Ayrton Senna – The Messiah of Motor Racing, by Richard Craig, aims to compile a “factual account of the late Brazilian’s life and career, painting a realistic portrait of the brilliant driver while debunking the myth that he was some kind of modern messiah” and examine the mythology that has formed so strongly around him.
