Senna gives an NSX a great drive while cameras pick up his heel and toe technique and the speedo and tach.
Apologies if this has been posted before.

I've probably watched this video a hundred times, and it always makes my heart beat faster. The guy doesn't even have proper shoes on and he's doing this as if it's like walking. What a man...

And he even flashes the headlights at the reporters ... incredible.

He is wearing Ferrari driving shoes.

No... they are Penny loafers

Still amazes me every time I see it. At around 1:48 it appears he is going through a right hand sweeper at maximum speed

I guess we could debate....but the Video is not clear enough to know for sure.....However,I dont believe that Senna was a "Ferrari Guy".

there will never be another like him. did they ever charge anyone with his murder since the steering linkage was messed with before the race and then crash?

Not sure. But regardless, what a loss. I consider myself lucky to have been alive during the Senna era and watched him make history around the f1 tracks.
