Baby Senna Time!
(1982-1983)
Mallory Park, 1981.
Young Brazilian Ayrton Senna engages in a heated argument with Argentine driver Enrique Mansilla after a collision during a Formula Ford race. The incident prompted headlines in the United Kingdom about the supposedly dangerous “Latin temperament” of South American drivers. The image, captured just moments after the clash, became emblematic of the beginning of his European career — a period when the future three-time world champion had to fight for respect off the track just as fiercely as he did on it.
