can you share some interesting facts or things you think most people don't know about ayrton? i find him real fascinating, and as a newer fan that also isn't brazilian i guess it can be a bit harder to find these things!

heya Anon!

I'm not brazilian either- Im from london (rraaaaaa what the fuck is a sunny day) so dont let your nationality hold you back from research! If you are interested, there are many places you can find out about Classic/Retro F1 online, or if you are also English, the national archives in London and on the BBC have many articles and old clips with lots of information. But I am lucky to live in a country thats so dilligent with safeguarding histroy.

But here are some of my more niche Ayrton facts:

-He was left handed

-He barely EVER drank so he was a complete lightweight

-He was a terrible sleeper, and would chase the peacoks in his garden for waking him up early with a gun

-His favourite food was pasta and he'd often ditch the Mclaren catering and steal food from Ferrari

-He was a skilled chess player (or maybe other people got too distracted by his good looks and lost- either way he won many of his matches)

-Ayrton actually lived in some pretty rough ereas in England for a bit while he waited for his career to take off. To this day there is a street named after him in Reading (which is near me so of course I have pilgramidged to see it)

-Ayrton was an absolute NERD and loved building and flying minature planes (him and my dad could have had a shared hobby there lmao)

-Ayrton had Bell's Palsey, which caused half of his face to paralyse when he was younger. Brazilian doctors told him it was uncurable, but Ayrton, stubburn git that he was, hired a specialist from (i think) Europe and worked for countless hours every day and did what was thought in the 80's to be medically impossible and reversed his symptoms

most of these may be common knowledge in the classic F1 community idk, but to someone new these may be interesting!!! Hope you enjoyed anon
