“Ayrton was called the King of Trouble because wherever he went, something would happen. There was competition back then. It was a sport that had excitement. Today it’s lost that.”
The exhibition “Monaco Senna Celebration”, which took place 19-27 May 2007 at the Fairmont Monte Carlo, celebrated the 20th anniversary of winning the Monaco Grand Prix with a tribute to the Ayrton Senna. The event is sponsored by Honda, Hublot, Segafredo Fairmont and Radio Montecarlo.
“We are so proud of having Hublot as one of our long lasting partners and extremely honoured that they chose the SENNA collection to present their new special watch design and technology. Celebrating Ayrton’s victories and titles with such a beautiful and special collection is outstanding.”
-Bruno SENNA
