Jarno was deeply moved when he saw Ayrton Senna’s yellow racing helmet on display at the factory.

“He was my idol, I had the opportunity to meet him, and I felt I was sharing an unforgettable moment with a very special person. On the track, of course, Ayrton was the quickest, and some of his races remain engraved in everybody’s minds. But what was perhaps more important was that he was a nice person outside the car. He was a great role-model and he knew that that at the end of the day the most important thing in life is not motor racing.”

”I think now everything has been said about this extra-ordinary man," said the Italian driver. “I feel that if I said anything else it would be superfluous.”
