over the circuit sometimes.
The name of the hotel
was Hotel Castello.
He was a very simple man.
He was kind, he mostly kept to himself.
He often requested to have dinner
in the restaurant...
and he always requested a table in
the back, away from the other guests.
The whole weekend was terrible.
First there was the accident
of Rubens Barrichello...
and the day after Roland Ratzenberger.
Ayrton had only met him the day before,
because this was his first Grand Prix.
The team manager
for Ratzenberger arrived.
So I had to tell the team manager
what had happened...
and Senna was standing alongside
me when I did.
The team manager went away and
Ayrton got very upset. He cried a bit.
I said to him:
You've beenyou're the fastest man in the world...
and you like fishing.
So I said:
Why don't you quitand I'll quit and we just go fishing?
If you asked him a difficult question,
he wouldn't answer immediately.
You could see him thinking how
he would deal with that suggestion.
Finally he said:
Sid, I can't quit.And I suggested
he didn't drive that weekend.
And he said:
But I've got to,I've got to drive tomorrow.
He said:
There's no waythat I can stop driving at the moment.
our dear friend Alain.
We all miss you a lot.
In the morning we had TV coverage.
And I was doing my job.
Then we looked
at Ayrton's commentary.
is not about corners or gears...
but he said:
First hello to Alain.Alain, I miss you.
That was live. And they broadcast it
in the morning and before the race.
And again, people saw that.
So this odd sort of friendship we had...
was a little bit hidden
by all the fights we had.
In the last two weeks, we were good
but in a strange way also.
The last thing I remember
when he was alive was...
As a Ferrari driver, the Italians
have a special way of celebrating you.
When they announced my name,
the Italians were jumping and shouting.
I was just in front of his car,
and he was looking at me and laughing.
that we were friends.
It was an honest love. He was happy
when something went well for me.
That was the last time I really looked
in his eyes and we saw each other.
There were many
heavy accidents before.
I had a very big accident in '89,
I nearly died there.
in the hospital to ask how I was.
I said I was OK..
but that corner was very dangerous.
Someone could die there someday.
It was too dangerous.
We were just talking a bit.
Months later we went to test in Imola.
Ayrton and I said:
This corner should be changed.
we looked how it could be changed.
We looked over the wall
and Ayrton says:
Look, you can't. There's a river
behind it, so you can't move the wall.
And we looked at each other and said:
We can't move the wall, that's it.
And we walked back. That was
It was the worst day in the history
of Formula 1...
because although
many drivers were killed in Formula 1...
before Ayrton Senna
none of them were as famous.
None of them were respected
and idolized worldwide like Senna was.
And the impact of Senna's death
on Formula 1 in particular...
motor racing in general
and the world at large...
was something
that had never happened before.
and I pray it never happens again.
the loss of one the greats in Formula 1.
But memories of Senna will never fade.
Across the world, his spirit lives on.
I have the feeling that he's close by.
I can't explain it.
But I can feel it.
I'm sure that he's close by.
We have this thing about death where
we can't talk about it or think about it.
It happened ten years ago now...
but the feeling is deeper
and more intense.
Things come up
in our collective consciousness...
that we were in danger of forgetting,
like his tenderness.
That he was a very simple man,
which is what impressed me the most.
And one of his nicer qualities:
His humility.
Ayrton said one time...
that the rich can't go on living
on an island...
surrounded by a sea of misery.
We all breathe the same air.
So we have to give children and young
people a fundamental chance in life.
Ayrton and I shared that vision.
It sprouted from our family.
The family raised us with these values.
They taught us to respect
other people...
and that it's important that we pass on
these opportunities to others.
And to be responsible.
We are all jointly responsible
for our own country.
In the 10 years we've been active,
we've been working for 10 years now...
we've helped 3,930,000 children
and young people all over the country.
It's because I had, first of all,
a good opportunity in life...
to grow properly, to live well,
to live a healthy life.
I learned a lot.
And I was led, at the key moments,
in the right direction, I believe.
