"The first challenge Senna faced, at the moment he arrived in the UK, was teaching his name. He was just a little boy. And he was incredibly thin! Thin as a rake! That 21-year-old beardless Brazilian racer seemed a bit shy at the beggining, however he had a lot of determination.
Never someone named 'A-Y-R-T-O-N' had stepped in the island before. Ralph Firman, Van Diemen's owner and Senna's team boss, was the first one to try to pronounce it while introducing the driver to his future engineers.
'This is Harry-ton', Firman said confidently, anouncing his new driver on a rainy day on February, 1981. Since 'Ayrton' was unpronounceable and Harry-ton sounded like an offense, Senna became Harry. For the team, he will always be HARRY!"

I've just heard the most beautiful piece of dialogue between my parents:
My dad said he supported Mika back in '98 because he didn't like Michael (he thinks Michael is very unsportsmanlike)
My mother said she supported Mika because she thought he was beautiful.
I MEAN WHO AM I TO JUDGE HER
bring the silly dances / celebrations back!!!
feeling extra happy today since i was accepted into law school :') LET'S GOOOO
history books will say they were "good friends"...
and it's about the most fruity teammate duo to ever exist in motorsport!
every time a movie is set in austria they start playing the most generic piece of classical music ever
this always makes me chuckle
first of all, i’m sorry for my absence: LAW SCHOOL IS NO JOKE
secondly, i’ll be more present during this year since my country BRASIL is back !!
i love this social media, i had to leave because i was really busy
