Adriane Galisteu remained his girlfriend for the rest of his life – a real love affair that was the most serious and public relationship he ever had

With his last chance of joining Williams gone, Senna announced on the Wednesday before the Brazilian Grand Prix that he would be driving in his home event. “This is the same agreement we had for the South African Grand Prix and after the race we will talk about the rest of the season, which is our objective,” he said. On race day, the weather was changeable. Prost spun off and Senna took his second home victory, to the crowd’s delight. He hugged Juan Manuel Fangio on the podium. The weekend also marked Senna’s first meeting with Adriane Galisteu, the 19-year-old blonde model who was working as a Shell publicity girl at the event. She remained his girlfriend for the rest of his life – a real love affair that was the most serious and public relationship he ever had
