“ To win a championship you need more than anything a very clear mind to understand exactly when is the moment to be aggressive, when is the moment to be calculative, when is the moment to give everything you have, when is the moment to hold everything you have for another opportunity. That’s the difference between winning and losing ”

Fastest lap
On 13 November 1982, Ayrton Senna walked for the first time in a Formula 3 car in the UK. The race at Thruxton was not worth the championship that year, because he had already ended, but it was the big test for the Brazilian driver, who knew that would make the regular season of British F-3 the following year.
The team was the West Surrey, the car was the model Racing Ralt RT3 / 82. Ayrton would have that weekend a great media exposure, mainly by the presence of the BBC TV cameras, one of the world’s communication channels.
