Ayrton Senna be Making a Few More Decisions Himself

IMOLA 1994

Senna arrived in Bologna on Thursday 28th April to begin his preparation for the San Marino Grand Prix, a race he liked and had won three times previously. He was there on business, mindful of his life after Grand Prix racing, helping to launch a Senna-branded mountain bike.

He was also distracted by his family's attitude to his personal life, particularly his girlfriend Adriane. His younger brother Leonardo had been dispatched by Mission Control in São Paulo to tell him that 21-year-old Hungarian-Brazilian model wasn't the right sort of  girl for him and he should promptly ditch her.

Senna had appeared in glossy lifestyle magazines with Adriane, both of them wearing nothing but tiny swimming costumes and a smile. Milton da Silva nearly had a fit when he saw the pictures, and made his displeasure known to his elder son. But Senna was a man who had been used to listening to the man he still called 'Daddy' for long enough, and was perhaps thinking at 34, he should probably be making a few more decisions himself.
