"If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver."
There’s one huge thing wrong with this quote that’s often overlooked… Senna was actually lying. So today, I’m going to explain why this statement is wrong, how it's misinterpreted and also, why was Senna lying - which he actually admitted to a year later.
As Senna sat down for that famous interview with Jackie Stewart, a video clip was playing of the crash he’d had with Alain Prost just a few weeks before, at the start of the Japanese Grand Prix. A shunt that had resulted both driver retiring from the race, and in Senna winning the 1990 World Driver’s Championship.
And Jackie Stewart didn’t go easy on Senna.
