Racing is in my blood by Senna

His most applauded quote was "Racing is in my blood" this truly signifies a man commited only to racing. That's it no other choice of profession can match his desire to race, to compete and win it. No other Drivers are truly committed enough as he was, he was almost possessed when it comes to perfection. A class of his own, is a title befitting to a man who made such an impact in Formula 1. In 1989 the duel between the two great drivers was in penultimate race which was in Suzuka. Prost had been fed up with opening the door on Senna, this time Prost made his move on Senna by shutting the door at the chicane. This move made both the drivers stop dead in their tracks. Although Senna got the push from the marshalls, he still had to catch up to the race leader. With the superb pit crew getting everything done in a hasty matter Senna got out to go for broke. Senna did win but with complications with the FIA. Then the FIA told Senna that he made an illegal overtaking maneuver on Prost, thus punishing him and giving Prost even more points to clinched his 3rd World Drivers Champion. After Senna was castigated by the big honcho, Balestre president of the FIA. Senna gave an outstanding remark about his punishment, that led other teams boss, managers, drivers themselves to symphatized with him. Senna wasn't just a great driver, he was also strong in mind. Other drivers would have succumb to the intense politics in Formula 1, but Senna showed that no matter what happens he would still race because that was all there is for him.
