This is not Senna’s own biography on how he had climbed a spectacular Racing Driver career nor is it about technical calculation on how he had achieved and implemented different gear ratios on each circuit, though the book goes in detail on the preferred best racing line should be employed, and other invaluable aspects which many racing schools brush over.
The book also angles on a great fantastic scholarly aspect particularly upon his own quotation as "I do it this way" on how to of motor racing. But the best parts are how Ayrton prepares for not only a race, but a season, a championship, and life in general. Senna was a truly analytical, psychoanalytic, and spirituous person as clearly depicted on the last chapter covering the preparation, the underlying psychology and you will be moved.

The poll voted three-time world champion Ayrton Senna as the best Formula One driver of all where as the seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher had to settle for second place, and third place goes to Juan Manuel Fangio who won five titles between 1951 and 1957.
The remaining of top 10 F1 drivers of all time: 4 Alain Prost; 5 Jim Clark; 6 Jackie Stewart; 7 Niki Lauda; 8 Stirling Moss; 9 Fernando Alonso; 10 Gilles Villeneuve.
Senna was recognised for his qualifying speed over one lap and from 1989 until 2006 held the record for most pole positions. He was among the most talented drivers in extremely rain-affected conditions, as shown by his performances in the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix, the 1985 Portuguese Grand Prix, and the 1993 European Grand Prix. He also holds the record for most victories at the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix and is the third most successful driver of all time in terms of race wins.
He won his first World Championship in 1988, a title he would go on to win again in 1990 and 1991. As McLaren's performance declined in 1992, Senna moved to the Williams-Renault collaboration team which then began to dominate the sport in 1994, but suffered a fatal accident at the third race of the season at the San Marino Grand Prix in Italy after winning 41 races.
After Senna's death it was discovered that he had donated millions of dollars of his personal fortune (estimated at $400 million at the time of his death) to children's charities, a fact that during his life he had kept secret. His foundation in Brazil, Instituto Ayrton Senna, has invested nearly US$80 million over the last twelve years in social programs and actions in partnership with schools, government, NGOs, and the private sector aimed at offering children and teenagers from low-income backgrounds the skills and opportunities they need to develop to their full potential as persons, citizens and future professionals.
