After all, he did not hide his faith in God, nor what was reached before each struggle and in the fateful, Italian Grand Prix, who cut his life a broken (guilty?) Steering pillar. In his great opponent Allen Prost, he had said that he would have nothing to do because God is protecting him, but « if it is something to happen to me » as he had said, « I would like to be done one and out. » He did not want to stay, neither disabled nor fight in hospitals.

Senna, like all drivers, were shocked by the Brazilian calling for cancellation of the race because of the hopping security offered by the track! He always asked for the rules to be changed in security. He no longer wanted to go like … lambs in the slaughter. No one listened to him the next day, the « god » of the Grand Prix lost his life at the Tamburello turn. THE You, Without reacting, it fell at 217 km/h on the barriers. He also renovated the torrential rain that delayed the race, when two drivers clashed with each other and the debris injured some spectators.

He was impressed with the way he broke the boundaries and laws of nature, chasing the victory without fear. He had the patron of God, as he said. Senna was shocked by reporting that in a struggle, in the rain, he saw the form of God. The coincidence and the day he was killed was raining.
