The preface by Ivan Capelli
“Immense, incomparable, inimitable”: thus Ivan Capelli in the presentation of “Tutto Senna”, the new book by Enrico Mapelli (Giorgio Nada Editore, 255 full color pages, 24 euros), describes Ayrton. A legend that Ivan knew well and that he began to admire karting.
Everything has been written about Ayrton, but…
Obviously, everything has been written and said about Senna. But the idea of ”Tutto Senna” lies in the fact that for the first time we try to narrate, in its entirety, all three “faces” of the legend. That is, the man, the pilot and the champion. All through a beautiful photographic reconstruction of Ayrton’s story to immediately understand how different – sometimes even contrasting – the three faces of Senna were. In fact, the book proposes further three hundred images and many of these are unpublished. Another rare thing because as we said before, everything has been written and said about Senna.
The underlying theme of the story
The underlying theme of the story? The analysis of all Ayrton’s races in F1, one by one. From the most famous to the less famous, in search of the soul of a driver who will remain forever in the hearts of all fans. On the other hand only the chronicle of the individual Grand Prix allows us to fully understand the historical “dualism” with Alain Prost and Senna’s relationship with his many teammates at the different stages of his extraordinary career that began with Toleman and ended, tragically, with Williams.
