In a podcast episode of F1 Beyond The Grid, former driver Bruno Senna spoke with Tom Clarkson about the enduring legacy of his uncle, three-time World Champion Ayrton Senna. He described recent champion Kimi Antonelli's visit to the Senna family farm, where Antonelli drove one of Ayrton's cars and tackled a go-kart track designed by Ayrton himself.
Bruno also recalled Ayrton's 1991 home victory in Brazil, when an exhausted Senna celebrated while stuck in sixth gear. He said Ayrton taught him how to fight on track, preparing him for his own Formula 1 career with Hispania, Lotus and Williams in the early 2010s.
The conversation also covered the work of the Senna Foundation, which has helped educate 30 million children in Brazil since it was founded. Bruno praised today's Brazilian Formula 1 talents, Gabriel Bortoleto and Rafael Camara.
