folley from Senna Versus Prost book

"For the first time in twelve years, Formula One had to learn how to deal with death at a race weekend. The day before, Roland Ratzenberger lost his life. Some handled it worse than others, and Senna seemed the worst affected of all. After a decade in Formula One without intentionally yielding an inch of road, after waging a feud against Alain Prost, and after a decade of driving at breakneck speed without acknowledging a weakness in his mind, Senna was now confronted by an event beyond his experience. Death. At 34 years old, he had finally met his match on race track."

- I don't recall much of my very early childhood, but I do recall a day like this me on picnic with family and close relatives where suddenly everyone got emotional and it was abruptly interrupted, someone died. I was just 4 years old and too small to understand much of it, but I was captivated by it, fascinated. Who he was and why he left such a big impact to people that never met him.

It was probably the start of my interest in Formula 1.

Now 10 days before the 30th anniversary of that day, going there coincidentally with the same age that Senna was when fate intervened, I just realize how young he was. Just month ago I had no idea or any plans to make this trip, and finally here I was on my way to visit this place where all that happened, the memorial, paying tributes to the man that probably started all for me - the passion for racing and my fascination with speed.

Standing there and seeing all those tributes, including my country's flag, the macedonian flag, surrounded by a group of people admiring just the same, silently - literally a fly could pass and would be heard - reminded of the fragility of life and the relentless pursuit of greatness that defines us all. Very emotional and poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of time and the importance of cherishing every moment.

"The same moment that you are seen as the best, the fastest and somebody that cannot be touched, you are enormously fragile."
- Ayrton Senna
