Senna

An earnest search for the truth behind the tragic death of Formula One legend Ayrton Senna – a catastrophe that still holds unanswered questions.


By veteran journalist Franco Nugnes, who worked for Italy’s motorsport bible, Autosprint, at the time of Senna’s passing:


• Three decades on, Nugnes endeavours to get the inside story of that fateful 1994 event from some of the key figures, and to reconstruct what happened that day

• He interviews the likes of Andrea Ficarelli (Senna’s discoverer), Angelo Orsi (his close confidant), McLaren team coordinator Jo Ramírez, engineer Giorgio Ascanelli, Cesare Fiorio (head of Ferrari), Jean Todt (former Ferrari technical director), Luca di Montezemolo (former Ferrari president) and former racing drivers Riccardo Patrese and Érik Comas

• He also obtains special insight from the doctor who tried to save Senna’s life

• This book does not seek to sensationalise, but tries to uncover the true facts through a meticulous investigation
