Just want Ayrton Senna?
Hello. My name is Ayrton Senna, and I loved to go fast. I was born a long time ago, in the year 1960, in a sunny country called Brazil. When I was only four years old, my dad gave me a very special present. It was my very own go-kart. My go-kart was small like me, but it was so fast. Vroom, vroom. I would drive it all day long, and I loved pretending I was in a big, important race. I even loved driving when it rained because I could splash right through all the big puddles.
When I got bigger, my cars got bigger too. I practiced driving my race cars every single day because I had a big, wonderful dream. I wanted to be the best racing driver in the whole world. I moved far away to a country called England so I could be in even bigger races. I drove super-fast cars in special races called Formula One. It was so exciting. I won many races, and in 1988, 1990, and 1991, I became the world champion. Everyone would cheer when they saw my bright yellow helmet.
I loved racing more than anything, but I also loved my home, Brazil. I wanted to help the children who lived there. I lived to be 34 years old. Today, people remember me for my fast driving and for my big heart. They say I help them want to work hard and chase their own big dreams, no matter what.
